Finally got a chance to watch this most poignant film, which treats the subject with great sensitivity. I am most impressed by the acting, especially that from the two in leading ones. DC surprises me here - for his ability to immerse in the role, and proving himself quite capable of a romantic/tragic role.
I am most interested in the sequences that reflect on how their relationship turn sour, and how, in particular, Sylvia deals with it by losing herself into her most creative period of her life. GP is simply sublime in this role as a suicidal poet who cannot pick herself up - other than pouring out her frustration and despair creatively - in everyday life.
Tragedies might vary in forms, but they are also similar in that they all involved people who cannot 'think outside the box'.
