CGiii Comment

It failed at the box office.

It's probably the most loved film ever made.

And...it never won an Oscar - explain that one!

For this is a masterwork.

Clever, brutal, sensitive, a human story, a friendship - one of those rare films that you just don't want it to end.

A true modern classic.
