A melancholy masterpiece!

Heartbreaking, haunting and beautiful; often all at once. The central performances from Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weiss are magnificent. And the film itself was an absolute pleasure to behold - HD-DVD really does it justice - and was a massive improvement on what I saw at the cinema.

:p

I have to wonder why my take on it is so different this time around. There are a few factors - easiest is that the cinema presentation undermined the film. Then there are my friends - I guess their opinion sways me more than I realised. And then there is the film - I tried to decipher it on the first screening - this time I simply let it unfold and not read into it beyond the central story of the scientist, his dying wife and her book...

This film just moved up into my top 20!
