"As beautiful as 1982,"
It seems, was Denis' brief, a challenge met
And then some. When each frame is art, then you
Can lose the story, but this film won't let
That happen, as the actors' gazes are
Our guides to what's important. Too, the style
Of key performances well serves to bar
Our quick jumps to conclusions. All the while
The practical effects (so stunning) keep
Us far from disbelieving what's before
Our eyes. And Zimmer does a perfect, deep
Vangelis for a perfect pastiche score.
Uncanny valley Rachel is a low,
But otherwise, this nears a perfect show!
