I was delighted at how much of the original's colour grading they kept, absolutely a visual masterpiece, among other things.

The Boy and the Heron 2023

Have you ever wanted to see Kirk Douglas play a suicidal gambler with an unnamed respiratory disease? Then this is the movie for you!
In all seriousness, Douglas' performance was the highlight of this film for me. The pacing was a little meandering at times, but the dynamic between Kirk Douglas and Jo Van Fleet was compelling and saddening all at once; and the repartee between Douglas and Burt Lancaster frequently had me laughing out loud. Definitely worth a watch, but I'm also not scrambling to watch it again.
