Russell Smith
Director Brambilla is a net plus, displaying a bold, aggressively stylish visual signature thats especially effective in conveying the romance and mystery of nighttime. ( Read More )

Roger Ebert

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Director Marco Brambilla keeps these characters interacting in a maze of plot developments which only serves to fuse Emily and Vincent closer together as the madness encircles them. ( Read More )
