This is one of my all-time favorites. A true Motion Picture Masterpiece! Sure it didn't do well, and most everyone seams to not care for it too much, but my explaination to this is that it just wasn't the time for it. What I mean by that is that if this movie would have been released back in the 50's, it would have been a smash! It is very deep and deals with lots of emotions and interactions of people. This Movie has a heart, and everytime I watch it I get inspired.
It is a true masterpiece in writing, directing, cinematography, and acting. A remake of the 1938 Motion Picture, Death takes a Holiday, the script is outstanding. I give Martin Breast both thumbs up for undertaking the challenge of this script, and he definately succeeded. Emanuel Lubezki delivers amazing images (I love the images of the coffee shop). The Acting is incredible. Brad Pitt practically delivers two characters, Claire Forlani is breathtaking, and Anthony Hopkins is out of this world.
This Movie is a true Classic!
