Очень рекомендую. Будет идти в BFI еще неделю-две.

I really liked the film and it still stays with me. No profound afterthoughts really, but I am left with the dense feeling of complexity of life.
Lack of simple recipes.
Feeling that somehow everything has it's place. Great love and great hatred, jealousy, beauty, loyalty. Richness of life. And in all this richness - sometimes profound personal choices and sometimes mere accidents that decide your future, your history, your personal participation, your thread in this tapestry.

And a huge contrast between the children with no baggage, no weight on their shoulders, no history behind and their grandparents - with circles and circles of years, memories, mistakes, burns.

Great scene of children touching the flower in the garden. Scene lingers - yes, for children there is no concept of time, they are absorbed in the current moment.
Same way as their grandparents are absorbed in the painful past.

Absolute beauty of a film.
