And the fire fades away.

Film Watched Michael Winterbottom's Code 46 this evening, and it's certainly one of the best films I've seen this year. By taking the setting and plot of what could have been a tired sci-fi action drama, and dropping them into a slower, more sensuous pacing, with understated performances and faux-naturalistic dialogue, the film becomes a piece about sadness and loss of control. It's a sigh about the world and human race and what we could become. A bit of a love it/hate it film though, so I'd check Rotten Tomatoes before you take the plunge. But I think you'll love it -- it's beautiful.
