An absolute cinematic masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2019)

I was lucky enough to land my hands on the UK BFI gala satellite screen ticket for selected cinemas in order that I managed to see this masterpiece first hand on the 13th October 2019. This is a date I'll remember forever - for this is the day the I saw a true 10/10 movie - and there are only about 6 of those.
Weighing in at three and a half hours, by the first scene, your immersed. I didn't look at the watch once - not once in all 210 minutes of the presentation.
The acting is sure to throw up Oscar wins, and if the films doesn't sweep the board I'd be amazed. The CGI takes a little getting used to (they still cant de-age the eyes very well) but on the whole the production is epic. No expense spared on location and filming. The film is a picture perfect window on the 60's 70's and 80's.
Joe Pesci takes the academy award for supporting actor, Pacino will take best actor and the film will walk best picture without a chance of opposition.
It's not Goodfellas, but it didn't want to be. This is a film about a man's lonely demise and fight with remorse (or lack of it) over a 50 year period. There's no one left now....the old country is dead.
Enjoy. It's faultess.
