EMPIRE'S greatness lies in the fact that no one has before, or since, made a film like it. This eight-hour long movie is one that you sit back and simply get lost in your own thoughts as you watch a single shot of the Empire State Building on one evening. It's like a moment of time captured forever, and more of an experience than a film, like watching a living portrait. It's amazing to watch this in a silent, darkened theater, if you have eight hours to spare, or even if you can watch just 45 minutes of it.
