YES Movie Review

Posted by:

Hi I went to see the new film at an advanced preview up at the ritzy in London, The film was FANTASTIC , YES is the story of a passionate love affair between an American woman (Joan Allen) and a Middle-Eastern man (Simon Abkarian) in which they confront some of the greatest conflicts of our generation â€“ religious, political and sexual.

Sam Neill plays the betrayed and betraying politician husband and Shirley Henderson a philosophical cleaner who witnesses the trail of dirt and heartbreak the lovers leave behind them, as they embark on a journey that takes them from London and Belfast to Beirut and Havana.

Thats just a brief outline, if you think that sounds good you should go and see the film. An interesting fact is that all the films dialogue is in Iambic Pentameter (a type of rhyming used famously by Shakepeare), which you would think would give the film an unatural feel, however you would be wrong, it adds emensely to the passionate emotions on display. I would recomend this film to anyone, although mainly directed at art house fans Im sure normal cinema goers will enjoy it just as much.

For more info on the film go to www.yesthemovie.com I would thoroughly recomend visiting, if your interested in seein the film. I was suprised at how good the film as i was not expecting such a clever, interesting
