Title: Some sequels are great!
Product review: This film can stand on its own, but viewers will appreciate it all the more if they've seen the earlier Arcand film "The Decline and Fall of the American Empire." In this sequel we see the same intriguing, disparate group of characters years later, and this is a character-driven opus like its predecessor. Flawlessly directed, beautifully acted, intelligent on many levels, thoroughly satisfying. A huge plus: there's not a hint of Hollywood.
