Took the words right out of my mouth Brett. There was a sort of
timelessness and plot weavings that it "sucked" you in. A movie
where bits catch up with you through the next two to three days.
The cinematography was as good as Seven years in Tibet (was
that the Brad Pitt movie), left a bit of a meditative trance on the
brain.
