Apart from the predictable ending (or was it?) this is one of Argento's best. It's certainly one of his more commercial films, although it was banned for a long time but I think that helped with its notoriety in the end. I love it and I can't get enough of its classic giallo style. He did it beautifully in the 70's and continued brilliantly in the 80's, challenging censorship and making fucking good cinema. Recommended!

The king of Giallo, Dario Argento at his best. Pure genius and glorious 70's cinema.

A beautiful heart warming story of life, death and peace. Kurosawa is undoubtedly the greatest director ever and Shimura's Mr. Watanabe is probably my most favourite cinema character of all time. This is one of the greatest films ever made!

There is no doubt in my mind that this is the greatest film ever made. every time I watch it (and I've watched it quite a few times) I find something new, new meaning, new metaphors. Kubrick made very few films but with him the phrase 'Quality over quantity' rings very true. Brilliant.
