I was happy to see some good physicality between the characters. I think the actors did a good job, especially the female lead. It's a powerful message, if a little depressing.Īll in all, though, this was a good exploration of the human condition. It is the memory of this intoxicating love that will cradle us as we're delivered into the bosom of death. So really that sweet, intoxicating love we all want to experience can only last for a lifetime in our memories and what this film imparts on us is that it's better to experience that love and end it while you're still on a high rather than let it wane from the onset of familiarity. If you leave one partner for another just to experience the high of being in love, eventually you'll end up back where you started with the same irrational need to begin the process all over again. To not chase that high is to commit yourself to a life of probable unfulfillment and what ifs, and to chase it would be like chasing a rainbow. So where does that leave us? Pretty much between a rock and hard a place. But it's impossible to attain both at the same time, with the same partner for the long haul. When it comes to matters of the heart, we want security and stability, but also a constant supply of that heady rush of new love, of being in love and seeing the stars in our lover's eyes.
