It grows and grows

Rating: 10/10 (29 February 2008)

I didn't think that much of this movie the first time I saw it. But certain images just stuck in my head.
I saw it a second time and I really saw it for the first time, an amazing movie. I just watched it for a third time and it just grows and grows.
The story is so simple and short. Yet it has the enjoyment, the journey of a major novel. I personally hate chick-flicks, am more the action-adventure type. But there isn't a boring moment in what is really casually paced.
The cinematography and the acting is so well done as to become invisible, just captivating. One of the few films where I never thought of any of the actors being "them" playing a part. They are so real.
A beautiful journey into a world so foreign, yet so familiar to our deepest thoughts.
