A visual interpretation on biology and reproductivity

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2018)

-- Contains slight spoilers.
If you are looking for a movie explaining the mysteries of the quantum world, you are at the wrong place. If you are looking for a movie explaining why you are having a bad day, you are at the wrong place. If you are... Well I think you got the point; this movie won't tell you much, and that wasn't the point either!
In this flick Natalie Portman takes the role of Lena, an enthusiatic biologist, heartbroken by her, presumed KIA, husband.
One day, whilst painting her bedroom - in tears, her husband returns. His condition is bad, and even worse, he remembers nothing of his past 12 months away from his wife.
This is where the story takes of. Lena has to figure out what happened to her husband, and hopefully even cure his continually deteriorating condition. She soon figures out that the source of his ailment is perhaps even beyond her capabilites, and perhaps even beyond this world...
Whilst I dislike the evermore returning theme of the irrational behavior of cinematographical characters in present day films, the movie offers illustrious and vivid images, metaphors inviting thought, and an overall entertaining trip.
This is not a perfect film - I know - but it is great enough to take up your time a weekend evening, either alone (with a couple of beers - in my case), or with your friends/family.
Finally, watch this film with an open mind, and pay close attention. This is a film where details about the plot are presented from the beginning to the very end, and it is thus important that you don't look away even for just a couple of minutes, since this will likely make you look at the screen at the end thinking, "what the h*ck?!", like so many others.
