Man With Cane:Ninos. I've seen so many of them grow up. Other people look at the children and they all imagine a new world. But me, when I watch them, I just see the same old tragedy begin all over again.

I haven't seen the film for quite a while but I still remember it as one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. In my memory the last scene is an incredible, uncut take of about ten minutes in which Jack Nickolson is simply waiting in a hotel room. The shot starts with the camera in the room, then it moves through the window (right through some iron bars as I recall) to make a very slow flight above an almost deserted square outside (there is a small driving school vehicle riding round and round.) Meanwhile another car approaches, some people get out and go in the hotel, the camera stays out while we hear these people walking up the stairs, entering the room and then a shot. When the people come out of the hotel and get in their car the camera makes a loop back into the room again. Almost nothing happens in sight, but nevertheless -or maybe because of that, the suggestion- it is such a wonderful shot, it's hard to describe, it is a 'must see'.
Unfortunately the movie is not yet available on dvd. Is there anybody who knows if and when it will be?
