Lovely movie with soft tones and good soundtrack

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2008)

I went to this movie with high expectations because of the overwhelming critics that I had read, and I must say it did fulfil my expectations - at least to quite some extent. The music is powerful, the emotions pure and natural, the handcamera is sometimes a little painful to watch (feeling like on a roller-coaster) and the romance theme works well as this is yet another movie where a love (or beginning love) remains unfulfilled. For my taste though, the beginning emotions should have been stressed a little more to make the end even stronger - as, for instance a movie like "Before Sunrise" has managed to do. Good piece of work though.
