Title: A Film for specific tastes
Review: Vincent Ward, I've discovered is the only director who can actually pull me into a romance movie. This and Map of the Human Heart actually get me on a pretty primal level.This film is an odd bird though, lots of people don't like it, claiming its too sappy and that lots of it just doesn't work. Ironically many of these same folks actually like Ghost, go figure.Anyway, the film is very pretty unforgiving I guess, in that you simply have to accept a certain package of ideas and relationships, and the film doesn't really reach out to help the audience do so. Storywise its Orphius in the Underworld, but that part of the story really is only the final act.It is a BEAUTIFUL film though and it makes an interesting trilogy with Ghost, and Somewhere in Time.
Is the review positive or negative?
