I was fortunate enough to catch this in the theater with my wife at the only cinema nearby still playing it. Great choice of location too because it was a large screen in a classic style cinema, pitch black and no outside sound leakage. Perfect viewing for a densely woven movie that demands your attention throughout.
I’m amazed a movie like this can even be made these days. It’s a beautifully crafted piece of film, with top-notch acting throughout, excellent cinematography, a perfect soundtrack, and very evocative of the period it represented.
This is the kind of movie that today’s generation, in general, don’t have the patience for. Needless to say I loved it and will definitely pick it up on Blu-Ray when it’s released.
