Way too much of Eva Green's boobs. Then the disease hits...first is taste and smell and then everyone goes deaf and finally everyone goes blind. I found the premise of this type of disease unrealistic. Just a morbid film with no real plot. In the end I felt empty after watching this for 90 minutes.I think we had 2 people that were alone in life and not very happy. One just lost his wife/girlfriend and the other can't have children. Then they find each other and quickly get to the sex. I mean these two did it like a couple of rabbits. Then they got mad at each other but at the end of the movie went blind together...happily ever after.
... View MoreI had heard about this film in my college film class while we were learning about sound in film. The final 5 minutes of this movie was used as an example, where all we heard was the beautiful music while they were deaf and trying to find each other. I almost started crying in front of 78 other students, so I figured that I should give this movie a watch. I am not usually someone who really watches romantic movies, but the premise of how they're losing their senses really grabbed my attention, as I do have an interest in apocalyptic movies (and yes, this counts as one of those). For a "romantic" movie, it did not go at a slow pace in any part. The loss of senses would come at perfect moments, allowing time in between for adaptation, then ripping it away with the next loss. It kept the movie feeling fresh and kept the pace going strong.I was not let down a single bit. This movie is such a wonderful emotional experience. The visuals are incredible, especially the cinematography by Giles Nuttgens. The soundtrack is gorgeous, especially when the deafness comes. The look of the movie is a cloudy, depressing look, and with good reason. It's an extremely depressing situation, and what lies ahead of losing their senses is inevitable starvation then death. So it makes sense that they went with a glummer visual tone. Also the dialogue was excellent, it felt like the two were really having a special connection, and nothing was corny about it. In fact it reminded me of real life relationships. The ending was absolutely spectacular. I wish that I didn't see it in my class because it would have been so much more impactful, but I still got to have the emotional response that I held back seeing the original clip. It made me want to do what they were doing; embrace someone. Overall such a phenomenal movie and it's unfortunate it didn't have more success than it did. I have absolutely nothing wrong with this movie, so I give it a 10/10. Definitely check this one out.
... View MoreMagnificent narration, superb images of third world populations, mingled with a modern parable of progressive loss where everyone is affected. One feels so sorry for Susan (Eva) and Michael (Ewan)...and themselves too! A very moving story that takes the viewer from the first minute to the final black screen, without using all the tricks of today's blockbusters. Sober, moving, efficient.
... View MoreIt's not that often I write feedback on IMDb, a film has to move me an awful lot for me to do that. Perfect Sense moved me from the start. I had this instinct that it was going to be pretentious nonsense masquerading as art house and I was spot on. It's produced about as well as you'd expect of a 1st year media studies student, although that fits the story, which is about as interesting as that written by a grade one primary pupil. Everyone in the world cries, then loses their sense of smell. No-one knows why. Then they lose their sense of taste too. Amidst all of this is the story of 2 people who meet and start a relationship, which is poorly acted and utterly unbelievable. The constant voice-over is meant to add some kind of gravitas to the movie with a despondent death knell of a message which sounds like it was written by a 10 year old. That's enough, this film is utter, total rubbish and I am quite annoyed that I wasted 90 minutes of my life suffering this tripe.
