November 11, 2008This is soooooooooooooo incredibly French! Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have fantastic chemistry, the story is intriguing, the end is very French (there's no other adjective to describe it), and all in all, I love it.

August 10, 2008I seriously can't recommend this one highly enough, and I know a lot of people here aren't exactly taken in by the whole romance thing but please don't let that put you off.
I guess it could be described best as a romantic dark comedy so forgot your ashton kutcher, Ben Stiller Ro...( read more) -

Strangely frustrating, because Julien and Sophie choose misery and obsession as a lifestyle, and push far beyond reason. full review

Someday, when Samuell finds something to say, he may make a great movie. For now, he's only playing games. full review

April 19, 2008Thankyou Li.
I just rewatched the movie, and i ,love it even more than i did last time. The first time i watched it i was kinda confused at the end, and had to discuss it with a firend who happened to have also seen it, but this time, it was a lot easier, i could just take it in as what i thought it meant personally. Though I'm still not quite sure what i make of the flashback thing, no matter what it means it's beautiful.
further from what i said last time, i recon them being buried in cement is also a metaphor for how they see themselves, in their eyes they're always at that age they were when they finally got together, never aging, loving each other, and needing each other as much as they did after those ten yrs apart.
but thats just me. I love it no matter what it means -
December 5, 2007I like what Mardi said :]
Personally, I like to think of the cement as a metaphore..
And the part where they have flashbacks and remember everything always brings me to tears.

October 23, 2007I PERSONALLY LIKED THE PART WHERE THEY ARE BURIED IN CEMENT BECAUSE ITS WAHT THEY ALWAYS WANTED. THEY WANTED AN ETERNAL LOVE, BEING TOGETHER FOR THE REST OF THIR LIVES.

the ending is meant to be polysemic.
if you like the ending with them being buried in cement then the 'old fogie' stuff is like what they did in spirit after they died or what they thought they would be like when they wee old.
and if you like the ending with them growing old together, i think that the being buried in cement, was a metaphor for them being buried together and having the box placed in th cement on their plot.
but those are just my thoughts, and there are slight inconsitencies with both in my opinion -
May 22, 2007Love this film so much but will someone tell me whats the ending?! do they actually bury themselves together in cement in an endless love or are they old fogies cos im well confused and i seen it thousands of times!i actually hate the bit where they are 2 old fogies why is that bit there?and the part where it flashes back to them growin up and kissing is even more confusin cos it didnt all happen!help me please!
