Nothing Personal (2009)

Not since "Flashdance" has a lobster dinner been seasoned with so much unspoken emotion.

In her tale of a brusque, prickly young Dutch woman who inexplicably cuts herself off from the world, except for a heavily circumscribed relationship with a man whose isolation is less voluntary, writer-director Urszula Antoniak hits a lot of expected notes.

Dutch-born Lotte Verbeek is solid as You, a role that won her the best-actress prize at the Locarno Film Festival.

Largely thanks to Verbeek's performance, full of physical grace notes and small details, she manages to involve the audience, even though her character is more a movie creation than one based in real psychology. Rea, largely giving his usual mumbling Oirish perf, proves a selfless support, and provides an anchor to the movie.

With both hostility and compassion, the damaged duo slowly come to understand themselves and their respective pain-a familiar path that's energized by subtle lead performances, a tactile sense of place and surprising insight into the way people connect as they help each other heal.

As for the many loose ends the director leaves, you can either tie them or leave them loose, either way is fine since the experience as much as anything is what Antoniak was after.

激烈潮湿的欧陆海风，延伸的半岛，墨绿到黝黑的茂盛树丛，海边的白房子，唱片堆和歌剧，窗户挂帘和清透日光，壁炉边书橱旁的交谈和清晨的广播、报纸与早餐盘；所有温和恬淡的外表下隐晦的激情和支离破碎的心

爱尔兰的文艺片，孤独和冰冷，也很闷。

孤独的物种最浪漫,他们的言语不多,情绪也很少,面对一件件难过的事情总是可以不动声色,义无反顾的坚守一份虚妄的爱又从不计较得失

简洁。冷感。

画面清新，音乐动听，故事简单而情绪纠结，不脱小清新的范畴。在开头时以为它要往深度走，但还是从感情与感受的表面掠过。

有点另类的爱尔兰-荷兰合拍爱情片，大段的沉默、爱尔兰乡村风光、歌剧等是本片的特色，但终归也只是一段刻意但不太可信的爱情。

到頭來都一樣孤獨。

离群索居

小清新还是不太适合我

then make it stop...it's beyond me.

理想中我的爱情

孤岛，海藻。

不喜欢文艺片。

很激动 是时候考虑以后
