To each his own. You call it sordid and depressing, unable to remember why.
Here, it is seen as a beautiful film, one filled with eternal love, learning, and life (how abruptly it might change).
To each his own, definitely. ‘Unable to remember details’ only means my take-away was, “What a gross film.” I didn’t expect to have to delineate why ten years later. Will get back to you/ ;)
