What's that line, "writing about music is like dancing about architecture?" I'm not always convinced by the parallels Anderson draws between her many topics, but she undeniably presents a vision that helps to make sense (and, perhaps, redeem) a world that's often bafflingly and pointlessly cruel; transmogrifying death into love, empathy and creativity.

Anderson really fumbles for that arthouse veneer in a labored filmic essay on dealing with death, expressed mostly by her affected speech in voiceover. I lost count of all the pages she rips from Jonas Mekas. She also pastes a bunch of the most overused Wittgenstein and Kierkegaard quotes, in disconnect with their philosophies (Ludo's she calls "cryptic"). Worst of all, she apparently let her dog suffer to death instead of putting her to sleep because her idiot spiritual teacher told her to.

I can't say its good, but I also cannot deny that it is one of the most inspiring films I've ever seen, shallow as it may be.

It's too shallow, too pretentious and doesn't touch anything substantial at all. Miss Anderson and her white, middle class, spiced up with pseudo philosophy docile life enters into a crisis when she looses her husband and her "rat terrier" brand dog, pushing her to cite the most famous sentences of Wittgenstein and Kierkegaard (of course with a help from her Buddhist teacher). It doesn't have a strong and poetic language and ends up as pseudo philosophical masturbation. I'm really against this.
