I've loved you so long (Il y a longtemps que je t'aime)

08年三月就上映的法语片，今年三月这里才有放。zz些imdb的comments
This movie succeeds in presenting believable characters through
life-like dialogs and superior acting. Despite its heavy emotional
load, it never degrades into a tear-jerker. Perhaps it makes a
difference whether you are a parent yourself as a viewer, I could not
tell, but after returning home, I did feel like giving the kids a
loving cuddle. This movie will linger for a while in my mind. It seems
to me that Philippe Claudel is not just a very observing novelist, but
also a good director, capable of a lot of empathy with the human
condition. Anyone looking for light entertainment should stay out of
the movie theater where this movie is playing, but if you are
interested in a subtle emphatic presentation of characters, you should
not miss this.


Looking at Kristen Scott Thomas I thought of Julie Christie, Ingrid
Bergman, Helen Mirren, Liv Ullman and a number of other actresses that
managed to be transparent on the screen. Transparent in the best sense
of the word, meaning we could actually see the invisible. Scott Thomas's
performance is among the very best I've seen all year.
