I thought this was magnificent when I saw it at the cinema and then I read the short story on which it is based, then went back and watched it again, finding it even more affecting and thought-provoking on second viewing.
I'm hoping it's released on Ultra HD in the UK soon (the only existing version is a hellishly expensive US import) as I would very much like to watch it again.
