Well, Eric, I had VERY high expectations for that film...

...and it exceeded every single one.

I am under a spell now, and that shall probably continue for a few days.

I wish I had the most powerful language on Earth to properly describe the power, the intensity, the atmosphere that could be cut with chain saw. The way it grabs you and never lets go, all the while "moving very slowly" as some would say.

It is incredible that I was able to retain so much over the 27 years that passed. I was anticipating the scenes that I remember loving - who could forget Jack flying over Barcelona? I remember being completely mesmerized by the way Maria was moving in the end, and this time the effect was even stronger.

The director work, the photography are without equal and shall continue haunting you for long, long time.

I don't think Jack has even risen to that level again, not even in his "other" best works. And Maria... words are pale here. Somehow we lost track of her career, as I don't recall any of her later works. The Tango was trash and I would not count it, although she was the better part of that film. Have you seen her later films? Which ones should I look for?

Anyway, we both stayed silent as the credits rolled. A trully unforgettable film. One of the best ever made anywhere by anyone... such cliche, but so true here. It is so nice to fall in love again.
