15 From 72: My Favorite Films Of 1972 (15 movies items)

" This film is an excellent example of what can happen when all of the effort of special effects is replaced with maximum effort into the script. Definitely a thinking man's science fiction film whose intellect sacrifice none of the science nor none of the fiction. The plot utilizes the fantasy element of the genre to delve intricately into themes of the pysche such as regret, love, pity, self-inflection & even the most monumental of these concepts, the justification of life and death.

" The Ups: I love this slow-moving dreamy science fiction filled with symbolic imagery and a beautiful Natalya Bondarchuk. Hypnotic in style and with interesting philosophical questions. The Downs: You need to be patient. Especially the overlong scene through the road tunnels of Japan almost kill the flow of the film. "
