Today I watched the movie as part of the festival Cinelibri in Sofia and I am quite sure that the film touched emotionally everybody in the theatre. I cried several times throughout the film.

It makes you ponder on the eternal questions for the point of living and the pursuit of happiness.

Genovese uses the music as another character in the movie giving it a critical role. Another intreseting fact is that some of the actors star also in other movies he has directed.

During the discussion in the movie theatre Genovese mentioned that he has on purpuse skipped to include in the film the first day of the lives of the characters, so this is something which differs the film from the book.

In conclusion: Definitely worth watching, psychological drama with a few comedy moment.

Four stories, or better to say five, can move you to think about your personal works in life and about your approach to the others. Wonderful photography and music in some way will refresh those tragic stories, that at start you won't see it as something without hope. Even in those several hours of that in some kind of the process of transition of the spirit to another world the moment of decision of all of four characters whether they are right or not will put them in the phase of dilemma, cause after making a crucial decision they won't get come back opportunity. Each of those stories will touch you emotionally, for sure, and move you also to think if they are a good persons and whether they have a way out if they deserve another chance. The message is clear, first think carefully before you decide to do something.
