Product Description

Unusual sci-fi romance from Danish director Thomas Vintenberg, set in a near-future world teetering on the brink of environmental collapse: children are dying on the streets in New York from an unexplained illness; the weather has become unpredictable to the point where snowstorms are a regular occurrence even in high summer; and a hole in the atmosphere above Uganda is starting to reverse the effects of gravity. Amid the chaos, a famous figure-skater, Elena (Claire Danes) and her husband John (Joaquin Phoenix) are in New York to sign their divorce papers after an 18-month separation. But when she sees John, an unhappy Elena ends up asking him to stay, and John discovers that Elena's manager, David (Alun Armstrong) has had Elena cloned, keeping three duplicates of her in case she is injured or killed. The discovery puts John's life in danger, and he and Elena are soon on the run together, realising that their relationship is the one thing worth fighting for.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dream 10 July 2005
Format:DVD
This film is about what the director feels in his life, how he perceives life through his eyes, as if in a dream. All wrapped up around what he feels is the most important things about life - Love. I didn't know what to think of the film when it started. At midpoint I was feeling like one of the other reviewers here, that it was a car crash, a disaster. I stuck with it, and by the time the film finished, I was overwhelmed. It is a film of impression, emotion, depth, abstraction, dream...but at it's core is what the title says - "It's All About Love"...

5.0 out of 5 stars It's All Good 21 July 2004
By Peter
Format:DVD
Films generally fall into one of two catergories - predictable and safe, or cutting edge and revolutionary. This is definitely the latter.

A visual journey of art-deco influence and Hitchcockian suspense, it provides romance, manipulation, complexity and disorder in one thrilling dose. Claire Danes is luminous in her role of Elena, Joaquin Phoenix is equally striking as her estranged husband and Sean Penn's cameo is simply perfect.

Thomas Vintenberg (Director) obviously made a conscious decision to create the antithesis of 'Festen' and it works wonders.

It's All About Love is beautifully bizarre, massively intruiging and incredibly resonant. It may not be conventional, but this is a purposeful move and has originality at its heart.

This is an absolute must for anybody who loves cinematic genius.

3.0 out of 5 stars Crazy but good 6 Aug 2005
Format:DVD
Ok so I'm not going to pretend I understood this film - so my review may change as I spend more time thinking about it, but it gets under your skin. It reminded me of 'Magnolia' as it blended the surreal with the mundane and set it all in a completely believeable world.

The sets are excellent as they give the whole film as dream like quality that adds to the confusion. You don't know what is going on throughout the film, but resign yourself to this and you will free yourself to understand that the only message and truth of the film is that its all about love.
