Masterpiece
3 May 2010 | by pascal-de-pester – See all my reviews

The Master expressing faithfully his Master, what more needs to be said? Perhaps the fact that the Master's grand performance gives aw and chill to the stories, makes them come alive, yes, dauntingly alive for the masses, as if spoken by his Master himself, from beyond the Tomb of Ligeia.

The title of the movie says it all: it is an evening OF Edgar Allan Poe, not an evening with Edgar Allan Poe. This is no arrogance, just plain sincerity, as only one person on this godforsaken planet had the right to say and do so.

I have been tormented in Beauty many times. Thank you, my Masters, for tormenting me once again.

Dixit.
