Filmed in black & white, this film is a gourmet meal for the eyes.
In much the same way as colorizing an Ansel Adams landscape would remove the heart of the art, so too, this film just had to be in made in B&W.
From a cinematographic standpoint alone, this movie is spectacular.
The plot is mixed & flirts multiple genres from black comedy to heart-wrenching drama.
I must add the disclaimer that I am simply a huge fan of Bruce Dern, so my proclivity to favor this work is biased.
But Bruce holds forth by any standard, his character endearing itself in short order from his pure innocence to his unyielding perseverance.
All the performances are exemplary & the script is pure genius.
One of most enjoyable we have seen in ages.
