catala_2001's rating
I must have seen the movie at least once in all the decades: once in the 70s, once in the 80s, about thrice in the 90s and twice in the 2000s. I think it's great: Mia Farrow, the gealous stiff husband, the funny moustached fellow in white, London, the love story, the food streets, the final scene on the boat and, of course,... the music, which has been haunting me for almost four decades! With all the new films to see, that I can hardly keep up with, and which I devour for hours every day, a classic like "Follow me" is a treat", it's like a magic box that you open and old memories pop up like pop corn!Really great!
I saw "Scent of a woman" perhaps for the 20th time and it touched me like it had touched me the first time I watched it. It gives the positive message that another great movie ("As good as it gets") gives: in spite of all hardships, life is worth living! Even if there is too much "testosterone" in this movie(there are few feminine characters in the story who are, I must admit, delicately and non-mysoginistically presented!)the male actors are magnificent, starting with the future Oscar-awarded Phylip Seymour Hoffman and continuing with young Chris O'Donnel who is extremely natural and convincing( I am still unsure if I liked Chris O'Donnel or Al Pacino most!)As for this great actor, Al Pacino, he is the reason for which "we, the people" are forever bewitched by the charms of the cinema...
