Unique
22 January 2001 | by – See all my reviews

A picture that will be unique for all time. As timely as when it was made in 1974 and will still be timely a hundred years from now. As in the beginning of time where it starts and ends. Unique, in that cinema has not gone here before. A film of such great beauty and yet not a word of dialog with only three characters.
