One of THE most sumptuous, brilliant and thoughtful movies!
The opening scene of decadence, debauchery, excess and other worldly opening scenes which feels like it goes on forever, sets the tone for the following 3 hours or so.
Hilariously and disturbing juxtapositions abound relentlessly in a simultaneously entertaining, uncomfortable and downright wrong complexities of laughter, pity and, dare I proffer, sense of modern day โawarenessโ of the grotesque that is โHollywood and Celebrityโ.
Babylon is a feast yet also an assault on oneโs senses.
Stellar casting, (extras undoubtedly ensure superb atmospheric effects in literally every tiny aspect, with brilliant depth) whilst imbuing a tangible sadness and affection toward characters, ensure this is rightly so, served up as a masterpiece which viewers are able to relate to and abhor at the same time.
If you may be hesitant about diving in and experiencing this movie, hesitate no more, but immerse yourself into all it has to offer.
You will not be disappointed!
