    Visual concept was interesting, in only seeing from the main character's point of view, but the storyline fell a little flat.

    The film title and the cover may seem awkward. But this picture is much more than just a character in love. The ways in which the film is presented is unique. Although we never see the main character, we can feel his emotions through his words and his eyes.
    I strongly recommend ...( read more)this film to people who want to experience a different style of filmmaking.

Certes, la caméra fixe, c'est bien beau, mais on...( read more) s'attend en quelque sorte à un peu plus de mouvement pour illustrer l'émotion vive ressentie par Thomas au moment où il confronte Déesse Amour. Bref, très intéressant comme film.

    A fresh cinematic approach. A claustrophobic film not suited for all audiences.
