They don't get any better than this...,
Rather than offering the usual trite 'Make Sure You Don't Miss This Film' I will simply say, 'Don't Bother Watching Anything Else In 2008'
Personal I never had any experiance of drugs and nobody I know have been using drugs - but I don't think this stunning film doesn't just get it right when it comes to the horrors of heroin addiction it provides powerful hints as to the best way for an addict to make good his escape!
But this flick is much, much more than a primer on drug addiction. It is simply one of the most moving and motivating flicks I've ever seen on the potential for creative change achievable through the decidedly Low Tech technique of people realizing that in the end the Bell Tolls Today for us all. Better yet it illustrates beautifully and with great emotional impacting the almost unbelievable potential inherent in the process of one and all working towards something a bit larger than making selfish self come true.
My hat is off to everyone involved in this stunning piece of work! Brilliant script, brilliant directing, brilliant acting and some of the most innovative and creative camera work that I've every had the joy of experiencing -

Things We Lost In The Fire: Halle Berry and Susanne Bier Interview
- 29 Jan 2008
We rubbed shoulders with the mesmerising Halle Berry, along with influential Danish director Susanne Bier, to talk about new drama Things We Lost In the Fire. Berry plays recent widow Audrey Burke, whose family is fatefully brought together by her late husband's troubled best friend (Benicio Del Toro). As he gradually turns his life around, he simultaneously helps the family to look towards the future rather than struggle to let go of the past. Find out why Halle would happily walk into a...
