the best

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 1999)

Such a simple thing like that this film is the best of the past year, can not be accepted since it is not a common movie. I've seen Elizabeth or Shakespeare in Love, and I didn't find the powerful and keen strength of The thin... You got to remember films like Apocalypse now or Ivan Childhood (a movie by Andrei Tarkovski) to make comparisons. The tragic blindness of the war is something that move profoundly this film, but not with the Oliver Stone's tricks or the Steven Spielberg's rhetoric. The thin... is both ironic and poetic.
