Review of My Blueberry Nights (2007) by Justin K — 18 May 2010
First and foremost, who would ever have guessed that Norah Jones is really pretty devent as an actress on top of being an incredible musician and vocalist? Some people end up with all the talent! I really loved My Blueberry Nights.
It is atomophesic and poetic. The story and dialog could be absolute crap and the film would still be a pleasure to watch. The visual style is incredible. Kar-Wai creates the sort of places that are familiar, but makes them special, mysterious.
We have all been in a cafe, but not one quite like one Law governs. Ultimately it seems like the story is more driven by the characters and emotion than it is by the story. This is something I really appreciate, plus the story is pretty simple.
The story does not matter that much, the important part is the ride. Everybody has a story, everybody is broken in some way. Most of the time, it is other people who cause the pain, but the glorious thing is that it is other people that bring every character in the film, and really every one of us, back to life.
