Yeah I would need to watch it again. It wasn't horrible but when you're not able to listen or follow some of the story (especially in a case like this) it kind of takes away from the movie. As for your question of what constitutes a masterpiece, I think it's all in the opinion of the viewer. For me it would just be something that I would think is flawless and something that I'd want to buy on DVD and this VERY moment among other thing such as acting, directing, the use of music, etc
