1999 ***** 188 mins.
There is so much to say about this film that one small review cannot, possibly, contain it. This is a magnificent film that teaches some very valuable lessons. Lessons about life, love, and even filmmaking. This is a rare work of art that really gives an aspiring artistic filmmaker faith that art will always be appreciated in film. This film investiages the ideas that all of our lives are connected in some way and that everything happens for a reason. One thing is for sure: once you see this film, you will never forget it.
