Oh, this is one infamous film. To me it is not so much about love, but obsession, and at it's end it leaves nothing but an expression of cynical nihilism. This was more sad to me than the self-destructive characters peopling the created world.

Intimate, hilarious, tragic, honest, intense, breathtaking cinema -- which I still think would work better as a novel, and indeed it is based on one.
wow! both the main actor and actress deserved an award for outstanding performance.. they really make this movie comes alive.. although the story was kinda crazy, I was totally attracted with the performance towards the end of it.. definitely deserved an oscar!
