I realize it's not in theatres anymore, but what did all of you think about 'Heaven'?

I was torn by the film. I think Twyker did a great job with it...but I keep trying to think of what Kieslowki would have done instead. And since I think its a good film, but not great, do I blame Twyker or the script (the latter which I'm loathe to do, since I love Kieslowki).

Anyway, I think its probably as good as it could be, considering that its one director trying to honor the memory of another. And I'm consistently pleased to see Twyker not trying to rip off his one big success.

This film was so so and just plain booed in most parts, but it was quite a success in latin america...for an art film, anyways...

most people that I know that saw it think is one of the best...I enjoyed it a lot, it's on my topt ten of the year...

maybe it's a cultural thing....

I loved it. Liked it better than any other Tykwer film I've seen, including Run Lola Run. Will there be a DVD release anytime? I can only hope... (MacGuffin??)

It figures that at the very moment I stop checking every single day for it, they quietly release it...  :oops: I'm ordering mine even as I write this. That's right, I can type with my feet.

Just rented this the other night... I had seen the trailer a long time before, and was not too excited about it, it looked kind of dissapointing, but when I saw the actual movie was great... I wouldn't say it was better than Run Lola Run, but it's up there.
