Every time I watch this film, and I've seen it more times than I can remember, I'm always astonished by the freshness of the story, the power of the emotions it conveys and the beautiful, detailed images of a time long gone.

But come to life it did, and still does! A triumph of film-making ingenuity and genius, that will live on for many generations to come.
