This is so beautiful and heartbreaking. The last scenes made me cry.

Thank you, festividder! I just watched this an embarrassing number of times. :) I like your focus on the relationship the film initially obscures, and all the fresh visual and thematic parallels you find there. I also love the image you end on, which is doubly arresting because of all that's led up to it. And I really want to watch The Hours now.

This is intense, gorgeous and moving -- heartbreaking, and the editing is mesmerising.
