Ralf explores V for Vendetta

The concept of one’s favorite film is an elusive one to me but if I’m allowed to name only a handful or two handful, V for Vendetta will always make the cut. It’s a film that has left its mark on me ever since I first saw it in the cinema at age 16 and it has continued to affect me, move me and comfort me various times over the years because its mood, its characters, its sense of sights and sounds just resonates with me. So much so in fact, that I felt compelled to finally put all my thoughts on it over the years into one cohesive review, celebrating the sum of its parts by celebrating its individual strengths. Its themes are timeless and its storytelling is engrossing and affecting. It’s an instant classic if I ever saw one and I shall hold the film dear to my heart for as long as I live.
