I grew up aware that this was one of the greatest films of all time and even with that lofty bar it didn't disappoint. Each scene is crammed with artistic and technical genius. In any other film the themes could become trite but here they are confident, explicit and literal while still putting plenty aside for the viewer to do.
It really is very, very good and it's almost 100 years old! Recommended.
