Watch It's All About Love For Free

Film Perfection

Boring

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I categorize my movies for myself in different an maybe strange order. But everybody does these things the way they do to maintain order for themselves. I myself found this film very intriguing. For that i cannot understand it's low rating.In my town are 4 cinema's but only 1 brings out the more alternative films that just don't really fit the mass of the people. I do not feel myself more than anyone else. But when i go to see a movie in this theater i always feel that i am among most aware and intellect intelligent people. I do not have that in a normal cinema where the next batman film is been played. ( i liked the last 3 batman movies very much tho). But it's different.When i walked out of the cinema watching this film i had very mixed and strange feelings. I didn't really knew what to think or feel. And i think that is a good thing. It is not a microwave meal to take away.I can imagine that some people found the strangeness of the film a disappointment. Little example. When i walked out of this cinema some years ago, seeing eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, i had this same kind of feeling. Not exactly the same of course, but a certain kind of confusing that can be very cool in a movie.Please people, don't let you lead by the ratings and give this film a chance. There is some art in here.It's definitely not a very ordinary film, but for me it was well worth the watch and to be baffled. i hope i spelled that correct. See it and experience.

I rented "It's All About Love" last night. When it was over, I hit "play" and watched it for a second time.This is a bizarre, ambitious, and uncompromising film. It is like a David Lynch film but without the horror. It is a basically a filmed dream.The director does not condescend to the audience by explaining everything or anything, which is probably why it got such bad reviews.From my viewpoint, the title explains what is happening in the movie. In this science fiction world, love is what holds the world together. Without it, the fabric of the world starts falling apart and people drop dead in the street, it snows in July, and people in Uganda start floating.This is definitely not a film for everybody. But if you are open minded and willing to go along for the ride, it is unlike anything you have seen before.If you are looking for a coherent plot and a linear story, this film is probably not for you.

...and alas, this movie doesn't really have one. I was shocked to discover the director took an alleged two years to write the script. I think he must have used the same writing technique William Burroughs did gluing phrases together more or less at random to create Naked Lunch. In other words, the artist without any borders whatever may create a masterwork, but more likely will create a stillborn work.Now to be sure, if one thinks hard enough about "what it all means," the theme of compassion (or actually the decreasing amount of compassion) between human beings works. Ugandans "flying" away from earth is (or could be) a symbol for Ugandans so forgotten by the world that they no longer can stand on it. Sounds heavy, and maybe it would have worked except that particular symbol is only mentioned a couple times in passing and never developed into anything.Mr. Morrison... an allusion to Jim Morrison, the perhaps iconic art nihilist? Maybe. Isn't this fun? Or / and is Mr. Morrison symbolic of death, an interpretation we're surely offered nearer the end of the movie. Or not.Everyone's stepping over dead bodies, who died for lack of love (compassion). This did appeal to me, and impacted me in a lasting way, despite again being merely a prop rather than a developed part of the story.Filming was beautiful. Joakin Phoenix, Sean Penn, Clare Danes all tried admirably to invest their characters with depth, and oddly succeeded, as did Douglas Henshall (whom I remember for his great performance in "Orphans," a memorable and unique movie with a definite plot!). But the story, the story, the story...I didn't waste my time watching this... not totally, at least. I mourned, however, what could have been. This strange wreck could have been magnificent... but it really is all about plot.

... if it's impossible to understand what happens in the film? Imagine Ms. Tuschinky's 10th grade film class in some snooty private high school for the arts in Connecticut. Imagine the year-end project of two of the "brightest" (and most insufferable) students in the school. Imagine the script written by their depressed "artistic" friend who knows _Last Year at Marienbad_ by heart and has posters of Lina Wertmuller glued to the ceiling of his bedroom.That's "It's All about Love." Pretentious, incomprehensible, incoherent, illogical, irrational, and spastic. I've almost worn out my thesaurus except for the one that sums it all up: Stupid. (I'm leaving out the bad words because they'd certainly be censored anyway.) This is an _Eyes Wide Shut_ ripoff, and if a person had a brain in his head he might well think twice before copying a film that was, itself, a Bleeding Mess. How this piece of Eurotrash found its way to Sundance is a Miracle of the Universe, but suffice it to say that Thomas Vinterberg was the star child of The National Film School of Denmark in 1993.'Nuff said.
