Reviews
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I watched this one in a theatrical presentation today. Very impressive.It starts with a big understatement, cropped image frame with only a narrator from the center channel. But then the picture pulls to the full width of the screen, and the stereo sound kicks in with Wagner's fanfare.The magnetic sound mix sounds great even today. Although the use of the surround channel is very limited, it fully kicks in during the climactic wedding scene with female and male choirs.If you ever have the opportunity to watch it, please do. This is one of those gems you never knew existed.
