Heart poured out all over

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2007)

I was given a recommendation by a friend to watch this movie. It was playing at the local Angelika, which I always like going to. I have seen quite a few foreign movies in that theatre and love it for the quality of movies they show almost always and undoubtedly this stands out for its impact it had on me. Its the level at which the movie is able to connect to you. Very deep, intense, thoughtful piece of art and spiritual at the same time and thats what makes it so different. I read it in one of the fact-o-files about the movie that the songs in the movie were intended to replace the need for lengthy dialogues. The feeling and the spirit and the positioning of the songs is able to do not just right, it takes it to a sublime level. Actually the movie lets you loose and at a certain time you feel convinced that for whatever reasons this movie is at a different plane and the set rules can very politely be ignored for making a comparison. I believe this is about the heart poured out and if you see this angle you will be able to leave aside all the critical nuances which one is quite often obliged to weigh a movie on. The songs are like meditation, raising the soul and you seem to get lost in them and I have listened to them every now and then and the impact keeps on growing. Definitely enjoyable and not just an ordinary musical. Not to be misunderstood as a chick flick.
