This film is over three hours long, and is a flaccid drawn out tale of magic.
A story within a story that is retold many times but is presented in such a flat, distant way with static cameras, soft focus shots that it is hard to sit through to the end.
This film came out the same year as "The Conversation", "Godfather part II", "Chinatown", "Blazing Saddles", "The Mirror" and "A woman under the influence", as well as "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Watch any of these rather than this film.
Hasn't aged well.
