My dad is a huge fan of The Godfather (so I am), and he told me about this movie when I was around 20, and 2 years later a good friend sent him the dvd, so I finally had it. I watched it with not so much excitement; expectation was mild. My head was blown off, not by huge special effects or big explosions, there's nothing of that in the movie, but from an amazing story, beautifully told, and lots of detail. You really need to turn off from the world to see this masterpiece. It has great acting, great plot, awesome music, long silent scenes where music is the only story teller. This is not your normal movie hit, it's a deep, slow movie. I won't even try to tell you what is it about, because you can't reduce it like that.
