Beautiful, elegaic, poignant, poetic - what can I say about this film version of James Joyce's short story? All is transient. Human being alone are capable of knowing this, and so all our joys are tinged with sorrow, while great sorrow can also bring a sense of transcendence that is almost like joy. Longing is the purest human emotion. This film is a miracle, because it does the impossible and captures that.
