I never knew what emptiness sounded like until I heard the score of this film. Perfect cinematography. I wish I had the words to express how this film makes me feel.
a lot of people say they want certain song(s) played at their funeral.well, I want this movie played at my funeral.
I seem to recall this had a weak synposis (alternatively a completely spoiling one) and now there is none visible what so ever. A new one on the way? Re-watched it today at our local cinematheque and it's utterly spellbinding. Photo by Doyle + the subliminal soundtrack is to die for. God I love it.
Other-worldly atmosphere, everything fits perfect like puzzle pieces, music, colors, people, places, feelings. One of my favorite asian movies, I'd recommend it to anyone .
Vidas Truncadas it souns like nothing if you say, it´s a great film it just reminds me ahh somethig like ....nothing better name it by it´s name Last Life in the Universe
Was expecting more, some other approach to the subject, I guess. It's a good film, but I think it's a superficial view of such strong feelings as loneliness, alienation, detachment from society, love... I mean, I didn't share the pain with characters and that "comedy-moments" just worsened the film. It was very calm, and not so thoughtful as I expected.
a film that can just live with you. like a good friend. like rain outside of your window....
yes, it is beyond beautiful, since the D.O.P is, unsurprisingly, the awesome Christopher Doyle. But this is also beyond sloww, with a preposterous story, uninspiring repetitive score, and nothing to really said about. In a nutshell : an In The Mood For Love wannabe
this is beyond beautiful. the people of planet earth need more films like this.
Was expecting a lot from this film, considering it stars Tadanobu Asano and Takashi Miike, so it's my own fault that I was so disappointed. Some nice visuals, but has almost no depth to speak of.
A very calm and thoughtful work of art. The mix of strong plot along with performances full of character is so easy to relate to, yet at the same time so dreamlike in it's nature. It will leave you thinking and savoring every little detail.
