Review of Once Upon a Time in America (1984) by Andre D — 27 Jun 2009

Este testamento de Sergio Leone fue destrozado por la critica en la epoca de su estreno, lo que llevo a alterar su duracion. Ahora, gracias a la magia del DVD podemos apreciar esta obra maestra en su version completa (aunque existe la leyenda de una version de 12 horas).

Magnificas actuaciones, magnifica historia, magnificas secuencias de violencia. Todo un clasico del genero de mafia.
