The Air He Breathes

A film intended to be a drama set in a romantic backdrop ended up feeling overly sentimental and clichéd, with scenes that lacked authenticity in portraying genuine love. "The Air He Breathes" topped a Booktok list of "Books that make you ugly cry," and that claim is maybe not an exaggeration for the book - but the film adaptation missed the mark entirely. While I can't speak for grief-stricken widows in the USA, I know a few from around the globe, and they certainly don't behave like the character in this film. Her actions reminded me of a term from the Macedonian language that aptly describes this type of woman: kurozderica!

This film seems tailored for lonely women who prefer to indulge in fantasies rather than confront reality, so let's leave it to them!
