Rarely have I been so moved by a film to procede to actually upgrade my initial celebratory comments on any cinematic work.

"Big Eden" is more than merely "delightful and memorable"; it's a truly great achievement, one of the all-time classics.

It took more than three viewings in a live theatre viewing to arrive at this revelation--in fact a half dozen showings.  Not that the film's fine attributes were not initially apparent.  Like many great works, new subtleties began to emerge during and after each subsequent viewing.


What a masterpiece this is.  Under the guise of a light, liesurely paced romantic drama is housed one of the most prophetic and philosophical revelations of the happiness and beauty in the life experience ever put on film.  It has never happened like this before ever, to my knowledge, on stage or screen.  

The discovery is inspirational.  I was so moved as to write Producer Jennifer Chaiken, urging her to encourage the film to be held as long as possible during its unfortunately "limited run" in order to build up word-of-mouth following.  I further asserted this is an essential family film for childern and adults of all ages that should play in every major and minor movie house in American and throughout the world.

Chaiken replied to my e mail, informing that the production team signed with the largest distributor available, that no major distributor would take on the film.  It's thus up to each and every one of us who understand and appreciate the greatness of this film work to spread the word.  Personally I'm proud and honored to be laud this work to all of my friends and acquaintances.

As far as I'm concerned, "Big Eden" is one of the major cinematic classics of all time.

score 10/10
