Neuanda's rating
It has taken me 24 years to see this film, and I couldn't have chosen a better time to do so. Vivien Leigh is STUNNING in this film, outshining her performance in GWTW ten fold. At any other time in my life, I may have seen Blanche as a crazy, one-dimensional dame, but now, oh, now I see her as a multi-faceted character with real humanity and soul. She is not crazy, but beautiful in her heart-rending quest to find stability. Though the film is somewhat stagey, there is some magnificent camera work and there are some impeccable shots of Vivien Leigh, in particular. Karl Malden as Mitch also delivers a stunning performance.
That is a very strong claim to make, and as you all can see (for those of you who HAVE seen this great film), I am so enamored of it that when DPS came out 9 1/2 years ago, I casually picked up the nickname "Neuanda" (chosen by one Charlie Dalton, a character in the film), and haven't let go of it since.
It is extremely important to tell all of you who have not seen this movie that your experience with DPS will not remotely mirror what I went through when I first encountered it. Some of you will love it, some of you will loathe it, while others, still, will have mixed reactions.
And that is the beauty of it (and the beauty of moviedom, in general).
I was 15 years old and emotionally poised to receive a movie of this calliber. I was young enough for it to become a part of my still malleable soul, and old enough to understand the gravity of its message . I can only hope that something similar will happen for all of you who have yet to see it. The movie's message is a simple one, but profound and enlightening, just the same. Please take the 2+ hours to experience it, and relate it to your life the best way you know how. That is all I can ask.
Carpe Diem and Enjoy.

...I must contest the previous review. Though this film is admittedly quirky, it has an underlying message that is both hilarious and poignant. And with a soundtrack that includes Seal, Tori Amos, Grace Jones and Wendy and Lisa, I suggest seeing it for the score alone.
