Bold but lame!

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2007)

A trip from the most barbaric culture to the spiritual earth seeking the immortality for the sake of the same woman over the centuries. Movie has genuinely interesting idea, but never goes beyond the limits. Fate is always the winner and rebellion against it, is just the endeavors in vain. He struggles to save her life taking interesting journeys to learn the deepest aspects of the universe through self-mastery but I could never feel the touch of a super-fantastic love story. What was the motto? All the doors are closed, so just live it, do not push? There is no challenge respecting the story but very challenging in the way it is shot. Every scene is like a work of art reflecting the virtual travels. The director embarked upon a very hard-work in picturing a mind absorbed in meditation as he let us enter the minds of the characters in Requiem for a dream. Very good regarding the cinematography and the core elements but not supported by the followings in the end.
