okay and we all have different opinion but and make no mistake and this be an enthralling and absorbing and captivating film . first and foremost cassavetes make film for adult a phenomenon that doesn not seem to exist for film studio nowadays . a for the comment and question of one of the other reviewer well and there aren not necessarily any particular answer but the point be and i guess and that life like that thing be never quite a clear cut a cinema ( especially hollywood cinema ) make out . an over rat director like scorsese could only dream of make a film a realistic and mature a this while his film be generally ( and i be exclude taxi driver and rag bull here ) for adolescent . compare this masterpiece with goodfellas and for example it like compare a rembrandt to a rolf harris while there no deny the latter have some quality and but the former be operate on a different level entirely . incidentally and i would particularly recommend the long version rather than the 108 minute version and a that fill in some of the plot gap that other reviewer seem to be query . have say that and the shorter film have a few scene that aren not actually in the 134 minute cut and so why do not the power that be re edit it entirely so that a and let say and 140 minute version be make available . despite that minor quibble and this be as good a film a i have see in a long and long time .
