They say it is a cult film, one I was not aware of anyway, and Tin though the best of this film, so as lately he has seem to develope not an uncommon taste as mine, I decide to look after.
And I can see why he has come to that highly regarded picture.
First it is brillantly played. Not one weakness, the actors are just perfect.
The mid-period of this film, starting with the trip to the county side to the return to London, is just but a real joy, if the whole film could have had this pace it would have been
a serious contender for one of my favourit in the years to come.
So I will sometimes give it another go.
More than worth, and even more so if you have been a part of the 60´70´in your actual life.
Tres bon.
