This is an excellent film and a must see when you are still in your early twenties! The roles played by a cast of excellent actors represent not so much traditional characters but rather TYPES leaving in this small Louisiana town. To enjoy the action of the film watch it a few times, and pay attention to the tiniest details and motives of the narration.
Look how much there is to look out for:
Love and lust - what a great tragic comedy in the lines of Emily Lloyd and Jennifer Tilly...
Love and talent for sale - Faye Dunaway is at her best!
Vision of art as a miracle, something that escapes your grasp - Denholm Elliott and James Earl Jones should have got and Oscar for their dialogues and dancing :-)
And finally, there is that great theme of life and death, justifying and reconciling both over the smoky waters of the Yellow River...
On the whole, this film can be interpreted as an excellent essay about love of life and a fight for both of them in the lines of a great calling that everyone should seek.
Mahler's music is in romantic contrast with the zesty country rhythms of the Scorchers county. So what is it so special about it?
