Audience Member This is the film that Buster Scruggs wanted to be. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw this when it first came out. Now some 35 years later I still tell people this is one of the best movies of all time on my list. Why? I am writing this review now partly because I am promoting the film to be shown in my local film society, but also in reaction to he reviews on here that seem to have missed it. I think it is a really 'filmic' experience and as such probably needs to be seen in the format it was released in - on a wide screen in the dark, not on streaming or a small screen in a light room. The sensuality of this film, albeit rough, is at its core for me. It is not really about the stories it is about feelings and experiences - as the final section shows. Along with some of Picnic at Hanging Rock (original, not the awful TV remake) and the final sequence of Cinema Paradiso I think this has some of the most beautiful and haunting imagery ever shot. The Jar is by far the weakest for me and I confess to not really ever having understood its place in the film other than as light relief in what is quite an ordeal at times - except the reference back to characters in the final sequence may help. I do think that the journey to the final image has to be as long as it is - all 188 minutes. Perhaps modern audiences and a younger generation just do not adapt to that - we are all used to a rigid 90 minutes now. My advice is watch it in a cinema if you can, enter the world and experience (perhaps have a Sicilian meal first), with someone you love. Then tell me it is no good.
