"V" Reverberates: Vituperative Violent Vigilante


"V" appealed immensely to my idealistic, intellectual, imaginative self by providing a gratuitous tune-up ot one's moral compass. It is Zorro, Beauty and the Beast, Phantom of the Opera and Don Quixote all rolled into one. Tantalizingly touching upon and weaving threads including reincarnation, Jungian synchronicity, and Shakespeare along with the annoying way history has of repeating itself turns this film into a moving tapestry that I think shouldn't be missed.
