Pointless, 2-dimensional, yet aims to be somehow deep

Rating: 3/10 (10 January 2008)

Superficially, this movie concerns two lovers: one of whom is dying, but accepts her death, and the other who desperately tries to prevent it.
Unfortunately, the above summary is a complete description of their characters - that's it, there's nothing else there. While the viewer sees various scenes depicting these two, there are no moments in which they deviate from this narrow focus.
The movie is full of beautiful symbolism - its sole redeeming factor. However, the beautiful symbolism does not make insightful. With characters as shallow as the two leads, the movie inevitably fails distill any meaning from it's many "dramatic" moments.
Watch this movie if you didn't know death is difficult, and not just for the one dieing. Ignore it otherwise - it's just an over-the-top art project without any insight.
