Did not see the first part of the movie, but the cable guy showed up and restored my IFC and this movie was playing.
The 4 word title describes it well. For those who appreciate poeticism and an only loosely linear plot line that serves as a framework for larger things, then you will enjoy this movie.
Thank you to those who made the film for choosing acting ability and realism over rigid and sterile glamor. It's hard to explain what I mean by that, but the actors and the settings pull the viewer into the story. You feel like you're the person with the cameras -- your eyes -- acting as a shadow to the protagonist's life. You feel privileged to be witness and to allow the emotions the characters feel wash through and into you.
The passages of prose read throughout the movie blur the line that often demarks the transforming of a novel into a film. I'm not even sure if it was a book first, and if it wasn't, it had the feel of it.
The liner notes on the IFC info screen on the TV said that Arliss Howard, the protagonist, and Debra Winger, the female lead, are married, and Arliss also directed.
Wonderful acting. Great locations. Well edited. Have Kleenex handy.
