This movie saved my relationship

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2005)

ESOTSM is responsible for opening my eyes to some fundamental truths behind love and relationships. Namely, a relationship is more than the sum of its parts; love transcends the physical and that the definitions are entirely up to you and your beloved. This film seems to have serendipitously fallen together - a beautiful, accidental collision of an intense script, gorgeous cinematography, playful and creative design and editing, unique performances from some formerly typecast actors, and a wonderful score. This film gives back as much as it demands from the viewer, which few films do these days. Be prepared for some serious reflection. Thank god that surrealism has found a new and more relevant life in the hands of Michel Gondry. See this film alone and then see it with someone important to you... it might change your life.
