What critics are saying reminds me of the terrible sentence the famous poet Ruben Dario uttered against critics: Bufa el eunuco. It's not kind, but it suggests the amount of frustration that creativity arises in others.
The critics were good at sinking this film ... for the moment. I predict that with time "Youth without youth" is going to become an icon, one of those shared secrets among true motion pictures lovers.
You, reader, who hesitated after reading the unanimous choir of bad critic, do yourself a favor and go see it ... if you can, that is, because it's not playing in many places.
This is simply a classic. The beauty of the images and the music, the play of the actors, and the subjects treated ... this is the stuff of eternal art. The topics are the irreality of time, love lost and recovered and lost again, the human thirst for knowledge, for superior knowledge, that is, the one that interrogates the unknown and bites at it with passion. If you don't know who Chandrakirti was, or Professor Tucci, it doesn't matter at all. You do understand that the fabric of time is insubstantial and that is enough to follow the rest of the plot.
I am not critic. I am an old movie goer, though. And I know when a film is good.
This film is extraordinary, a work of art. Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-1 of 1 Per Page | ||
