Interconnected stories examine situations involving the five senses.

This is a really well done indie-film. Sometimes it overreaches and characters are stretched too thin, but for the most part, a really great movie.

It's a high concept idea brought to life in a very human story. Podeswa fumbles with the concept sometimes; smell and hearing are particularly hamhanded, but with the others he manages a more subtle touch. What bothered me most was the way everyone was so gosh-darned understanding with each other. Except for the end of the "taste" plotline (which one imagines will turn out alright), there's no dramatic tension. But in general it's a thoughtful, moody work with some nice moments and gentle humor.

Really interesting, although i don't think i can tell you what this movie is about. Oddly depressing, stocked with delicious characters & occasionally a bit much. I'm not crazy about the soundtrack or the catalog of weird, nevertheless, it is quite compelling.

Feels like a "Kieslowski-light". Not very rewarding, but it's heart is in the right place.
