Beautiful, lyrical and - unlike so many of its commercial brethren - this one actually has a story to tell. And it makes me want to rent every one of the director's films.
While I felt that Clive Owen was auditioning for Bond in this series of ads, I liked him a lot more here - a hint of character, backbone and story go a long ways... And I've enjoyed Forest Whitaker ever since he stole The Color Of Money from Tom Cruise and Paul Newman. But where that film never seemed to get going again after he left it, this one moves ahead nicely.
