Review of Body and Soul

Just because I saw the bad review and low star rating I had to say something. I loved it! The innocent originality of 1920's plots comes shining through again here. Surprises and a surprise ending. The characters were compelling and interesting. Some of the stereotypes made me uncomfortable at first, but hearts of gold and multi-dimensional features soon wash that away. The scenery was hypnotic in it's honesty in poverty and it's street scenes that don't appear to have been altered because a camera showed up. The score was jazz with acid jazz highlights. Very respectful of the ethnicity of jazz's roots and the undergrowth Paul did. Anyway, I loved it! Watch it, it's worth it.
