two great love stories
15 August 2006
This black and white movie is a wonderful rarity. Though pretty unknown it's one of my all time favorites.

Both stories, completely independent, are focused on love and how madly can we act when we're in love, no matter our age.

The first one is about first love, with all its magic and foolishness, thru a tween boy's look. The school and street playing scenes take you to an old looking children's world, which is fun to see from today.

The second, which is much shorter but even better, takes place within an asylum where men are set aside from women. So they, old people, have to conceal their relationship and make the most of the few moments they can get close to each other. The surprising and sad ending makes you smile from deep inside your heart.

Sounds weird: no murders, no shots, no monsters, no clowns, just a few simple people making their choices. It never gets slow or boring though, but grabbing and touchy.

It may not be easy to find, but it sure deserves the search, it will not disappoint any good movie lover.
