‘You do what your heart says you have to’
And my heart says to watch this film again and again! Third time round and it remains just as perfect. Love the subtle little Easter eggs and new things I notice everytime I watch this!
From the first frame I get completely lost in this movie. The first scene perfectly captures the magic of your first cinema trip. I still remember the moment I fell in love with films and the…
