He's certainly influenced by contemporary classical music, and at times things get so introspective he almost seems detached.

While some prominent reviewers were highly negative toward the work, others consider it to be one of the best films of its decade. Plot The first half of the film, shot on black and white film, follows a man named Edgar who is working on an undefined "project" about what he considers the four stages of love: meeting, physical passion, separation, and reconciliation, involving people at three different stages of life: youth, adulthood, and old age. Edgar keeps flipping through the pages of an empty book ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
