Gripping story with well-crafted characters

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This movie falls into that group of initially obnoxious "coming of age" films that has numerous characters that have either zero understanding of what their life can offer them, or they have come to a complete understanding with the universe, and are happily content, but unwilling to offer the serious smack to the head that the others require. It takes a while to get anywhere, especially with the two main characters both completely blind to everything around them that isn't squarely in their plans for themselves. Naturally, for the viewer, it quickly becomes obvious that they are squandering great potentials, but the joy of this movies is in the journey, not the destination.Character development is the key here, not a grouping of pre-designed archetypes that are ready to hand you their life story and purpose in one single bit of dialogue. Especially noteworthy is the quirky uncle that seems hell-bent upon destroying anything of monetary value, but actually has himself firmly set upon his path to spiritual enlightenment. The siblings that are each trying to figure themselves out are equally good, although the viewer is generally ready to scream at them by the movie's midpoint.The bottom line is that this is not a casual movie to pick up when you don't have other plans, and are looking for "anything". Be prepared to pay attention to it and enjoy the entire movie, not just the beginning and the end. It demands that you follow the characters in just as befuddled a state as they seem to be, until you reach the end, and recognize the true genius of the trip.

The main characters in this movie can't seem to let go. Of their ambitions, their sorrows, or their perceptions of the way life should unfold. They all seem to be hung up on bygone expectations, missing out on potential happiness because they can't, or won't, be where they are while they're there. They are looking for a life that they don't yet realize they don't need, or want. The main character has abandoned his dreams a long time ago, as most in this film have to some degree, and is selfishly attempting to raise the money to buy an abandoned manganese mine. His uncle tries (in a way reminiscent of Andy Griffith) to force him to see what is right in front of his face. This movie has a dream like feel and it is hard to understand at first if you are not used to accents. One should not expect this movie to be action packed, but it is a heartwarming tale of a group of people trying to find their way through life, only to find it is not the epic and tragic journey they had once expected.

Although the editing and sound production were horrendous, the film stands as one of my favorite movies. The art direction, character development, acting, and the overall script were phenomenal. I would recommend this movie to everyone.

I rented this film for one main reason, because I am a fan of Rufus Sewell, what I ended up getting out of it is so much more than just a great performance by him, but a very good film. What I admired most about it is the way it was shot, it has very clever and yet simple camera moves. The plot sways between everyday realism, and the kind of chance some dream of. It was undeniably lovely, a gem. I have never felt that a movie deserved those terms more. It's a pity not that many people will ever get to see it, and even if they did, most wouldn't be able to appreciate it. It is full of easy to understand philosophical ideas and wit. Everything feels balanced out. All in all, I liked it. Go see it, it's worth it.
