The fact that this movie is not better known is near unto a crime. Giuseppe Tornatore directed this fable based on a stage monologue. It is the story of Danny Boodmann T.D. Lemon Nineteen Hundred (A great performance by Tim Roth), born on a steam ship in January of the aforementioned year, he would prove a piano prodigy, yet would never be able to bring himself to leave the vessel of his birth. Spanning roughly fifty years the film more then ably offers us meditations upon a verity of subjects relevant to the human condition, concepts of friendship, love, home, fear, meaning, and destiny. There is also some great stuff on the allure and power of America as a dream or idea, it sometimes seems like the Italians get this more then we do. I have also perhaps never seen a film were the music is more integrally woven into the story, and Ennio Morricone’s score proves as lovely as any ever written. This is A beautiful, stirring motion picture that is truly one of a kind. A grateful Five out of Five.
