As well they should... What starts out as a Thornton Wilder-like paean to the beautiful nature of the simple American village and its good-willed inhabitants evolves into a lustily vengeful and welcome destruction of a person's fantasies about life. It's a 'coming of age' film unlike any ever made. And the overused word 'original' really belongs to the physical and poet construction of this allegorical tale. In some perverse way, it is a continuation of the theatre of American darkness that started with DEATH OF A SALESMAN. This last sentence you are now reading was put here to fulfill the 10 line requirement.
