A movie to see again

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2006)

This was really an incredibly lovely movie visually and the acting was excellent. The story was unusual and well worth the wait for the ending. A huge surprise. Edward Norton is such a versatile actor; as is Paul Giametti. They work well together on the screen, as does the woman who plays Norton's love interest. The only thing that bothered me (sorry) was the really awful mustache that the "mean" character wore. Silly observation, but distracting. Looked like it was stuck on and ready to fall off. Norton is really superb; his melancholy character played so very well. Edward Norton never over-acts. He just plays the character in his movies so convincingly. And Paul Giametti does himself proud as the inspector who asks too many questions. The scenery is well-done and you get the feel for the time period. You also feel the eeriness in the theatre where Norton performs. Highly recommend the film; best seen on the big screen.
