... View MoreAlthough Cate Blanchett and Gio Ribbisi do competent acting in "Heaven", the movie's premise quickly starts to pull the movie down. Here we're supposed to believe that a school teacher can somehow turn bomber on the idea that a politician/drug-dealer is single-handedly responsible for ruin in her life and school system, and that alone fuels her murderous intentions. It doesn't hold weight for character motivation at all. Meanwhile Ribbisi's character is believable, but the situation becomes down-trodden and clichéd - and the storyline simply throws in the towel towards the end giving up. It is more interested in conveying mood than content. "Heaven" isn't a dud, but a sensationalized romance trying to somehow come across as original in which it fails.
... View MoreI am a great fan of Cate Blanchett which seems unable to be less than superb lately, and this film is no exception. She radiates an interior beauty that is equal only to Katharine Hepburn's in her best years. Her presence in a film is enough reason for me to like it.Tom Tykwer's 'Heaven' gives however more reasons of satisfaction. It starts like a crime story with a British teacher in Italy killing four people while trying to revenge the death of her husband. While under questioning for the crime a young policeman falls in love with her, and here the movie turns into one of the most beautiful love stories I have seen later. The younger man will help her escape against any logic but the logic of love. The unavoidable end is superb, reminding Arthur Penn's 'Bonnie and Clyde'.The movie is also a testimony of the talent of the great Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski who wrote the script, and maybe intended to make the movie. Certainly, a movie of Kieslowski would have looked different, but the result here is not bad at all either.
