Finally, there's a proper trailer for this film: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/13assassins/

This film was excellent and kicked ass! I saw it at TIFF 2010 too. Do yourself a favour and try and see it in a good theatre on a big screen.

Beautifully shot film, otherworldly, and haunting too. Just recently watched the Criterion edition recently - gorgeous.

Probably my favourite Kurosawa film. Hypnotic cinematography great storytelling and incredibly well directed.

Louise Brooks is the cinema's first "modern" actress, in my books. This film, along with "Diary of a Lost Girl" (which, I have to admit, I enjoy a bit more than "Pandora's Box", though some will undoubtedly argue the point) shows the reason why, plain and simple.

Cinematic cool beyond what most any could expect of a film, but Melville pulls it off. Alain Delon brings his sublime good looks to good use here under Melville's direction. When someone asks: "Wanna see a cool movie?", then this film is what they should be referring to.

Beautiful. Brilliant. I'm not sure what to say about this film, except when I first saw it, it made me weep (in a good way) watching Irene Jacob smile upon accepting some brandy from Jean-Louis Trintignant, and gasp at it's final concluding shots.

Brilliant. One of the few movies I NEED to watch at least once a year, what with Walter Huston's worldly Howard ready for adventure, and with Bogart's transition from an honourable to paranoid Fred C. Dobbs. And it wouldn't be anything without Tim Holt dreaming of peach orchards, or Alfonso Bedoya's malicious smile. This film is easily in my Top 10 of all time, if not my Top 5!

I was lucky enough to see this on a big screen at the Cinematheque Ontario early last year. Fantastic. Compelling characters, great suspense, and the greatly appreciated patience of Melville to let his story unfold without overdoing it, as some directors of today are wont to do.

The first Melville film I discovered, and not the last, by any means. It made me realize what I had been missing from this stylish and talented director.

Another great Lean adaptation of a Dickens novel. He evokes the Victorian era so well, you can almost smell the dirt on the streets of London, and the desperate world of some of its characters.

Excellent Lean adaptation of the Dickens novel...beautifully photographed and acted. It's hard to look at any film version of Dickens without thinking of how well Lean pulled it off with this version, and with his take on Oliver Twist.

Hitchcock in top form with his actors, story, dialogue, humour and suspense.
