Compelling film that still resonates with me decades later. Even re-watching it whilst knowing the story does not spoil the experience.
It is more compelling than enjoyable - so you need to be in the mood to be challenged. It leaves you with a reinforced impetus to enjoy the minutes that you are given, whilst looking out for loved ones. Every one fits their roles and the sum makes a greater film than the original parts.
Total Film reviewed it in their 'Classics' section in the issue July 2016.
The Hollywood remake is laughable - it just shows the difference between challenging original and the comforting remake.
