super collection of "love" cross-sections

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2003)

Fantastic movie brings out all the things that go right and go wrong with love, including how high the stakes can be. Beginning with a view of airport arrival scenes, it puts the world in the lens of love and offers everyone something to think about, because almost any situation is represented in short narrative... even a child's first love. More honest than most screen portrayals and cleverly done with outstanding acting, it barely falls short of a masterpiece and certainly ranks as worthwhile viewing for almost anyone, anytime. Filmed as an apt countdown to Christmas, it would also work for other times of the year. This giant collage of filmmaking about relationships captures a lot of possibilities, potentials and pitfalls.
