I saw this movie yesterday, and must say that it's the first time that
I'm really really impressed by a Belgian movie. If I had to compare it
with another movie, I would say Into the Wild. Both movies are about
passion, beauty and sadness. Whereas ItW has a lot more focus on beauty
and passion (the sadness didn't really reach me), this one also has a
lot of beauty (never knew I liked bluegrass music so much) and passion,
but the sadness... oh the sadness... Half the movie you will be trying
to hold in your tears. So don't expect a big story with plot twists and
murder weapons; expect a story about real people, that puts your feet
on the ground, and that shows you how little it would take for you
yourself to end up like this. Now excuse me while I go and look for
some Bill Monroe music...
