This movie is an absolute classic work of genius and work of visual art. Every image, every moment is delectable. The lighting.....oh my goodness the lighting. The shadows....oh my goodness the shadows. The debauchery.....oh my goodness the debauchery!
I won't go over the plot. The plot has been written on here 100 times. Why do it again?
The acting is fantastic. Not a single weak performance in the entire movie. The acting is gritty and deep and at times shocking. There is a rawness to the acting that serves the story wonderfully well.
Bottom line: The imagery combined with the acting makes this an absolute classic. It's mesmerizing from start to finish. A work of art. A work of genius. Be sure to see the color and restored version.
