Quite easy to watch. I wouldn't say to someone that this is a must watch but i wouldn't tell them to avoid it either. I would have preferred it if the whole film had been subtitled rather than switching intermittently to English language.
I agree with the previous review. The Icelandic and Japanese subtitles were so small they were illegible to anyone with anything less than 20/20 vision. Otherwise I loved it3.
What a beautifully acted, shot film
This is a love story that leads us through covid times & back into memories of a long lost lover set in 1970's London. The main character lead is brilliantly acted as a shy young student falling in love big time. It's understated, the attention to detail & quality of cinematography feels strongly rooted in a partiular genre of European film tradition: unhurried , where detail is deliberate & thoughtful in script, acting & cinematography.
A recognition that the spaces inbetween what is not said hold wieght & significance throughout this gentle determined quest in frail health /old age to find a past lover.
I enjoyed every second!
