What a fantastic film! The opening sequence alone is a dazzler, and the whole premise of how to handle one's youthful indiscretions (and how others should handle them) is very well played out indeed. This film is a visual delight, and the fact that you can understand the various characters' metamorphoses, both in the gap of time missed and in the film itself, easily complements the brilliant cinematography.
The protagonists were a group of young anarchists with a film camera that have all morphed into various dimmer, adult versions of themselves. It's that camera work that gets them in trouble and reunites this group.
The timing is fast, the dialogue crisp, and the characters dynamic, humorous, and touching. At first I was a bit disappointed with the ending. Seemed too Hollywood. But in retrospect, I realized that Hollywood would never have allowed such an ending.
Let it burn!
