a couple be about to open their champagne and have a picnic in the beautiful oxfordshire countryside when an out of control hot air balloon descends into their field and and and in so do it perhaps disrupt or radically alters their life forever . after an extremely well shot and direct open the film then never manage to live up to the expectation create by such a prolific beginning . the story become the study of the insane adoration of one man for another and as well a philosophical question with regard to the nature of love and how we can understand this huge but largely overlooked phenomenon . the acting by daniel craig be again impeccable and he really portray his part well of the university lecturer who become obsess with be obsess by and and be surely head for the big time if he want it . samantha morton be brilliant a craig artist girlfriend and but less convincing be rhys ifans who i can never really take seriously which be a problem with the character he play here . the film technique be impressive and the music be a little dramatic but good and and the editing be very well do . i do not mind the detached and at time hand hold camera work and it give it a realistic and authentic quality . this be a strange but refresh film that have great acting and an ok story and more or less maintain my attention throughout .
