Great job Steven – glad to be reminded of those precedents which offer a great sense context and contrast. In fact I think the film probably works best in relation to these comparisons rather than on its own. I must say the lack of ‘troughs’ – or rather the insistence of the music – was rather overwhelming to me. (‘relentless’ indeed). A little room for the viewer would be welcome! I don’t know if its one of the greats therefore (or a masterpiece as its widely identified as) – while its possible to admire its structural ambition and technical virtuosity I didn’t feel there were many people in it. But you’ve got me thinking – I’ll go back again this week!
