Best adaptation of Sherlock Holmes ever. Even better than BBC's Sherlock (it lacks the drug abuse and 'unethical' practices from the detective. It's too "politically correct", it's somewhat annoying). Now if you think I'm on the wrong show posting this, either you didn't watch House MD, or you don't know Sherlock Holmes...
If you think Inception had a complicated plot, this movie isn't for you. Really. There's charts with loops on the Internet which show the plot and what's happening when. You'll probably need to watch this movie at least twice.
It's very, very good.
A good show. A bit too crazy for me and the characters were a little bit shallow except the main one but thats not enough. The friends were all stereotypically crazy (supposed to be funny which it sometimes was). Her love interest is ok but the villain who is this manipulative women who pretends to be god is a good idea but they dont really show how she manipulates which is quite disappointing because the viewer fails to understand how Jasper gets into the whole mess.
Claire Foy has described this episode as her favorite of the season. And I totally understand why, it’s a great episode.
Visually sumptuous, but the pacing is painfully slow, and the narrative is simply boring. Berger's performance, the Bavarian locales, and Visconti's apparent identification with his subject are worth the significant investment of time, though.
