Around the Sun

source: Around the Sun

A playful, non-pedantic love story of sorts, with interesting and amusing nods to science, philosophy and history. Like the philosopher aristocrat of times past it imagines freely and makes constant inquiries. One is even kept guessing as to its genre, as it offers delightful nods to cosmology, technology, and even SF themes such as the Fermi paradox. At the same time it stays grounded in the romance of the present and past. Ultimately it made me feel enchanted and very lucky and glad not to be a reductionist.

A beautiful film with an interesting love story. Wonderful film debut from Krimpas.

I found the film much more emotional than I expected. Cara Theobold as Maggie was luminous, sweet, flirty & fiercely intelligent. Gethin Anthony as Bernard was charming, engaging & fascinated. It was a little gem, intriguing and life-affirming. I loved it.

A pleasure, this film, that we have to offer to ourselves. Unlike Fontenelle who he recommends to us: "to bypass the pleasures. It's like swampy areas where we have to travel at a speed that doesn't dare to put our feet up", this movie reveals us and urges us to appreciate the pleasures of life, the pleasures that time has to offer _ as long as it holds a rotation of the sun around the earth and many more.

This is such a beautiful, thoughtful, mesmerising film. Worth several viewings

A wonderfully composed film, "Around the Sun" takes us to a chateau in France where two intelligent people meet cute but also have a meeting of the minds. The gorgeous couple and their equally gorgeous surroundings are perfectly shot, and every word of dialogue sparkles with meaning. Thoroughly enjoyable and well worth your time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film - the acting and cinematography were beautifully put together. The performances from Cara Theobold and Gethin Anthony were clever and well crafted. I was consistently surprised by the various twists in the screen play. A clever and romantic drama.

What an amazing movie! I saw this at the Nevada City Film Festival and was totally blown away. It's hard to describe: a bit of 'Before Sunrise', a bit of 'Groundhog Day' and then lots of geeky science talk about the multiverse, which seems to feed into the structure of the movie. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before - an amazingly smart script, full of clever little details. But it's also a really touching love story, powered by Cara Theobold's amazing performance. It's gorgeously shot and takes place in a lovely French château. It's also nice and short, and doesn't outstay its welcome. Gorgeous, engaging, funny, smart, genuinely witty and moving.

Presentable cast, playing boring roles, they think they are being very philosophical and what ever but they are not. who does not thin about universe but no one tries to kill themselves with boredom on this topic.
