Just saw the film "Heaven". It was euphoric and ego-drowning in a way that was not sick or disturbing-- you know those films I'm talking about-- sick and disturbing for us-- coke candy for looters and moochers. Like "Grizzly Man". Where you end up becoming obsessed with story and characters to the degree that it is disruptive to your life. Bad dreams, constant confusion regarding the dilemma of evil and human nature and their complex, projecting domino effects.
No, "Heaven" was redemption in a non-depressing way, in an aesthetically-pleasing manner, with a particularly beautiful ending of hope and triumph and sheer coolness. Freedom and the human spirit shine, and you can't help but think that helicopters don't fly that high, but who cares? They do in "Heaven". Giovanni and Cate made magic together. Loved it. 10 stars.
