Review of Venus (2006) by Ynnej N — 11 Oct 2007

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie. I love the "goodbye" scene with Maurice and his wife, very short and subtle, but tells a life long story of failed marriage and neglect but without hatred nor forgiveness, just bland and almost like something conventional like everything else when life is drawing to a close.

this is something fresh when all the other movies are about a rise of a story, it is what happens long after "happily ever after." it is about two lost people who found each other, a MUCH MUCH more realistic version of "Lost in Translation", nothing glamorous nor exotic, just ordinary people who have a mixture of good and bad in them.

"passion sustains itself through all our lives and comes back even at the end in some odd, almost perverse way".
