This is such a sad movie. The love between all the protagonists is so strongly realised on the screen by the way it’s shot, like a combination of Hitchcock’s Vertigo and Rear Window. A lot of people have complained about the structure, that leaves you wondering exactly what’s going on until a good half way through the movie. I thought it was a perfect way of drawing the audience in. And the ending came out of nowhere. Like Little Black Book, it demonstrates (to me at least) that the corniest of endings can work sometimes.

A beautiful movie I’ll review more in depth when it comes out on DVD. Hopefully I’ll watch the French movie it’s based on in the meantime.
