Two names which attracted me to
this movie were Michael Caine and Hans Zimmer (Music). And I must say what a
wonderful movie this one turns out to be, this one reminded me big time of last
year’s French movie "Amour" which received an Academy Award for Best Foreign
Language Film. Same background, same city, even the house where it is shot
almost looks identical to the one in Amour, in one particular scene one can see
Eiffel Tower in the background. This one starts where that one ended – Mr.
Morgan’s (Superb Michael Caine as the retired professor) wife dies and he
refuses to let go of her body, how he survives after her death, moves on with
the help of a new friend, almost falls in love again, gets connected to his
family is the rest of the movie. His life changes when he meets Pauline (Clémence
Poésy) who is a dance instructor in a local dance school, they hit it off so
well and it’s just amazing to see their chemistry. All hell breaks loose when one
fine day he tries to commit suicide, taken to a hospital and they inform his
family (Son and daughter settled in USA), what happens next is a totally
amazing drama every family goes through at one point or the other. A totally
different love story cum drama and is a must watch for drama lovers. Michael
Caine is in such a superb form in this one – he is anyways a legend and it’s a delight
to watch him in a full fledge role in this one – I am definitely giving it a
damn good 4/5 with a must watch recommendation for all.
