Amour
(Love), a French film
with a ton of critical acclaim and buzz, is one that might have worked better in
theater as opposed to a film. Of
course, the film is hopelessly sad and extraordinarily acted, but there is
virtually no action. A wife has
two strokes and her wellbeing is left to her almost emotionless husband. We only learn about what is going on in
these subtle actions or sit-down dialogue. The film is well made, and if you are not bothered by
moments of dialogue with boring camera angles and scenes with just two elderly
people stumbling around, then this film is for you.
