In my opinion, TONY TAKITANI was the best film of 2005. It's about a man who has lived his whole life with loneliness until he meets someone and can finally find love... except she has this flaw that leads to tragedy for both of them. Every inch of the film is beautiful- the cinematography, score and writing are extraordinary. It's very literary, poetic and powerful. I was so moved that when I left the theater I was talking to my boyfriend about a scene from the film and I started weeping. We walked right into this restaurant across the street and I had to excuse myself to the restroom to pull myself together. No film has ever had an effect like that on me.
