Being There

"Being There" is one of those unique films that will stick with you for months and years after you have seen it. Peter Sellers is so good its scary. The commentary in the film is hilarious and the shots outstanding, as a whole the film sparkles with brilliance, it is haunting, funny, thought provoking, entertaining and aesthetically pleasing to watch. It seems as though Ashby wanted to capture a Magritte painting and set it in motion on the screen, he does this and Sellers puts on arguably the performance of his career, how he did not win a best actor is baffling.
