European Cut (229 mins)
“Many years ago, I had a friend, a dear friend. I turned him in to save his life, but he was killed. But he wanted it that way. It was a great friendship.”
Words can’t describe how much this film speaks to me.
I rewatched it recently, this time with my dad (he ended up enjoying the film, though he found it a bit odd bless him), and I still appreciate it just…
