A machine isn't saying so, it's me. So... need I mention it's my opinion, which I'm sure you'd agree I have a right to express, however strongly?
For its range, lack of any remote reliance on visible technique or histrionics, and ability to expose the humanity of what ultimately is a despicable character..there is no equal in film.
Lamprecht also is not a wonderful physical specimen, seemingly a glob of fat and muscle with nary a "beautiful" physical trait to help him.
I have long considered Brando's performance in "Last Tango" the ultimate screen performance but no longer: Lamprecht bests him, considerably.
