Directorial debut of Celine Song and exquisitely shot by Shabier Kirchner film of the year for me for many reasons....not least the beautifully calm camera work.....no special effects, no stunt people, no 'establishing' aerial drone shots, no cranes, no crazy edits......camera on sticks and a couple of shots with the camera on rails and thats it....chapeau.....AND a film that shows how beautiful 35mm film is.....if you are of the sensibility that loves films like 'In the Mood for Love' and Coppola's 'Lost inTranslation' this one is for you....

Sorry been busy! hahah 

Thanks for sharing tho, I'll have to dig it up and watch. 

I think love stories in general, no matter how good they are, can be tropeish and many aren't exited about them. 

But hey, I'm willing to give most things a chance, especially if they're pretty. ?
