This has quickly become one of my favorite movies of all time. Love, sex, drugs, death, prophecy, fate, treachery, abuse, regret, despair, hope, redemption, forgiveness ... it's all there. When I first saw it in the theater, I just sat in my seat, stunned by what I had just witnessed: a modern parable of LIFE. Sometimes you think P.T. Anderson has bitten off more than he can chew with this movie, but somehow he pulls it off. Brilliant story, stunning acting by a spectacular cast, hauntingly poignant music, perfect editing. Sure it's long, but you couldn't tell this story in less than three hours. I don't say this often:
A masterpiece.
A masterpiece.
