In fact, I don’t even want to mention that the film is based on the novel by Paulo Coelho. Because the film is very good and in this sense — in my sense — not Coel’s. There is neither home-grown philosophism, nor profound mines in it. He is direct and frank. About a girl who wanted to commit suicide, but turned out to be seriously ill and had nothing left to live … About the fact that sometimes, in order to live, you have to die. Or that at least a part of you dies. British director Young has made Gellar, better known as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a wonderful tragic actress who manages to breathe life into even Coel’s pomp. Indeed, a very deep picture. And those who do not agree with me about Coelho, especially do not be afraid.
