been done any better! WATCH This Tonight!

explained , you could almost believe you are watching a documentary about a real-life couple. The characters are imperfect on an individual level, but this adds to the realism. The farm owner lends a bit of comedic relief, more so if you've been to Italy and have been given an insight into their type of humour.The music is moody, simple, and effective, and there are times you don't realise music was on in the background until it stops, and is enveloped but brooding silences.The cinematography is excellent, and I am sure that if you watched this movie more than once as I am tempted to do! , you will no doubt spot details you missed the first time round.

picturesque locations, shot in sunny Italy, didn't hurt either. Spring is a finished product and whether you prefer indie movies or not. I suggest you don't do too much research and just go watch it yourself. Highly, highly recommended.

watch movies.

were sprinkled throughout the film and delivered with just the right amount of wit and depth by both actors. It really is a wonderful blend of romance and sci-fi, and this is coming from someone who loves sci-fi and has a pathological fear of chick flicks. I highly recommend it.

deep for its own good or a jumbled mess. Spring manages to balance everything: you have beautiful characters you can sympathize with, a story that allows you to explore the beauty of nature and sunsets in Italy and crap like that as well as the feelings and experiences of the characters, some strange stuff to give it a little spice.No need to describe the plot to you. As one of the characters says in the end "destinations are overrated" and I think it was a line expressing the desire of the writer to make a story that you can enjoy without it having to reach some climax. Personally I thought the ending was kind of cheap, the only thing worse being the scenes with the stupid American guy. But, hey, love conquers all, right? No need to think of what the other person gives up for you. Heh.Bottom line: a very visually pleasing film, well directed and shot, well acted, with an original story. It is kind of long, though, at almost two hours, giving it a kind of slow pace. Also, if you do not appreciate the small things in it, the ending is not going to make you like the film any more than the middle.

bored.Movies that start like this can develop in works that make you feel like hell for 2 hours and then leave you with nothing. So, I started doubting whether this movie was going to be too much "slice of life".But then...You are rewarded for putting up with harsh reality.When the main characters are introduced to each other this movie changes. The dialogue is fascinating. The plot is introduced quickly yet gently, and completely sucks you in.You're on a creepy ride which you think might break down at any moment...But it doesn't. The movie really keeps momentum and leaves you with a satisfying experience.The characters are fleshed out well and the "horror" part eases in smoothly.All in all, I would watch this movie again just to see my loved ones react to it. Watch this movie, and be positively surprised, you have just found yourself a little gem.

explained in detail, you frown and instantly you think "What the f*ck was that ?". I admit that the whole metabolic explanation went over my head the first time, but after a while it became really clear and I realized it was dead simple. Ultimately it was a film that took me by surprise, despite its long playing time, and unexpectedly continued to fascinate me.The beginning of this remarkable film is I could say brilliant. A scarce setting. Young Evan Lou Taylor Pucci bedside of his dying mother. A joke. A blank stare. A final sigh and then ... finito. The day of the funeral ends with an out of control bar fight. To avoid problems with the local police, Evan decides out-of-the-blue to book a plane ticket and travels to distant Italy. Once there, he ends up in the company of two British loudmouths whose main interests are : pouring as much as possible alcohol in their throat, using gore language and constantly trying to seduce an Italian girl. The day they scram and leave Evan behind, he's determined to get acquainted with the beautiful Louise Nadia Hilker with whom he briefly made eye contact, somewhere at a village square. He offers his services at some farm in order to pay for his stay and slowly the two grow closer together. What emerges is a not so obvious relationship. The mysterious and impulsive Louise isn't exactly making it easy for Evan and soon the viewer is fully aware that she's hiding a terrible secret.What is it that makes this film so unique? Several things as I look at it afterwards. The casual and spontaneous way these two people interact, converse and let love flourish between each other. Not with contrived and forced dialogues. It seemed as if their love game unfolds naturally before your eyes and you witness how two charismatic individuals whirl around each other in a flirting way. You wouldn't say that Evan has charisma. He looks more like a meaningless, unqualified,miserable fellow who has no specific goal in his life and also has a limited wardrobe. Yet he came across as profound and intellectual during philosophical conversations with Louise. And certainly the speed at which he could grasp the whole explanation, proves there's a sparkle of some intelligence. Conversely Louise is a chunk of charisma. A mysterious character who Evan can't get hold of and whose reasoning and reactions raises questions. The reason why she is confusing at times and stands aloof, becomes clearer as soon as the terrible secret is revealed. Superb performances without a doubt.Also cinematically it's a bit different. The camera movements and positions are sometimes surprising. The bird's-eye view sometimes delivers beautiful images such as the boat trip. These splendor images are regularly interrupted by short shots of all kinds of flora and fauna. Bizarre and sometimes incomprehensible. But all this is ultimately connected with the big secret. The most successful scene is when Louise explains the whole mystery to Evan. Although she doesn't want to explain it initially, she changes her mind and she does it while Evan is on its way through the narrow streets of the Italian village. And while stumbling over the cobbles he listens to the eerie tale. I would have preferred that she'd tell this complicated story calmly at a table because the pivoting camera and flashy long sequence demanded all my attention. And this ensured that the final message didn't directly hit me and sounded pretty hazy. The horror clips are scarce, sometimes unclear and sometimes with pretty ugly CGI. Is this done deliberately? Were the resources limited? I have no idea. But ultimately it all fits perfectly with the rest.Maybe there's a moment when you're wondering where exactly the romance is hiding ? Maybe you dropped off because it's pretty surreal and it all looks strange. And yet you should do the effort to sit through the movie, because the final denouement is pure romance. This is the epitome of true love. Maybe I raved about this film, but I've never seen the concepts live, love, death,pregnancy and rebirth flow into each other in such a subtle way. A simplistic love story with a quirky twist which eventually ends in a way you hoped it would end. A beautiful, unique film that briefly will resonate to some.More reviews here : http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be

little town where he meets Louise. Here is where the story really begins.Boy meets girl. Boy falls for girl and falls hard – love at first sight. You feel bad for him because you know right off the bat that something is not quite right with the enigmatic Louise. There's no way this is going to end well but that doesn't keep you from hoping that it does and hey, you never know. And then things get weirder and weirder. The pace is a bit slow but you never feel bored. Normally I would find extended scenes of two of people talking to be dull, but these aren't – they're really interesting, revealing and intimate. The look of the movie is also very nice. The country side and the quaint town – a vacationers dream locale – and then there's Louise – what is she? Throw in some history, legend, junk science and a bit of philosophy. Loved the ending.Both Pucci Evan and Hilker Louise are excellent in their roles – convincing and very likable. Good stuff.
