 I saw this in the theater years ago then in a revival showing (in a Gosha retrospective in L.A.) and on a bootleg tape (that was cropped.) Gosha is an incredible director and while this is complicated and long, it's in the vein of the Godfather Triology: literate, pulpy, evocative. Lots of atmosphere, good characters, action. Gosha does it all. ...I recommend the movie highly. All Gosha films are first rate. |
