Like Someone in Love (Criterion Collection) (Blu-ray + DVD)

A most thoughtful film. The viewer feels compelled to try to understand the internal conversation that would going on in each of the three main characters. So much is unsaid. And chance encounters propel the story in an unexpected direction. The camera angles, especially in the car and up close, add to the sense that the viewer should understand the working of their minds.

I love this movie. Professor type gets himself involved in a not win type triad relationship. Behavior is so realistic you feel you can reach through the screen and touch these people. Adult situations but no hot scenes, Just life going on and you wonder all the time is there was a better way for these people who seem to deserve more.

A young woman and her female friend work as call girls in a high end club. Her friend has a thick skin and is able to have fun in this gig. The young woman is trying to finish college and is torn apart by all the circumstances of her life. Enter an older professor. The tarot card with the heart - dealt upside down. Beautifully done movie however.

Superb look into the mysteries of the human heart. Imagine if "The Great Gatsby" had ended with the body floating in the pool, with all else left up to you. Was Gatsby's quest to reclaim his past a failure? a lie? what was his life? why did he befriend Nick? do we ever know why we do what we do when the heart interacts with the dictates and demands of the world around us? Extraordinary casting and astonishing performances lead us on a voyage of introspection and discovery.

Really liked this movie. Interesting characters and lovely story. So many different emotions conveyed through the lens of the camera on the faces of the various people. And the curious ending produces lots of conversational energy afterwards. Would gladly watch it again.

Its unfortunate the filmmakers are so apparently ignorant of basic movie-making skills because their main characters are engaging, but go absolutely nowhere in a story that is stuptifyingly simplistic. There are actually scenes that last upwards of 10 minutes or more--I counted 3 or 4--and there is absolutely nothing in them that couldn't be said in a couple minutes or less. I'm a writer, and have literally never seen this in a movie before. Unbelieveable. And the ending is absolutely meaningless. If you're an existentialist, you'll love it.

Criterion should include subtitle in different languages considering all the the work the put in restoration, extras, etc.

Very good film for Japanese. They are usually slower than the Chinese but this one is a different topic done with taste.

Very French - which is what it's supposed to be. A little different from the usual Japanese film - which neither a good or bad thing. I liked it anyway. The ending will have you sitting up and saying "...what?!"

Came prompt, described correctly.

Lejos de ser una historia convencional, Kiarostami nos da solo un vistazo en un día de dos personajesSus movimientos, sutilezas y diálogos, estamos solamente asomándonos a su vida, sin terminar de comprenderlaEl documental que viene en el material extra resalta mucho esta característicaOjo: Al ser un Criterion no cuenta con subtítulos en español solo en inglés

In December I received Satyajit Ray's film Devi on Criterion. The front of the box was smashed in and the paper cover inside was considerably torn. A few days ago I received Like Someone in Love (pictured here) and the bottom of the box was quite broken, and I had to shake the box to rid the interior of plastic fragments lest they damage the DVD inside. Amazon does not make it easy to notify their company of damaged goods, so I am using this space to do so, and of course I am annoyed for several reasons.Devi by the way is one of the most insightful films dealing with culture and religion as contexts of human behaviour that I have seen - I haven't as yet watched Like Someone in Love. Should you order it from Amazon? Well, I next wanted to order the Criterion edition of Round Midnight, but can Amazon be trusted to deliver an undamaged DVD?

You ever had a movie talk to you in a-way that you think its not good..this is that movie..three lives meet.and when those three lives meet that's’ the understanding you need to dissect to find out what’s good.one for the soul purposes of enjoyment an to enlighten the other. but who knows how far that enjoyment will go.the other is to dominate the other...just because of love for the sake of love..this movie is so peaceful that you wouldn’t even care what’s coming next. you will be so rapped up in its deliveryof these three main subject who want to speak their mind but don’t want to listen..its very easy to describe this movie so I’ll not say anymore on the subject..just see it you wont regret it.1.78:1Beautifully Filmed..Only You Need To Consume It..
