Peter and Vandy

I watched the movie, Peter and Vandy tonight. I'd never heard of it and enjoyed it for being so exotic (because that's what constitutes something I have never heard of...er...right...) To my taste, at first it was hard to feel like I was being taken care of as a viewer, but it did grew on me after a good 10 minutes. It's a love letter to a relationship, essentially. There's also the "could-work-or-may-not-work-let's-hope-it-works" film making device with the choppy wonky timeline - but in a way it becomes half the fun to figure out where these two are in terms of their association. There's quite a good scene at the end where this editing is very effective. My favourite scene was one in a flower shop where Peter has a gorgeous piece of writing to say that everyone should say to their significant-other someday. If you can find someone who can tell you the words, "I know you" and mean it (and all knowing encompasses) then you've probably found THE one. I think at that point, "I know you" is even more powerful than, "I love you".
