I tried

Rating: Null/10 (11 October 2002)

I tried to like it, i really did... but a second viewing just seemed to confirm my original opinion
Sure, the music and photography were ok but thats just not enough. For one i didnt really get in touch with the characters. Julie's character staring every so soften in de camera didnt get me any further. And then the symbols: after a while i started thinking: ok ok you dont have to shove 'blue' down my throat all the time. And what's with the fluteplayer, the swimmingpool, the mice... give me a break will ya. Did the reqiem get written? Who cares... at the end of the film that subject just got dropped. The theme is interesting though: the dead of someone leaving close relatives/friends puzzled. Somehow i think it could have been a lot better.
The film resembles 'la double vie de veronique' (wich i liked) too much: the music, mirrorlight, meeting in the cafe, the main character being a lone woman,...
But dont get me wrong though: i like kieslowski; i've only seen a few of his films, but 'short film about love' is already one of my favourite movies, if not my number one.
