This is one of the finest films I have ever seen. The use of visual art in terms of light and shadow, symbolic pieces scattered throughout the film, dialogue, music, character movement, etc. all give this film the ability to transcend time and generation to endure. Jack Lemmon gives his best role ever in this film. He is known for his comedic excellence, but in the film his portrayal of Joe is both heartwarming and terrifying all in one. I recommend this film to anyone and everyone because, simply put, it is a public service announcement concealed in a work of cinematic excellence. It should be included on every list of the movies to see because it fulfills the criteria of both giving the viewer the pleasure of a great story but also leaves you with a message that remains with you when the film is long completed.
