Let me start by saying this movie inspired me to "think" like the protagonist who dared to ask the meaning of life and did something to answer it. I saw in Larry Darrell the same questioning in every man.
From the moment the story begins I saw life streaming throughout the tale as Larry dared to go and follow the path of spiritual longing. I saw someone choose to abandon the world in the quest for wisdom in vivid detail. The scenes are so evocative that my breath changed and I was there myself doing the same thing.
The rest of the drama, the love story and Larry's humanity displayed through the film were all truly appreciated by this film lover. The contrast between the snobs and the earthy characters within the narrative was also striking and very enlightening to say the least. The acting was superb and Bill Murray shows a side you'd never expect. Theresa Russell deserves an Oscar for her performance. Superb film.
score 10/10
