    scorsese chose this as his best film of the 1990s, even though released in the 80s he argues that it was really not known at all until the 90s, when he first saw it.
    this reason alone makes me really keen to see it

    This is a full course meal for the eyes-- just beautiful and phantasmagoric and full of color and open landscapes filmed in gorgeous CinemaScope. The story is very skeletal and it takes a while to get into its wavelength, but you'll soon find yourself feeling for this repentant criminal that just wants to feed his family while being true to rules that -at least to him- determine the destiny of his immortal spirit. spoiler Very recommended. 1 year 11 months ago
