This is the only movie I've seen that rises to the intellectual level of literature. Very smart, very elegant, wise and perceptive. The acting is uniformly masterful, the directing sensitive, the cinematography tasteful. Rarely is one moved by a film in a thoughtful way, but at no time does this film pander to the audience or resort to tedious cliches. It even offers fresh insights. Film is the least important art form, but this is among the few movies that transcend the medium. It is a masterpiece: one cliche that actually applies in this case.
