An under-appreciated gem.

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 2015)

I can't think of sentences to describe this movie that don't include 'amazing.
The visual scenes are simply breathtaking - some of the best I've ever seen, which is impressive considering it's not even the main point of the film.
The acting is superb, with the two leads creating a romance I felt deeply.
The themes are pretty obviously metaphysical. It's about death, and facing up to death. It draws from a lot of places, but in its conclusions I'd say it's very Eastern Mysticism.
The loss that our hero faces (without spoiling anything) was devastating; the combined impact of the film left me deeply moved and I'll admit, feeling very sad. I guess you can't ask for more than that.
