I disagree - Cimino gives us a rough, hazy outline of his characters, and struggles to fill them out via their actions or dialogue. It's more like seeing someone across the room at a party, and then hearing a jumbled anecdote about them from someone else. If I wanted to be uncharitable, I would say that we do get to know them well from the beginning, because there's not much to know about them in the first place.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but is the transfer on the Second Sight release the same as the Criterion?

Watched this the other day on a day off from work...a real treat...saw in the cinema when it was released 3 or 4 years ago..and was my first revisit..and loved it even more.

Anyone read the Bach book? (just ordered on line!)
