Movie Reviews of Don't Die Without Telling Me Where You Are Going
Movie Review: "Those Images Will Be There Forever" ~ Finding Your Soul Mate In This Life And The Next
Summary: 5 Stars
What do you get when you blend the talents of visionary director Eliseo Sbiela, the evocative music of Pedro Aznar and a multi-layered, profound storyline combining a heart wrenching love story and one man's quest for meaning all explained with a New Age understanding of the spiritual nature of all things? Why you get `Don't Die Without Telling Me Where You Are Going', one of the most unique, enjoyable and thought provoking viewing experiences I've had in a long time.
This '95 film from Argentina took me completely by surprise. It's an amazing work of art; haunting, evocative, imaginative, romantic, melancholy, intelligent and ultimately hopeful and positive. While essentially a love story, the movie also has elements of reincarnation, plant consciousness, auras and karmic concerns spread throughout the storyline. Some viewers may be dissuaded from watching for fear of indoctrination into such beliefs, but let me say that their presence is essential and so expertly done that these concepts flow naturally with the script and will not strike the audience as be aberrant or preachy in any way.
I experienced the strangest, almost spooky sensation several times while watching this film. It was as though it wasn't a film at all but a dream within a dream. I was asleep dreaming that I was watching a dream on television. That's about as close as I could get to describing the feeling. This sensation primarily overshadowed me during the black and white segments showing events from the past lives of the main characters. The sequence showing departed souls moving towards the light as they prepare to reincarnate was magnificently done. It's an image I don't think I'll ever forget.
Needless to say I was spellbound from beginning to end. Leopoldo (Dario Grandinetti) and Rachel (Mariana Arias) deliver superb performances as the two eternal soul mates constantly in search of each other from one lifetime to the next. I had never heard of Mariana Arias before but she is definitely on my list of favorites now. She's absolutely beautiful.
Summary of Don't Die Without Telling Me Where You Are Going
CINEMA PARADISO meets WINGS OF DESIRE in this fantastical and hopelessly romantic film. Dario Grandinetti (TALK TO HER) stars in this startling, mind-bending romantic drama from Argentina's master of magical realism, director Eliseo Subiela (DARK SIDE OF THE HEART, MAN FACING SOUTHEAST). Grandinetti stars as Leopoldo, a lonely film projectionist who has invented a machine to record his dreams. Through a series of odd events, Leopoldo discovers that he is the reincarnation of one of the inventors of cinema, and that a woman he sees in his dreams is his eternal companion on a trip through the centuries.Art House & International DVD Video
