5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing close to mindless, June 14, 2000

This review is from: My Twentieth Century [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was disturbed to see those reviews that considered only the pure sensousness of the film, as if its brilliance indicates a lack of greater purpose. Don't let the incredible film sequencing and luminousity take charge here--there is greater depth to the film than the gorgeous filmwork! No, I don't understand all of this film yet, but it will be a wonderful lifetime figuring it out--and I think that is essentially the tale that this film tells.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, visually-beautiful film, very warm and human!, August 16, 1999

This jewel, shot in black and white, is visually stunning. The story is light-hearted and brimming with humor. The film represents the very definition of high-art. It will likely be recieved as frivolous and nonsensical by the rigid and quasi-mature; however, open minds and free spirits will return time and again to bask in the pure pleasure.
