The little things...

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2007)

I walked into this film with scepticism. The poster claimed it was a movie about pretty much every facet of human experience.
As you can see from my score, I was impressed.
From the opening scene to the soul-wrenching climax, this movie is an emotional trip. Romance, lust, horror, tragedy, comedy. It's all there and realised superbly.
The acting is excellent, the story is intelligent and the direction is tight, but for me the high point was the perfect selection of music for each scene (maybe just because I like Radiohead and REM) which pushes home the true emotion and beauty (sometimes tragic) in this grossly underrated masterpiece.
If you haven't seen it do. There is no other film I have seen like it.
