It was absolutely dreadful, obviously, but my Minecraft obsessed 8-year old son had one of the best experiences of his life, so - by association - I did, too..

5 Reasons why this film is a masterpiece:
1. It's the best film Nicholas Ray ever made; a noir-tinged drama rendered in dark visuals of exhilarating beauty.
2. It showcases probably the greatest performance of Bogie's career as the short-fused screenwriter Dix Steele, a character he imbues with a neurotic edge that is frightening in its intensity.
3. This dialogue: 'I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me'.
4. Gloria Grahame is in it.
5. It just is, OK?!

Poem written by Yasujirō Ozu on the death of his mother in 1962:
Down in the valley it is already spring
Clouds of cherry blossoms;
But here, the sluggish eye, the taste of mackerel -
The blossoms are melancholy
And the flavor of sake becomes bitter.
[Note: 'the taste of mackerel' translates as 'sanma no aji', the Japanese title of An Autumn Afternoon]
