Review: I am a film fan and enjoy all genre's, but this is truly a cinematic masterpiece. Black and white a dead format...be damned. The medium is the message. Black and white does the film a big favour, but do we all dream in colour ?. Possibly not. But we must have all shared the emotions Jimmy Stewart has, as well as his hopes and dreams. We, unlike him have never had the choice to correct things. It's shared emotions that leak from the screen and infects the viewer. Every emotion explored and played with like a painter with a brush by the director. I believe it was colourised at one point, and if you are a true movie fan avoid the colour. This Chistmas Eve myself and my wife will get close, light a candle and have a mulled wine while watching this superb movie, without breaks or any other irrelevances. Merry Xmas all. Mattyj. |
