Love X-ray of a couple

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2005)

I heard so much about this film but I just didn't have the chance to see it. The opinions were so different that I didn't know what to believe, should I watch it or not? Eventually, I did.
Did I like it? Yes.
It is a very different story about love. It does not stay at the 'and they were happy ever after' but goes into all the dirty details, excitement, depression, perversion, everything bluntly exposed.
In my opinion, despite the four characters, they are only two different sides of the same couple; on one hand, the tough couple - who follows their desires, does not hesitate in making compromises, shouts and bites, bleeds and fights but moves on, and the weak couple - who dreams, who hesitates in every decision, who weeps and feels remorse about everything.
I loved how each and every one of the actors played his/her part, and in particular, I loved Natalie Portman, who's grown into such a beautiful and charming woman, still keeping a lot of innocence in her face/eyes.
You wanna see a different story about what pretty much any couple goes through, don't hesitate to watch it all the way, it's worth it!
