Review of Heaven (2002) by Clinton G — 26 Dec 2007
A metaphysical treatise on individual morality, Heaven plays out more like a philosophical discussion than a logical plot progression. Replete with religious symbolism it question the morality of an individual vs its effects on society.
Cate Blanchett plays Philippa, a British teacher living in Rome. After the trauma of seeing one of her young students commit suicide, she plans a desperate act of terrorism. What could have easily been a didactic exercise in basic Judeo-Christian morality, one is forced to confront the idea that ones actions and the consequences of such don't always connect.
Easily one of the best films I've ever seen.
