wonderful ensemble production

from Long Beach, CA
Partaking of a 21st century retrospective of American life in the late 1950s -- as does the riveting AMC TV series "Madmen" -- this film evokes many of the same perspectives about conventional gender roles of that era, expectations about work, the acceleration of "gray flannel suit" corporate existence, omnipresent booze and cigarettes, etc. But it does so with an exceptional emotional intensity, with brilliantly nuanced performances, beautifully photographed but without the obtrusiveness of "beautiful cinematography": the technical proficiency becomes eclipsed by the compelling overall experience.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
