Saw this at the CineManila Int'l Film Festival last year. I loved it! One of my favorites... it has this charm that really appealed to me.

The first film for quite a long time that I've seen in cinema twice, I couldn't resist. Well-deserved Frog at Camerimage Festival. Remarkable feast for eyes.

Wow. That's really the best piece of cinema I've seen all year. I mean, I've seen better movies, but as cinema -- and especially as a contribution to the artform as a whole -- this film has a considerable sum to offer. The cinematography was spot-on and consistantly creative without becoming too obstrusive (for my tastes). The pace flagged a bit in the middle, definately, the it opened and closed very, very strongly. I couldn't be more pleased with the novel way that the subject matter was handled. Everything was made to feel fresh and vibrant, as if it really were the first love story ever filmed. I think many critics were thrown by the heavy and convoluted use of film grammar -- they mistook over-articulateness for "coolness". Okay, sure, it's a pretentious and stylish film (to which I might add, with sarcastic glee, all films should have some pretense and some style, wink wink). Which is a shame, since this was a deeply felt and very moving experience for someone comfortable with such things. As for Lisa Nesselson's absurd review written for 'Variety'... does she honestly expect filmmakers to stay away from tackling the theme of love simply because it's been done before? It cracks me up when critics say these things... a movie is bad because it's the second movie about the most important thing in human life: love. Remind me to cancel my subscription to 'Variety'. Recommended.

This was one of my favorite films at the Seattle Film Festival this summer. Beautifully made, and a delight to watch.
