I'm aware of the fact that not everyone is going to enjoy this movie.. it's not about "getting it" or not.. it's about a certain sensibility.. you have to be receptive to it. If you are able and willing to get lost in the movie's atmosphere you'll certainly love it. I loved it. I must admit this is one of my favorite love movies, maybe the one best of all, I have ever watched. I consider myself a twin flame. I cried after watching it. I felt so together with my twin flame who I am living separate from. Love conquers all :')
Ok back to the review, Alex Kruz's poetic love story captured me throughout and even after the film. I ended up looking up his other works such as short "Parivara" which was also poetic and captivating.
The content and the form of this love story overlap perfectly for those who enjoy a good love story as well as are open to the sci-fi genre. The trailer says its "based on a true story" which made me look up some of his interviews. He is basically a quantum scientist who had done all sorts of experiments on how interconnected and quantum entangled people in love, but more specifically those who identify as "twin flames" are. I think thats an interesting premise to make a film after all of your scientific experiments for something you are exploring are not conclusive. I think this film is his way of filling that gap. Interestingly enough, the last two Nobel prize winners (2022, 2023) were for experiments which proved quantum entanglement, this guy was the runner up.
OK, back to the art in art house. Beautiful camera angles and the colors makes the feelings and their togetherness even touchable. Also the music defines the sadness of the love which plays along the beautiful slow motion frames and shows the characters together in their absence.
From the films that I review, I found myself watching this one more than twice just to see what I missed from the first two times. Maybe I'm obsessive, but I think that says a lot. Like when you have a book you love, and you want to read it again and again because you love how it makes you feel. It touches a nerve which a lot of the media nowadays doesnt.
