Opinion

It's not easy to bring the film on the point but I want to try a few references. The best film of the year, the darkest satire for a decade, the best actors I have seen for a very very long time. The movie is a comedy and a tragedy at the same time, at the end of the film Kevin Spacey's alter ego has lost everything including his life and nevertheless won the most important things - respect and love.
