beautiful cinematography and good editing covers up for the weak storyline

One of the most beautifully shot films of recent years. Elusive, mysterious, romantic but on in an obvious way. Shots get repeated but shown in different ways. Memories get interwined -- she has a daughter and a relationship with her former teacher, he is a simple workingman. Long shots provide even more beauty. It's like he says, he didn't choose to love her, he just loves her. It is just happening. And as she says, a lie told by a lover can become truth later.

It promises a good director. But this kind of juvenile romanticism is really not for me. A needy young man falls for the first woman that pays him some attention, confuses this with love, and right after he says the words, he adds "Never lie to me!" This is imposing and unhealthy, but the script insists on treating the obsessive male as romantic. Yeah, no from me.
