(500) Days of Summer [DVD] [2009]

The proverb says perception is reality, but if thats the case were all living in a world of our own. By way of a repeatedly time-hopping narrative, this film addresses the competing perspectives present in every long-term relationship, and how something as innocuous as a smile can be interpreted completely differently by the two people sharing it. With a ton of post-production tricks and stunts in editing, it runs the risk of being over-conceptual and spoiled, but by keeping a steady focus on that one central point that all winds up complimenting the message nicely. Zooey Deschanel plays her typical hip, quirky character (if youre not already a fan of her act, she wont convince you here) and her pairing with Joseph Gordon-Levitt feels fun and natural while it lasts. Both characters are thoroughly rounded, with neither taking all the blame for their relationships trials and tribulations - a rarity for directorial confessionals - and theyre accompanied along the way by a dynamite soundtrack.

Funny, witty, realistic. Story about love, but not a love story.

JGL!!!!

I loved this movie!

This movie is cute, GREAT soundtrack and the cinematography is absolutely beautiful. That’s probably the main reason I like this movie so much, it’s filmed in such a stunning, captivating way. Zoey Deschanel irritates me in everything she does, but it’s a nice story about realizing that even when we love people, sometimes things just aren’t meant to be and we just keep moving forward.

indie romance classic with soundtrack to die for :-)

Un film che i teenager adorano, senza essere sciocco. Un cult per i nati nel 2000.

Great, funny and heartfelt film. I could watch it over and over. One of my favourite films

Its about how a man handles with losing a girlfriends. And how theres no such thing as Fate, or at least thats what were suppose to learn.

Good film. Arrived promptly.
