A Beautiful Something

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2006)

You know why people love this film. Its not its technical brilliance, its not its throwback to the golden musical age of Hollywood. Its supporting characters extremely poorly written and many of the stylistic experiments don't quite work out. But why then is it worth watching time and time again? Its the closest we can see on a screen this far to true love being shown on screen. Its able to bring out the Bohemian in even the most cynical among us and though as a piece of cinema it may not go down as the greatest work it undeniably is a beautiful artwork of some kind and must be remembered as such so that we don't forget just why we continue to listen to silly love songs.
