Brando turns in a rivetting performance
It opens with two canvasses by Francis Bacon which set the meditative mood for the entire length of the film. How can you expect a modern American audience to appreciate a classic like this? It's about the deep themes in life, love, loss, death and sexuality. It's a slow film. There are no big explosions or high tech weaponry.
