    A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp. And the world seems so fresh as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realise that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.

    After reading the source material, I have to say that Tom Ford really sculpted a brilliant, much fuller, and engaging story from it. He is a marvel.The performances, (God, Julianne Moore can do anything!l), every shot / scene, the art direction, the editing - Everything is flawless! The soundtrack compliments the film perfectly and also stands up so well on its own. Thank you for sharing this.

    Ever notice how the people who give the "thumbs down" never bother to comment or give reason. Perhaps this is because it is only in their nature to dislike everything they see or hear without regard to worth or merit. It is evident here. While classical music may not be your cup of tea, there is no possible way to find fault with this piece of music.

    Just watched the movie. I really appreciated it, along with the actors, and its music. Truly love old movies, the cinematography, music, the storyline, everything!
    Thank you for this.

    from Colombia, this is one of the best movies i ever seen in my life, i really feel like i be in the character way, i used to think that i was the only human who think like that.. this movie give me hope and undescriptible sensation of become what i have to be, and then just die.. like just a simgle man
