Visually the film is a masterpiece. Old 50s and 60s film stock took me back in time. Every scene had me 🤤 (especially Italy).
Themes of rise and fall. Creation v destruction built into the characters and what you see physically on screen.
Plot wise, it left a little to be
desired. The scope of the story itself is its own worst enemy. There’s just so much in there to unpack and I’m not sure even 3.5 hours was enough.…
