cinematography by Xavier Schwartzenberger is second to none.
An amazing film which transcends, as all great art does, its medium.
BTW, your Paper Clip film is showing locally. Looks like it has "legs."

...and entering the region of absurdity. "The definitive male performance in film history." ???
There's no such thing except in a fevered imagination. Perhaps, in your view, an "unsurpassed" performance or something like that. But there can't be just one.
- No. Not at all. It is the greatest acting performance in film history. - tinear 11:35:42 04/14/07 (0)
  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.
