lucky number 7

7. Before the rain

















I saw this movie on TV shortly after it was released. The critical acclaim made me curious and I'm very happy that it has been shown on TV at least two times. The way the director plays with time and ingeniously combines three stories into one circle, which is not round, is simply breathtaking. There is an abundance of scenes that have printed themselves onto my retina and even just thinking of the movie's finale drops my jaw to the floor.
Although this movie is extremely hard to come by I crave to see it again. Let's hope Criterion will one day grant my wish.
