A True Masterpiece
23 January 2012 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

"The Tunnel" is absolutely one of the best films ever made.

Peter Weller steals the show as Juan Pablo, a man whose life completely revolves around his obsessive love and bizarre relationship with a married aristocrat (played by Jane Seymour). She is extremely elusive with him regarding her private life, and he begins to think that, besides her husband, she may be sleeping with other men as well, including her own cousin!

In the end, desperate and jealous to the point of suicide, Weller's character does what ultimately must be done.

Believe me, "The Tunnel" is a must-see piece of cinematic work! Besides Weller's magnificent work in the film, also superb in smaller roles are Spanish actors Manuel de Blas and Fernando Rey.

My only question is, why has this film only been released in a substandard DVD version out of Hong Kong? A film this good deserves a high-quality anamorphic DVD and/or Blu-Ray release!!
