This one was beautiful, from the beginning down to the end. (Grandpa debunking the afterlife was a nice touch, and the urn not returning the whistle was a relief.)
So what if instead of turning off the device, she had removed her bracelet? I guess that moment would really have lasted forever. (Unless the device is equipped with a fail-safe – which is doubtful since there's none when it runs out of juice.)
OK, so the music's good. But that's on the album, so what about the film? Well, they lost me when the abusive Kid beats Apollonia to the floor, just like his abusive father did before; oh, and what about that scene where the scantily clad female is abandoned alone in the night under the bridge? – pretty disgusting too… The treatment of women actually made me think of those old James Bond movies, and that's not a good thing.
Beautiful scenic drive in Minnesota, though.
I got this on DVD with the 1999 “Super Deluxe” edition. It is very short (just about an hour), and audio and video quality is appalling; no intro, no credits, this could almost be a bootleg. At the price they sell these reissues, you’d think they’d put some effort into them.
