When Ian Harding's mother dies, he is left all alone in the world at the age of 26. Unable to understand basic human emotions, he takes the decision to end it all in a snowy forest clearing but through a bizarre chance encounter, he discovers the lifeless body of a schoolgirl. Something about her, and her suicide note, resonates deeply within him, and Ian decides to bring her body home. He sleeps peacefully by her side and for the first time his eyes are opened to the possibility of love and a reason to live. He buries her body under a cherry blossom tree at the end of his garden. Searching for an opportunity to experience the same emotions, Ian manipulates an encounter with Tina, a young suicidal housewife, whom he meets over the internet. Ian finds peace in lifeless companies and discovers a burgeoning understanding of the complexities of love. He slowly begins to engage with the outside world, until once again he is forced to bury her body deep below the cherry blossom tree. Ian then meets Naomi, a beautiful young woman whose son's life was taken in a car crash... (texto oficial de la distribuidora)
(más)Reseñas (1)
I didn’t find it endlessly depressing or incredibly sad. Ian simply wasn’t lucky to get the life he wanted and the understanding of other people. Which I understand. I also had some understanding for him for a while. But after that while, however, I tried to get closer to him because I found out he’s not such a bad person. But that changes nothing about the fact that he has been through some hardships that the others would barely be able to handle… and if so, then probably only with some lasting consequences. Love Eternal is based on a pretty strange, borderline bleak idea. You could spend hours thinking about it and contemplating the topic of death. So, I guess it’s not for everybody. But there’s no denying the movie has some filmmaking qualities and it’s great that this premise was handled by Irish cinematographers as the story is a great fit for Ireland. All in all, Ireland once again confirmed to me that they barely have a match in Europe.
