last nite i left a msg on broadway cinema's forum. juz now i found a reply~ the film i was looking for was called "Eternity and a Day"(1998). it's by Theo Angelopoulous. claudie also agreed with me that the title of the film was really beautiful~ "The film is stunningly beautiful: visually, it is a masterpiece." "What had been a realistic work, lyric but realistic, slides into ostentatious symbolism." "A gorgeous elegy of a film." i've juz downloaded the theme. c if i can find the vcd. -- Eternity And A Day traces the final days of Alexandre (Bruno Ganz), a celebrated Greek writer as he prepares to leave his seaside home forever. While packing, he finds a letter from his long-dead wife, Anna (Isabelle Renauld), who wrote about an enchanted summer day they spent thirty years ago. From that point, Alexandre embarks on a mystical journey through his past and present. Realizing that after spending his entire life chasing after the words of poems and novels, Alexandre wants one final chance to capture the lost precious moments of true happiness, even if only for one day. -- |
