One of the best films ever made, this movie oozes atmosphere., 3 August 1999
10/10
Author: Gavin Jones (gavin@softhome.net) from Exmouth, England

One of the best films ever made, this movie oozes atmosphere. The cinematography is impeccable, the script disturbingly brilliant. It makes rural Oxfordshire feel like the African weld.

This movie is the perfect example of style in accord with content. A glistening original of sixties cinema and a rare example of how British cinema can equal its French counterpart.

It's impossible to describe why you should see this movie, it simply justifies itself. If you thought films began with Star Wars then prepare to be amazed. Anyone with a soul can't fail to appreciate this picture.
