Five of the most unusual love films
for Valentine's Day
"TO THE WONDER"
(TERRENCE MALIK, 2012)
They are together, but separate, so close and so far away. Marina and Neil love each other, but do not understand. She longs for feelings, and he is so cold. What to do? The heroes rush about, but their emotions are hidden from the viewer, and nature itself speaks for them: they worry and the wind appears, when they are happy, they see the serene sky, hear the rustle of green foliage, but summer gives way to autumn - the pain comes. Nature in the picture - this is not a silent observer of a couple, it seems that this is love with ups and downs. What will you see?
"TABU" / "TABU"
(MIGUEL GOMESH, 2012)
Fate separated them, but they loved each other all their lives. Aurora and Ventura, two lonely souls who float on waves of memories of each other. Each of them - their own life, but it does not seem to belong to them, because the heroes are like small particles of one whole. The only thing that remains for them is it is to live in the past. In the black and white atmosphere of silent cinema (but in the spirit of modernity), a story about a dream is revealed that can destroy the gray days and brighten up lonely evenings. She gives hope and faith in the best, but isn't that the most important thing?
"LOVE" / "AMOUR"
(MICHAEL HANEKE, 2012)
Love is lifelong. Do you think these are fairy tales? Not at all. Georges and Anne are in their eighties, but they continue to take care of each other. The main character falls ill and life gradually fades away in her, and the man does not leave her, supporting a ray of light, albeit weak, but a ray of light. Most of all, he does not want to give her to a nursing home, which their daughter insists on. Seems like what's special about this story? But behind a simple plot, there is a deep and life story about tenderness and respect that you need to try to preserve.
"LAST LOVE ON EARTH" / "PERFECT SENSE"
(DAVID McKENZIE, 2011)
They thought that their ligature was fleeting, but they were wrong. In a world where all people suddenly begin to lose the ability to feel, Michael and Susan understand that they cannot live without each other. The heroes hold on to the thin thread of their relationship when everything around them collapses. Will they be able to keep their love and what will happen when all emotions die?
"PUZZL OF LOVE" / "PUZZLED LOVE"
(MARCEL BORRAS, 2011)
She is an exchange student from Chicago, he is from Mallorca. They are like two different planets, and their passionate love unites, but it lasts only 13 months, while the studies are going on. What should they do next: forget each other or keep the relationship? The heroes create their own complex puzzle of feelings from pieces of different experiences, which is so difficult for them to unravel. Could you?
