A beautiful love story set in a troubled future
30 January 2006
It's 2021 and earth is in trouble, experiencing weather anomalies and a reduction in the force of gravity. People are literally dropping dead in the streets from a "heart disease" that is the result of loneliness or the absence of friends and loved ones. John (Joaquin Phoenix) is meeting with his estranged wife, Elena (a famous figure skater) to get their divorce papers signed. He soon realizes that something is wrong; his wife is in danger. Johns goes into protector mode and as the two of them elude those who would harm her, their love is beautifully rekindled.

I loved this movie even though it made me sad. I don't think one viewing is enough since some of its subtleties escaped me. But I got the gist (it really is all about love) and will not minding watching it a few more times to figure it out. The performances of Claire and Joaquin make that worthwhile and rewarding.
