Rewarding if you get into the slow intense tempo of the narrative between 2 contradictory lovers. Rilke: 'Beauty & terror are similar.'
Pretentious but cool. Ahead of its time. Reminds me of Eternal sunshine of the Spotless mind for some reason.
Absolutely beautiful movie in a very haunting way- even just the first 15 minutes are a work of art.
Beautiful and eerie cinematography, pretty straightforward plot but presented in a thoughtful way
As much as mediation on memory and the past as it as a story of a doomed romance. The opening 15 minutes are mesmerizing.
Breathtaking. A poem about all the tragedies in the greatest tragedy. Works both with personal emotions and collective memory.
This movie is so so so so so so good and everyone in this film is soooo beautiful
Way more avant garde than i expected but there is some incredible imagery and symbolism in this film
A beautiful film which manages to avoid being pretentious through it's focus on the characters' emotions and it's innovative storytelling
Beautifully fragmented series of memories during a conversation between a French woman and a Japanese man.
