A very good movie

I remember it very well, I saw this movie when it was released and, actually, it would be pretty neat to re-watch it again after all these years. Anyway, back in the 90's, Harvey Keitel made a major come-back, mostly thanks to ‘Reservoir Dogs’, and he was one the most interesting actors around. Unfortunately, in the 2000's, he went back to minor movies... Anyway, in this movie, Keitel, like the rest of the cast, was really good. This movie was also the very first time that I saw William Hurt and the guy really impressed me. What I didn’t know then, is that Hurt was actually one of the most heralded actors of the 80’s, a status he lost at the beginning of the 90’s but never managed to get back. After watching this movie, I have been following his work ever since and I think the guy is actually really underrated nowadays. Coming back to our main feature, the directing was very good and the story was quite fascinating. Indeed, at the time, Paul Auster was one of the most acclaimed writers in the world and it was just amazing to see his spellbinding way to tell a story in a movie like this one. To conclude, even though it is pretty much forgotten nowadays, I think it is a really good movie and it is definitely worth a look.
