This is pure art, this is pure cinema. I love this movie.
Technically speaking, it's as stellar as the emotional aspect of this film. The cinematography and set design is beautiful. The city feels like a living breathing person full of colour and life. The daylight scenes in this film are gorgeous to look at. It's a feast for our eyes.
The camera feels like a character, a person, showing us these events in real time. Letting us see them in their moments of happiness, and in their moments of despair. It cuts between real-time and flashbacks to show how Theo (main character) is reminiscing over his relationship with his ex-wife Catherine. How it all seems jolly at first, but then the film cuts to the present, contrasting it with a comparatively much bleaker tone.
This is great art because it made me "feel". I felt happy, sad, surprised, turned on, warm. It made me feel like a real person. The characters work for me, because they are flawed people. It touches on the complexities of human life perfectly. We're not perfect, and sometimes we make the wrong decisions. We're imperfect, make mistakes, are jerks and can be apathetic. But it also focuses on the positive. Such as, how we can be caring, empathetic, worried, loving and empathetic.
It reminded me of what it truly feels to be "Human." It defined the essence of humanity that didn't need exposition, or needed to be spoon fed to the audience. What I personally took from the film is that, humanity is about people, and accepting those people into our lives despite their flaws. It made me want to be a better person.
After experiencing this piece of art, it made me want to sit next to my friend, and talk to them about life. All the good and bad things about it. Made me want to connect with other people. Connect with humanity. It made me want to take a camera, and shoot something, anything. It really changed me.
I know I'm not talking about the "film" so much, but more about how it affected me. But that's what I wanted to talk about. How can anyone not love this movie? It's the kind of film that reinforced my love for "cinema." Cinema really is the greatest art form. (according to me)
As you might already know, I love this movie. This is an emotionally vulnerable review, but i needed to get this out. If you haven't watched this film yet, please do. It's realistic in terms of the reality of life. It's lonely and painful and relatable. We can project ourselves onto the characters of this film, and watching it makes us feel, a little less lonely.
Thank you for reading.
