Title: A brilliant film that will be revered in time.
Review: I think this was a brilliant film -- a deep, thoughtful, poetically-directed tome on the unanswerable spiritual questions of life and a probing, disturbing snapshot of the current state of the American soul -- all wrapped up in the guise of a neo-"post-American greatness" psychological film noir. Led by a brilliant Edward Norton and a revitalized Robert De Niro, the acting performances were excellent across the board. It is a sign of the dreary state of American cinema, art and culture in general that a film of this exceptional caliber is not receiving the accolades and appreciation that it should. I think that in time it will be regarded as a great overlooked piece of cinematic excellence -- perhaps even a masterpiece.
