beautifully innocent yet so real

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2004)

i am not embarking on a cinematic critical review but would like to begin by saying that if a movie has left me with warmth of a feeling or the cold shiver of an emotion or simply any touching emotion i think the moviemaker would have more often than not met the objective quest. this movie is the tale of two souls of our times who are absolutely lost in swirling waters of life which throws up few real options amongst apparent myriad options. Hence we are often magnetically drawn to people purely circumstantially as we seek solace in another person who can resonate some of our feelings if not all. It also captures very well the fact that age does not really often impede connection of minds Bill Murray and Scarllet are literally the only actors in the movie and they have performed to a T the roles as conceived i guess by Sofia Coppola. But the element of greatness will be clearly the poignant scenes of separation. Separation is always painful and that pain can be redeemed .. see the movie to know how
