I haven't seen this movie in years. Perhaps it's time to watch it again. I was just looking at the credits and realized how many big names were in it. At the time, I didn't know any of them.
The movie is visually stunning, with beautiful cinematography. And the actors aren't a burden to watch.
One of the striking memories for me was that this was perhaps the first movie I ever say with an unapologetic portrayal of homosexuality, but the movie wasn't really (to my mind) *about* homosexuality. It was one facet of a gay character's personality, and it was addressed as a personality component that manifests differently for different people. For some, it is a phase. For others, a burden. For others still, just a fact.
This is not an hour and a half you'll want back when it's over.
