Solid 10/10. This is the type of work that you look at and exclaim "you can't write this stuff!"
It is, indeed, stranger than fiction and goes on...
to show how it's relatively easier to deceive people that are desperate - the good thing is that the people that were deceived weren't the hapless that you would bat for; satisfying! :)
FYI - the link to the 'Alternative' list is erroneous. The correct link is: https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/lacinetek+martin+scorseses+alternative+ideal+film+collection/gershwin/
Love it or hate it, you cannot ignore it. To me, this is a pathbreaking movie so far as 3D movies go. Comes closest (yet) to defining how well 3D (and IMAX), as a technology, could/should be used. Agreed that the storyline is not as intricate to be termed as magnificent and we do encounter clichés along the course of the movie. However, it didn't come across to be a pretentious attempt and most certainly didn't seem to use technology just for the heck of it. Another good movie from Alfonso Cuarón (following Y Tu Mamá También and Children of Men). A visual treat.
Wow! That was an awesome noir. It's a shame Polonsky was barred for 20 odd years from making movies post this. The loss is not just Polonsky's, but whole of Hollywood's! It was a death-knell to what could have been a remarkable career. *sigh*

A very atmospheric film shot exquisitely in the marshlands of Spain. The bird-eye shots of the marshlands are breath-taking.Toplist comment on iHaveThem

"Well, Henry, what do ya know?"..Henry: "I don't know much of anything"..
That, pretty much, sums up the movie for me!

I can't help but wonder why Jean-Louis Trintignant wasn't nominated for the Oscars. He could have certainly given DDL a run for his money...Movie comment on Freaks
