Fresh and Exciting

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The movie is well shot and seems to be quite acceptable even for wartime romance. Unfortunately it is way too long and leaves strange bitter aftertaste in the end. It somehow starts in nowhere and leads to nowhere. I like the scenery and quite realistic portrayal of the era. The action scenes are, how to describe, weird. They somehow fail to reach their climax. I have hard time to figure out that the first girl has died for example. In one scene hero speaks with her, then she leaves. After that I can hear some sound on background. Then we see some wreckage and hero reads some poetry or something over the grave. Only some scenes after the hero explicitly says "she died". Was it landmine? Was this attack from the enemy? The same happens in the end of the movie. Was the heroine killed? Was she mutilated? Did she try to explain the partisans she worked for intelligence? If not, why? What has actually happened? I have no idea. I do not like the stories "open", I do not like "guessing", especially in that long movies. Very unsatisfying.

I always liked movies movie about mafia, war, si-fi. But this movie is something else, first i thought that it is boring romantic movie, which are very populary in these days. But believe me this movie is not boring always is something happening. It almost make my cry. But i am a grown man!!! This is the most unhappy story of one couple which meet each other at collage, and ended a lot years latter, when they are not young, full of life like on start. It ends really tragically, and they can't start all over. :( What a sad story, today they live in dream spending all time together, living in nice part of Paris, having fun. But tomorrow they are in war, sacrificing for each other and thinking about past days, and about love which she never told him what does she feel.. This movie must be in top 250!!! Everything is perfect! If don't now should you watch it, i say you must watch it, but you will feel very sad for about 5 days!

My sense of disappointment with this film is probably due to the fact that I actually bought the DVD without ever having heard of the movie before. That isn't something I would generally do, but, when I read the back of the DVD and saw that the movie swept across western Europe taking in the Spanish Civil war as well as the Second World War, I was intrigued. Also, I did only buy it second hand. There really should be more happening in a film that stretches across such a momentous epoch in Europe's history. Charleze Teron steals the show and her character is the only one in the movie who really develops. Stuart Townsend is hopeless as the male lead trying to tame Teron's character's wild spirit. Penelope Cruz puts in a solid performance as a lame dancer and does not deserve the ignominious death her character suffers. This movie really falls between two stools. It tries to be a war epic and a love story, but ends up being neither. Charleze Teron's performance is the only thing that saves it from total disaster. Worth renting but definitely not one to add to the collection.

I think this movie is a good film although the end of film wasn't perfect. If you love Charlize Theron , You can find her in many different scene and shaping! Head In The clouds is a romantic drama set in 1930's England,Paris and spin.... I think the score of this film in IMDb isn't true and it should be about 7 - 8.5 I type the note that written about this film: In a city of glamour at a time of decadence they met, a soldier of conscience, and an entertainer. Together they shared a deep passion. In this film also Penelope Cruz and Stuart Townsend Had very good match with their character.Three Lives....One Destiny.
