This is one of the most magical metaphysical romance films ever made. The concept of true love, love at first sight, or a love that wakes you up and gives your life perspective and meaning that you had always believed was possible but you are starting to believe you will never find is explored in a beautiful visual and cognitive style. Venessa Redgrave deserved a best supporting actress award for her performance that provides the magic and intellectual cohesion behind the a movie that basically is about two people who leave their marriages to be together. For some that is a scary and morally reprehensible choice that largely accounts for this movie not being rated higher. But if true love is about honesty and wanting the best for your partner can you really want someone to stay in a marriage if they aren't fulfilled or miss the chance to be with their soul mates?
