Alexander (2004, USA/GBR/GER/NED) C-175m. SCOPE *** D: Oliver Stone. Starring Colin Farrell, Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Christopher Plummer, Jared Leto. Technically faultless epic about the life of Alexander the Great, played by Farrell. Told in flashback style by Hopkins, film deals with the conqueror's relationship to his parents (Jolie, Kilmer), and his rise to greatness when he conquered many parts of the world. Well-directed, superbly photographed (Rodrigo Prieto), remains a worthwhile view throughout its 3 hours. Fine symphonic score by Vangelis (his first in a long time).
