You are fully right Bernardo, and I admire your patience...
One word I would still add again and again to emphatise still more the value of " The dead " a film as warm as life can be and in the end as cold as the marmor of death.

A second, "thank you" to Bernardo. Ok, you guys are making - tinear 03:55:55 07/07/04 (12)
me see "The Dead," even though Ms. Huston is one of my least favorite actresses...
- "The Dead", a truly wonderful film. - Auricle 05:28:42 07/07/04 (7)
  It was a critical success but only developed a decent following in home video. I've had the Laser for years.
  Whether or not one end's up liking the film, it is beautifully directed and acted. As for me, I love it. It makes no attempt to be a great film; just an accurate retelling of Joyce's short story (often called the greatest English short story ever written). And in that it sets for itself an impossible task. No matter. It is exqusitely beautiful and painful.
  There are some interesting reviews on the imdb, link below.

      I have been waiting seemingly forever for the DVD. I have this on leaserdisc and the aspect ratio is incorrect. I watch this every year at Epiphany. It is more enjoyable each time.

        I can hear the closing music now. "The Dead" (story and film) is an epiphany, as are many of the stories in "Dubliners".
