Review of Time to Leave (2005) by Ws W — 13 Oct 2009

To me, [Time To Leave] perhaps is the greatest motion picture Francois Ozon has ever made, so far. Ozon is clever enough not to put this movie into the melodrama category. Romain- a cocky, egoistic, dyeing man chooses to hide his diagnosis from his family & his other half, except his aged grandmother (who is facing death as well); he tries to understand death before dying; meantime he also tries replenishing the cracking relationships surrounding during his numbered days- regardless it turns out to be working or not eventually.

The ending sunset scene is subtle but way too sentimental & enchanting.
