It is amazing to see that in the 21st century there are still movies being made with such a slow pace. It reminded me of Ingmar Bergman movies. In fact, it is every bit as deep. If you give it the time to work on you, you find out that actually a lot is happening. It does not matter where you were born: for the time the movie lasts the 28th of November is your town of birth and you are revisiting the dreams and passions that the protagonist left there as if they were your own. No synopsis can capture such a movie, because it is the eternal questions about death and love, the choices and compromises you make in life versus the passions of youth, that will keep you occupied for days after seeing this, that matter much more than the actual action. Intelligent and multilayered without ever trying to be intellectual. Add to that a brilliant main actress, overall great acting, a perfect original music score. Brilliant movie.
