theshillbuster I found this movie by sheer luck a couple days ago. I was watching some cheesy chic flick I never heard of. For good reason. But this little jewel popped up in the preview section when that was over. I didn't even watch the preview. I just read the description. From my own crazy experience with suicide I knew I wanted to watch it. So I did. And i'm really happy that I did. The acting is good. The story is even better. I fell in like immediately with the two main characters. It's very interesting and kinda quirky. So the range of emotions are deep but presented in a light hearted way. If that makes sense. It will if you watch it. It's really sad that these days there's a lot of crappy movies that get a lot of publicity because so and so is in it or so and so produced it. This movie is one of the best indie's i've ever seen. I rated this an 8 because it left me feeling good. And it blows any mainstream suicide movie outta the water!! Enjoy!

tomas-nt So I never wrote a review before, but I just felt I needed to write one for this film. I have to say that I'm generally very critical about comedies because they seem to me just stupid and the stories are too often absolutely void of any meaning. I usually don't like comedies. In fact, I'm usually too critical about any kind of movie. I'm too critical about people around me. I'm too critical about life in general. I'm too critical about anything at all. And that's part of the reason why I needed to watch this so badly. I tend to appreciate films and art in general that seem powerful, tragic, dramatic, that capture the depth and tragic beauty of life and existence. This film is the absolute opposite in a way and yet it reached much deeper. The whole ambient of the film is very good. It's very relaxed, very careless, and leaves you in a great mood and happy about what you have. In a way, it reminds me of the Big Lebowski. It reminded me in a very heartfelt way that life isn't about achieving, winning or loosing, it's not so much about the moments of sudden change (like death, or a separation, or the loss of a loved one) which we usually overvalue, but a lot more about the nice moments which we overlook - the in between. The film is an in between moment. The characters are in some kind of quest. But the way it's shown to you makes you realize that in no way the final point of the quest is in any way more important than the moments in between. I absolutely loved the ambient and the characters. They're just enough to the crazy side and just enough down to earth. Also, the way some parts of the plot seem to make not so much sense or are a bit absurd just adds up to the nice carefree feeling. And obviously also the way that death or the afterlife is portrayed. I know I'm giving an absolutely personal and subjective perspective of the film. But I felt I should say this because this film just reminded me or even made me realize that life isn't really a tragedy in a moment when I most needed that. Watch this if you need to feel good (: I loved it. 9/10 (which I don't give easily and is the maximum I've ever given)

lovacica_u_zitu Story displays elevating affirmation of life and underdogs will to find in motion what was lost in crossing over. Introductory scene's purpose was to give us the image of Zia's chaotic life. We can see his ''break on through to the other side''. After he offed himself, he is transferred to the parallel world: A line which preface action both in the film and short story reveals a dreary and melancholic setting: ''Everything is the same here, it's just a little worse''.''And as we're crossing border after border, We realize that difference is none'' - just like the Gogol Bordello's song says, this analogous world isn't so different from the alive one. A movie can be classified as a road movie because they spent the greater part of time driving over desolate, meandering countryside. Eugene's car has broken headlights which cannot be fixed and that is reason why they cannot drive at night. Also, there is a hole underneath the seat and Eugene is angry when Zia drops his sunglasses in it. ''Anything that goes around that car seat is lost forever.''Whole paragraphs of texts were transferred from story to screenplay, but the director Goran Dukić dared to change crucial thing, the ending. The director gave it a totally altered felicitous note by ending it differently. He used down the rabbit hole in Eugene's car to rejoin Zia and Mikal, so not all things which vanished in whole were lost. Kneller, who turns out to be Person In Charge steals Zia's file. At the end of the movie we can see Zia waking up in the hospital and the Mikal is lying next to his bed smiling each other, so we don't know whether whole this underground trip was a part of the coma. It is MacGuffin effect; the director leaves the decision to us. Melancholic mood was complemented with good background musicIt is one of those masterpieces which you like because they are so weird and probably no one knows about them so You can have them just for yourself. It is a low budget movie, but it transmits high hopes.

Bo Liu Sorry for my poor English first. I just cant helping expressing something since i am attracted by the film so much. It was my friend who told me there was a fantastic movie named Wristcutters: a love story)That friend is a artist who paints children fairy tales. he told me it is an amazing movie that you may like. The first time i watched it, i fallen asleep. and can not get any of the point in the film at all. and as i trying to figure out what is the spotlight attracts my friend so much, i found myself totally absorbed by this odd film. as i watching i found it not odd any more, i found every minute every scene interesting. The total film seems a dream that everyone may have. a weird dream. i believe everybody had that kind of dreams, at least i did. if you told your friend the total details of the dream, they may not be interested. You will be like "i dreamt that i killed myself, and the moment i died i saw a dust in the corner of my room very annoying " you friend will be like"oh.. well and then ?" you will be continuing "i died and i came to another world which is worse than the world we living in now" your friend will be like"OK, and what happened next" you going ahead with"i get along with a Ruusian guy named Eugine who killed himself on the stage with his own guitar who was only interested in getting drunk and getting laid after dying " and when it comes to "after Urgune pulled out the gas filling nozzle in the gas station i found my ex..." your friend will be bored by all these so far. Because the film is started with an interesting starting, and it goes so flat that may disappoint the listener. things involved are so detailed and no big deal. But right as it is so, it tells us a truth which one of the characters said "only when you stop finding those miracles, they will come to you" Actually, this Truth is not even useful, it will not make sense of telling this little Truth by this whole movie. but if you are a people that always confused by the meaning of your boring life you will think the movie making sense. Because life is boring itself indeed. Some people even try to kill themselves to make some difference. But there is no difference even if you kill yourself. Its just a second life with worse situation to be dealt with. Then you will find, like is boring but it is with little miracles like love. and you trying to find those miracles so bad as life is so boring, but it turns out miracles will come to you only when you are not finding them intentionally. the whole movie is wonderful with all the imagined weird and fantastic dead world. the music even make the movie better. as i search the song played on the car many times. I found the lyrics telling exactly what i think.The song named Through the roof N undergroundThe lyrics is as below. "Through The Roof 'N'Underground"When there's a trap set up for you In every corner of this town And so you learn the only way to go is underground When there's a trap set up for you In every corner of your room And so you learn the only way to go is through the roof Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground And as we're crossing border after border We realize that difference is none It's underdogs who, and if you want it You always have to make your own fun And as the upper dog leisurely sighing The local cultures are dying and dying The programmed robots are buying and buying And a psycho load of freaks they are still trying trying Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground And as the boy scouts learn to read between the lines The silver rabbits hop between their fathers' lies And boy scouts ask "Where? Where do they go?"They go to the country that they only know Just like their meanings they lay between the lines Between the borders their real countries hide The strategic's saw their advertise Their strategy of being is one of in-your-face disguise Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground!And when their own walls they will a-crumble,And all the systems will be discombobulate,Around the stump of bigotry, our own !Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground Ooohoohoooh through the roof, and underground Ooohoohoooh through the roof, underground Ooohoohoooh through the roof! Underground! Through the roof! And underground!Through the roof! Underground!
