All I can say is to watch this film for Anton Yelchin! A wonderful actor who died way to young. He is outstanding here as a broken hearted man seeking the why to the rejection from the woman he so loved.Beautiful photography which creates the mood so necessary in this story!
... View MoreAfter hearing of one of my favorite actor's, Anton Yelchin, passing - I was devastated. I wanted to watch what he had left to be seen beyond his death, film wise.This was the final movie he filmed before his passing and I was just now able to view it, after wait almost two years...It is a simple glimpse into a single night, shared between two lovers. It gives a view from each perspective, both before and after their passionate night, and shows how a single night can leave a lingering effect on the heart and soul. Some loves are meant to last and some, like theirs, never gets to live beyond a night. There are no special effects, CGI, or drawn out plot points, which is why this movie communicates more in its hour and ten minute (not including credits) than the standard Hollywood fare. Created on actual film stock vs. the standard digital format, it gives it a more timeless feel and gives it more warmth. Not to say this is a warm movie - it is heartbreakingly beautiful in its tone and content.As a fan of Richard Linklater, it reminded me very much of Before Sunrise, but without near as much dialogue. It is also works well as a final goodbye from a tremendously talented actor, who was taken from the world way to soon.
... View MoreI did not expect this to be so powerful when I checked the trailer. Two ordinary human beings ran into each other just at the right place and right time at different locations, and then, they fell in love. As I grow older, i understand why this film was made. It tells people how life works and how unpredictable it is. you can't anticipate anything nor grasp anything in life. things just happen.
... View MorePORTO tells accidental love story between a woman who wanna find someone lift her luggage to new apartment and a guy who cares their short-time relationship too much. (well, I'm kidding) The composition of film is very beautiful, from city views of Porto to restaurant, actress' flat, even natural while charming beauty of actress. Actor's performances on emotions are quite striking, so only part makes me sad is that his actor Anton Yelchin passed away in 2016, R.I.P.
