Review of Everything Is Illuminated (2005) by Nhungl. — 26 Feb 2008
The movie is soooooo brilliant - it really touches my emotions without using sentimental scenes and language. Its pace is slow with soft music, which gives me a feeling of sadness and gloominess. At first, I was amused by Alex's family, but then deeply absolved in their serious and mysterious adventure.
The movie achieves a lot without telling too much, just silence, music and beautiful scene. The view of the woman's house in the middle of a sunflower field is soooo fanciful. Those who think that Jonathan's trip ends up nowhere should rewatch the movie.
In the end, Jonathan finds Trachimbrod and gains much more - not just lost family memories.
