The Air I Breathe
2008
95 Min
Kevin Bacon, Forest Whitaker, Brendan Fraser and Sarah Michelle Gellar co-star in this Jieho Lee-directed drama that mines four basic human emotions — love, pleasure, sadness and joy — for cinematic inspiration. A banker discovers true happiness, a mobster finds hope, a celebrity sees life lose its luster and a doctor wrestles with matters of the heart that can’t be addressed within the confines of an operating room.
A quite pretentious movie with a poor orchestration: script surely has its interesting moments, but all is overwhelmed by that amateur approach that sadly makes the final result a bit pathetic. Anyway thinking on the fact it's a debut, Lee has got surely something to say. See him next time [?].
