Love (I) (2011)
3/10
Nothing to do with love

Warning: Spoilers
Im giving this three but I'm not sure why even that high a rating. With the awards and all the festivals and the fact that its called "Love" I had some hopes this would be interesting, inspiring, touching on some divine message. It didn't. This ends up looking like pretentious crap, and like a long music video. It feels to me like its a film for intellectuals. In other words people with no spiritual understanding of life or real appreciation for what love really is. This film did nothing for me. It doesn't go anywhere. It deliberately vague in an attempt to provoke an awe of mystery. It doesn't. this technique is supposed to make the viewer think, "oh I don't get it I guess I'm just not cleaver enough to understand the profound message in this film". But that is a deceptive and contrived attempt that falls over easily because there's really nothing there in the end. This film lacks heart. I think thats the real problem here.. the director is one of the many automatons on this planet who don't lack intelligence but lack real empathy and a connection with a higher spiritual knowledge. Just my opinion.
