this a very odd film indeed, odd in a positive sense, its like others posters have commented , a struggle between archetypes of good and evil. i love the fact that it takes place in a limited space and time, allowing an intense scenario for this characters to clash against each other no holds barred. the only real elements that trouble this elementary piece of cinema is the off narration and the acting from the young guy, who is Skowlimowski's son in real life. still a great movie ; Duvall against Brandauer, in a ship that doesn't go anywhere, what more do you want. catch this. Its a lovingly crafted exercise in film-making , with beautiful photography, odd locations, superb acting , and a great screenplay.
