Magnificent movie. Overwhelming. I was interested to read that it had been drastically shortened. In places it's not easy to keep the story straight. The only aspect I thought not good was the American story. James Caan is not good and Geraldine Chaplin is bizarrely cast. But. Having said that, I can't think of many other movies with a similar sweep and ambition. Personally I still prefer Les Miserables; but that, I think, is one of the best movies of the last ten years.
