Terrence Stamp is once again spectacular in his role. The chemistry between him and Vanessa Redgrave is quite moving.
This is a great ensemble of lovely actors, depicting a simple, fragile but utterly beautiful situation. There are wrongly rooted stubborn opinions in all of us. We get carried away by the bitterness over time. It is only when we manage to "leap over our own shadow" that we remember to cherish and celebrate life as it comes.
Sure, the story is very predictable, there's nothing new world changing in there, nothing that we haven't seen before in some other way. The story is heavy. No matter how one puts it, it is not easy to be reminded of ones mortality. Most of us have lost beloved people and all of us will have the same fate. It is however the beautifully interwoven humor and humility in this urban movie that makes it all a little lighter.
