A Love Story

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2016)

Before seeing this I heard several descriptions of it, to the effect that it's a movie about a hotel where single people go and if they don't hook up they are turned into animals.
That's the first 40 minutes, but it's not what the movie is "about," It's a love story. And it's full of strange allegories about relationships that - to me - are really little and larger vignettes about relationship status' and existential angst, and a sort of cynical social commentary about anthropology and societal judgement. In some ways you can enter this movie as though you're about to watch a series of skits about "coupling" and it will work pretty fine.
I thought the ending made a lot of sense along the above lines. What connects two people really isn't the point. The point is that they are - and remain - connected.
