A visual film that would be a delight even if it were on mute

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2014)

Let me tell you something, when a film stands up on it's own it doesn't need it's dialogue. Hitchcock said this: "Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms." So here we have it and need I say more? This film is a film lovers film, truly using the medium of image over the stage's preferred medium of sound. To top it off it has a great sound track, which adds tone and mood. The film is told by the eyes, the scenes and what is not said. It deals with age old human issues like loss, love and the want to be included and to be useful. Also it deals with true human emotion, in that Ryan's character truly gives himself to a cause for a reason that is not vane nor self centred. I will stop there because I don't want to include any spoilers!
