Magnificent; the acting, the location, the story

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2005)

It has been less than 24 hours since I rented the DVD, but the thoughts and images from the movie have stayed with me. It has been several years, perhaps since Somewhere in Time when I was a teenager, that I have been so affected by a film. The story is magnificent in it's simplicity. The acting is magnificent in the apparent endearment of the actors to their roles and their place in the story. The locations are magnificent in their pristine and uncluttered and unpolluted place not only as a part of geography but as a part in time. I will see this movie again, damn the late fees, and I will buy it as well as the novel on my next trip to a place that sells either. This movie is a treasure and ashames me to think that I have ever said that I have loved someone.
