5 Stars
A most beautiful, intriguing, and thought-provoking movie. No
fancy CGI, no adrenaline, just a beautiful movie that takes place, for the most
part, in what appears to be an old school. It is a 'way-station' where the
newly departed come for a week. They arrive on Monday, and are given until
Wednesday to think of their happiest, most beautiful, most precious memory
which is then filmed, and when they depart in a couple of days, they will have
this one memory to take with them for all eternity. This is a movie I would
like to own, and watch again. This movie ranks up there with Captain Abu Raed
and Poetry in my book. The only problem I had was the subtitles didn't show the
very bottom of the letters, but that may have been my fault, not the DVD's.
