The Legend of 1900 [IMPORT]

Summary: Another overlooked masterpiece
Review: I recently had the pleasure of seeing this remarkable achievement. I was over at a friends who had seen it on cable and he taped it immediately after seeing it once. My experience was love at first sight with a film that will captivate any audience, musically inclined or not. I still can't believe this film wasn't released in the US, I never even heard of it before, but feel lucky to have stumbled across it.

Summary: Best film that dosen't exsist.
Review: I origonally saw this film in Hong Kong and loved it. But when I recommend it to others, it was like it didn't exsist. The only place people could find it for rent was in Canada and Japan.
This movie should've been "best pitcure" of '98. Not to mention it's supurb sound-track, wounderful set disigns, and great acting.

Summary: One of the best works that never made it to the US theatres
Review: I saw part of this movie for the first time in passing a premium cable channel. I then stalked through the guides to find out when it would be on. I watched it. I was amazed. I then spent a few hours hunting it down online, but could only find it in VHS PAL format...until just recently. Wonderful can not begin to describe the rich plot, music, and characters to this film. What amazed me more than the film was the fact it was never released in the US back in 1989. A true shame. I highly reccommend purchasing the soundtrack as well.

Summary: Why Cinema Was Invented!
Review: Perhaps one of the most cinematically beautiful, metaphorically rich, supurbly acted, and thought-provoking movies I have ever felt privileged to glimpse. I say privileged, because one would have had to have been a sleuth to have known about it or seen it in its limited theatrical release. It is criminal that the studios lack the vision to back these rare gems they keep burying in the sand.
Spend whatever, do whatever to find a copy and consider yourself
the richer for it.

Summary: Legend of 1900
Review: This is undoubtedly one of the best films I have ever seen. I'm just amazed at how many people are totally unaware of this film. Such flowing romantic motion and masterful cinematic art is found in this beautifully directed and acted film. Tremendous storyline. I would suggest the film execs to re-release this one with better marketing this time...but then again those of us who are aware of it could just keep it to ourselves. Tim Roth is King.

Summary: beautiful
Review: Its a wonder why these sort of movies don't get made often and when they do, they end up lower on the rental shelves or in one or two theaters because the studios balk at the general populace seeing something like this and liking it. everyone needs sex,violence and flash for their money but movies that are made like this leave you with a lot more then what you got for your dollars at the theater or rental store. its such a shame and as an aspiring film maker I find it very frustrating.

this film will appeal to people who like their stories with a tender touch. As long as there's a story to tell, its never the end and Guisseppe Tornatore directs this like a great fable with rich cinematic visuals and orchasteral direction. Ennio Morricone the composer once again leaves the winds breathless and asking for more. The story of a gentle man named 1900 who lives on a ship and plays the piano like a God is told so beautifully that once the end comes, its hard to believe the film is over.

like few, this film is a gem, a masterpiece . If you like this my recommendation is to also watch "the english patient"

Summary: If you love Jazz piano this is a wonderful story.
Review: This movie starring Tim Roth is one I just happened across one evening. I paused to see Tim Roth playing the piano. This story is a fantastic look into a mans life. Who has never left the ship he was born aboard. He doesn't feel like he has missed out on anything. If you like a wonderful old story set in the era where large ships were used for trave then this is the movie for you.

Summary: By far, the best film I've ever seen!
Review: This is a beautiful movie. The acting is beautiful. The cinematography is beautiful. The music is beautiful. Tim Roth is one of the most amazing actors, and his performance as 1900 is absolutly astounding. I highly recommand you buy this wonderful film.

Summary: one of the greatest movies ever made w/o commercial minded
Review: this is one of the most profound movies i've ever viewed. 'red violin' is good but not as good as this one. some of the other great movies that are always on my mind are: "the music teacher", 'somewhere in time'. i'd like to thank to those producers who could put this kind movie into production without putting the big denero boxoffice in mind. otherwise we would never have any chance to have such sublime and profound feelings and opportunity to learn that we do also have some passions revived by such great stories.

Summary: Enjoyable Film
Review: A gem! Enchanting. Loved the story, acting & the MUSIC. Well worth watching more than once. Close to 5 stars. The demolition scene will ROCK your subwoofer! Tim Roth's performance is top knotch. Buy the CD soundtrack & DVD for added enjoyment.
