An Amazing Film...

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2004)

This is an amazing film, and I very much admire its simplistic design.
This is a movie about `the encounter' between a man and woman nine years after they first met and have fallen in love. The maturity and chemistry between the main characters are incredible. The conversations, a major component of the film, are real and spontaneous, thanks to Richard Linklater and Kim Krizan's wonderful script. The entire film focus on the two main characters (Jesse and Celine), and the camera switches between them. Most of the shots are long and close, which makes the audience feel that they are actually in the scene with them. This really tests the acting skills of the cast, who pulled off wonderfully.
Highly recommended.
