Agreed with my Tibetan friend, its fidelity to reality is not bad, for a Hollywood movie.
Each frame is a great painting with otherworldly beauty. The melancholy of the poet resonates with me too, despite the distance of culture and time.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Great portrayal of feverish teenage love with fast moving cameras. The burning down of the boulangerie and the youth suicide are extreme, but add to the tumultuous passion.
Immediate response is that it's a great encapsulation of the modern American (male) existence: extreme loneliness and there's no way out. Conventional professional success, nuclear family, parenthood, sexual pleasure, etc. nothing solves the loneliness problem. For me personally, I see so many ways out but the protagonist just couldn't. It's also annoying how these women were so attracted to him for his "talent" or social status, and are so willing to start fleshy transaction that benefits no one.
