overdubbing of voices was terrible. What was up with the Matt Damon scene – they ran out of good angles and good audio??? yikes! A lot of annoying devices (upside down camera angles, electricity when he uses his powers, goofy “secret identity” montage).

all that said, I can’t help but be intrigued. This film has several layers that I desperately want to peel apart and see. I will probably watch it again.

Its a true masterpiece: A film that lets the viewer use their MIND as to the interpretation…. Beautifully shot, intensely acted. THis is perhaps one of the best films I’ve ever seen..

I loved Youth without Youth. It was a haunting experience for me.. I thought about this movie for days. It is about the power of love to transform. I feel one has had to have some living in time or real life experience in life to get beyond the obvious. It is a journey – take it and enjoy it.I did. I think this is a better film than almost any I have seen this year. I will nominate it for best picture.

Just saw the movie, and I have to say I liked it quite a bit. It was very different from what I was expecting, but I wasn’t disappointed. It certainly demands repeat viewings. To me, there was a lot of meaning packed within the movie; and I don’t think it would be fair to critique it(as has been done by some) from a purely linear and plot-based point of view. It’s just not that kind of story, and there’s no need for it to be that.

For one; it’s pretty metaphysical and references a lot of philosophy. For instance – in Indian philosophy; a person’s life can be broadly divided into three acts – the student, or the learner, the lover/family man – the continuation of life, and finally the monk, the sage, who gives up society to meditate on life. The movie moves through these three stages in Dominic’s life, in the beginning, as a rejuvenated student who’s able to “read” instantly, and who has to make choices on his future; as the lover who finds Laura/Veronica/Rupini; and finally as the man trying to finish his book and research on the origin of consciousness and humanity… I’m sure there are a lot more of these kinds of references in the movie that I didn’t see right away.

Hey Kraz,

I enjoy your reviews. Thanks for the good reads. As a HUGE Cohen Brothers fan, I’m wondering if you’ve had a chance to see “No Country for Old Men” yet. I always enjoy discussing their films. Thanks!
