Tim: You fuck lots of women. Have you ever truly loved one?
Richard: I love them all. Can't love them all if you only love one.
Tim: If that's true, that's interesting.
Richard: Yeah. You want to know what I think, Timothy? When they really get to see me, I don't like what they see.
Tim: You make sure of that.

Dark meditation on middle age regret

A film as powerful as it is disturbing, I Melt With You is for those of us who loved "requiem for a dream," "old boy," "irreversible," and "eraserhead" for their darker truths. The four anti heroes here are the people we know if we open our eyes and look around. Intentionally bleak, it takes a cold look at a group of men who have made bad choices in their lives and come face to face with them. Not everyone is honest enough to admit the vast difference between who they said they would be and what they actually became. These characters are. And what makes I Melt With You even more disturbing is the backdrop of Big Sur. It is the ugliness of living set against the power and beauty of nature. I found this movie incredibly moving and original, but, like the movies above, it is not for everyone. Oh, the soundtrack is the best I've heard in years.
