One of the best love stories in this century.

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2008)

I watched this film at Skopje Film Festival '08 and it was one of the best that this year's festival offered to the Macedonian audience in Skopje.
I'll try to explain a couple of things.
At first, it is very slow at times, be prepared for that. That's the only minus i can think of in this movie. I think a few scenes could be left out and the movie wont lose anything at all. But if you know the history of great love stories on film, you know that the most of them are long flicks: Titanic, English patient etc. Which is understandable considering the fact that the viewers will get to know more of the main characters so it would be easier to feel the things the characters feel.
You'll feel sad but satisfied at the end of this movie. You'll enjoy Keira's performance, her best till now & she is beautiful in the movie, although she would be much more attractive with a few kilograms more :).
The performances were great, i cannot say who was better or worse, all were convincing. The original music score is one of the best i've heard in a while capturing the emotions in the movie and creating the atmosphere when needed.
The movie works as a whole and it's rewarding once the credits roll down. I think that this film is one of those where "the sum is better than the parts".
Some that read the book may not like it as much as me(i didn't even know that there is a book) but as a movie it is a great piece of cinema and i recommend it to everyone that looks for quality stuff in every aspect of the art of cinema.
