Beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (28 September 2013)

One of my favourite films. The colours, the scenes, the way the camera moves around a group conversation. The music fits the emotion of whats on the screen. Acting is excellent, storyline is well done and I love the unique way the film is narrated. I love the opening sequence, moving around the house, being introduced to the key characters, allowing the colour and music to begin to invade your senses. The interaction with the narrator early on in the film, pointing out the disaster that is about to hit the small island, gives speed and a feeling of impending doom to our two adventurers. I don't usually enjoy 'arty' films that much, but this one has a certain aspect to it that I can't put my finger on. The story come to a super ending when a number of different stories come together in a way that allows the viewer to appreciate the storyline for what it is. You don't watch this film, you enjoy and savour this film.
