It is not only an instant classic but a "new" way of creating a film, creating a dreamworld by erasing or deconstructing the lines between fiction, documentary and... reality.
Not much happens and we don't get much explanation... but through some magical reaction between cinematography (more akin to still photography), film score, intelligent and restrained acting, and careful onobtrusive direction... we become part of this story, carried along the narrative stream... involuntarily.
Is anything "simpler" than sushi, yet more satisfying when properly presented?
This film is a feast.
Those that enjoyed it immediately must continue on to "After Life."
Follow Ups:
Patrick is away on business for a few days, but from my perspective the film is completely spellbinding... I am still under its spell three weeks later. This is a totally uncommon experience.I try not to go overboard in my reviews, as all those "great film" reports have been largely de-valued - something I always argue against, when mediocre stuff is presented as something special, not leaving any room on the scale for better works.
As I said, things like Tony don't happen more than once in a few year, and given the number of truly good films I manage to see each year, this should really be considered a **tremendous** praise.
I thought he was a professional bon vivant!
