There is one thing about this movie that I want to talk about which makes this film great. It is the title and inherent theme therein. Picture a snowflake falling outside your window. Now, freeze-frame, and zoom in until you are enveloped in an ice palace that is way more spectacular and unique than Superman's house. This is your plan, a white speck made up of an infinite number of other variables, and it is as unpredictable in nature as it is uncontrollable. There is a scene late in the film in which four men walk through snow into a forest, and their trails line up parallel behind them. In the end, those paths are no longer so orderly... The characters are equally profound yet outwardly homogenous. Amazing performances, Beautiful photography. AND ALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF 'THE EVIL DEAD'! Rating: ****1/2 (four and one half stars)
