The plot to this film sounds like a joke, a chef and an epidemiologist fall in love while everyone in the world begin to lose their sensory perception, but I assure it is not. Ewan McGregor (the chef) and Eva Green (the epidemiologist) play the couple to perfection. Their courtship among chaos is a master stroke of acting and film making, and one of the most heart-warming romances ever portrayed on screen. Kim Fupz Aakeson's writing is so true to life, and is steeped in emotions so deeply felt, you get lost in the characters heads trying to figure out just how you handle the situation at hand. Director David MacKenzie's visuals were absolutely stunning to watch. There is a montage where hunger takes over the planet before the second sense is lost that is so well shot and edited, it becomes frightening. Not something I was expecting going into this film,but I'm glad I got it. If this comes anywhere near you on next Friday, see it!
