This is what moviemaking, or story telling of any kind, should reach for. On the surface, a simple story well told. But "The Basket" delivers more. From the well defined historical period depiction, the grand scenery, the beautiful score, and a classic story of human conflict and redemption, this was a fun and satisfying movie night out.
