Winter's Tale

I watched the movie Winter’s tale and I loved it. In fact, I watched it twice, that’s how much I loved it! Winter’s tale is a love story set in a mythic New York City and it takes place in two different times, the early 1900’s – if I’m not mistaken- and today, thanks to the premise of the movie, which is that love can perform miracles. It is sprinkled with pop theology and spirituality and it is a story very well told, cinematically. It stars Colin Farrell, Russell Crowe, and Will Smith. I have to say that Colin Farrell seems to be exceptionally gifted genetically; he is nearing his fifth decade and yet looks like and can play roles of men in their twenties. The film is photographed exceedingly well (the winter landscapes especially are breath-taking), is fast-paced and interesting and I whole-heartedly recommend it.
