Beauty and perfection

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2008)

To say it straight away ...
I can't remember a movie before Atonement to picture such a broad spectrum of the human soul in one single movie, and yet is every aspect portrayed with such detail and beauty.
In this movie everything seems explained; guilt, love, sorrow, hate, hope ... crime, war, peace ...
The direction was really impressive, the cinematography just beautiful, the soundtrack was perfect, the sound editing thrilling. I don't want to give everything away, but if you see this movie, is hard to look at the movie itself, because there are all those perfect details in direction ...
As for the ending ... I guess some will love it as the whole movie, some (including me) will find it "inapropiate" to the movie, stealing a bit of its beauty!
