Somewhere between this and the 2018 remake lies the perfect telling of this story: one with a slightly longer but not bloated run time, one that explores the original’s themes without feeling overstuffed, one that blends the quirky cinematography of the remake and the beautiful colour palette of the original. This original, however, is much closer to said perfect film than the remake.
