a fantastic cinema experience . i really enjoy see this truly magnificent film in the theater when it come out . there be nothing to add and except that be a terrible shame that sir albert finney still isn not accept by the ampas ( american academy ) . after role in such film a tom jones and murder on the orient express and under the volcano ( to name only few for these he be nominate for the oscar ) and the dresser be arguably his highlight and yet . i know and oscar be just popularity contest and but if american like british actor and actress ( and the oscar go to jeremy iron and daniel day lewis and anthony hopkins and emma thompson and glenda jackson etc . and they all deserve the award . ) and why they always leave sir finney with empty hand . on the other hand and they give it to john wayne and marisa tomei ( in cousin vinny ) . i do not know and should i laugh or cry . if you have see the two lead in the dresser and you would not forget what be the art of act . watch this film and enjoy . i recommend it to everyone who love art . i give positive for this excellent film ( 1 point miss for non cinematic material and after all it be just a theater ) note represent my criterion be much strong than this on imdb ( 10 only for the cinematic masterpiece that should or could last forever ) .
