Similarly, the performance by Harry Dean Stanton is brilliant. <BR/><BR/>Beside Robby Muller is one of the greatest cinematographer alive today and this is certainly one of his rare masterpiece in color else he is certainly the god of black and white photography.niteshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667299083541761990noreply@blogger.com
