Excellent, Without a doubt!!
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
A rarity to stumble across a movie in which I do not find Eva Green's usual acting stiffness... unnecessary. In fact, I have only praise for the chosen cast since the, at times, lackluster chemistry between the two protagonists actually translates extremely well in terms of realism.Now, about the film itself... Having only just recently watched the thematically similar, brilliant 'Blindness', I was not expecting Perfect Sense to have any sort of impact on me but good Zeus, it truly left me in jaw-dropping awe.The bleak premise, the harrowing fear, the scorching anger are all eggshells on humanity's rotting floor -- but they don't come alone. In delicate balance, there is always hope tiptoeing around them, hope and the drive to move forward, maybe on instinct or feigned ignorance perhaps, but it's there, the need to not just survive but experience and live until life is no more.An eroding world which could have surrendered in anarchy chooses to keep up the fight in structure, instead striving to clad itself with some semblance of normalcy through a bull- willed grip to the familiarity of old habits.Ultimately, humanity ends in comfort.Bearing in mind I don't usually go for melodrama -and through the emotive use of music and sound/color play this often borders on beautiful depression- it somehow connected to my every point, and to my every level Perfect Sense made just that; perfect sense.
I both love and hate this movie. I love it, because it has so many clever ideas and such strong methods to give us the experience of losing senses. But the narrations were so dumb! Without these clichés this movie would have been stronger. I don't think the ending was accurate either, they could not be living "happily ever after", because are world is not designed for the disabled. They would die as soon as soon as they eat up all fat and flour (and soap).Unlike most reviewers I like to think of this movie like an allegory of the apocalypse. The losses are associated with heavy emotional crisises, which can be interpreted as the horseman of the apocalypse, and logically the end is death itself.The movie gives us strong metaphors and shows perfectly, how many important thing are that we don't appreciate.
A horrible combination of psychological weakness and intellectual limitation. I love the scene when a butcher tries eating a whole raw lamb, the meaningless conversations and the unpredictable moments of crying. I don't know, what exactly is the target group of this movie. The movie hints a latent warning about the end of humanity but somehow it manages to be an askew trumpet blast announcing the end of human creativity in itself. An extremely bad movie, director and "playwriter" are helped by a recommendation to stop working in these fields and start doing something with less visibility such as designing air puzzle or tasting watermelon wine in some Siberian countryside. I am sure somebody will organize for them a work visa.
Awesome. Can't believe I missed it when it came out, let alone missed hearing about it. As four years have gone by, there'e nothing I can add to the enthusiastic raves for PERFECT SENSE so my Comment will be little more than a strong recommendation to serious film buffs to not miss this film. Whether or not you consider yourself a film critic, this is not an "art" film. What appears to have disappointed those who canned P-S is the minimal treatment of the science fiction vehicle driving the love story core; i.e., just enough treatment to make the "epidemic" plausible enough so we can grasp the presence and impact of human emotions, resilience, desire and needs. The same can be said of UNDER THE SKIN, a more recent film which, like P-S, hit only a niche audience and was panned by the science fiction geeks looking for INDEPENDENCE DAY. Both films use science fiction merely as a vehicle though ordinary humanity is at the heart of both.
