Rings of the Unpromised

From the opening score I was captured. The music delved right into the poetry lightning called love, seducing my ears as if a lover was chanting to me - and the script and acting followed. I loved several things about Rings, including the way it mixed traditional filmmaking with portrait presentation and a touch of cinéma vérité. I was also delighted to learn that the literary agent, Ted, is portrayed by the actual poet whose poem forms a foundation to the film. He gets to diss his own poem - love the irony. It shows the writers and producers know quite well the ironies of life, love, and luck, as evident by this film.
