Title: Amazing Film. brecht fans rejoice.
Review: I was actually surprised by how much I liked this film, but I have to say it's one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. Everything about it is stellar - the way the characters are first introduced, one by one; the way the story unfolds, slowly gaining momentum; the beautiful dialog... Seriously, this is what filmmaking SHOULD be.There's definitely a theatrical quality about the story telling that is very Brechtian... so the audience is always kept one step away from really getting involved with the story... and I could see that being a turn-off for some people. But, as a cautionary tale/examination of the human spirit, I've never seen anything half as good.
Is the review positive or negative?
