Review of Heaven

Heaven (I) (2002)
3/10
far-fetched, kooky and unbelievable

Warning: Spoilers
yes, i've seen Kieslowski's films and understand the intent...but this movie was just plain unbelievable. the opening was so promising! you anticipate so much--especially when Philippa is stunned, during her interrogation, by the fact that she's killed four innocent people and not her intended target. but, come on! what ensues is just plain nuttiness! this kid/man/boy that helps her, the roaming around the Italian countryside, the helicopter scene...too much kookiness to make it likable or believable. the scenery and cinematography are beautiful but it should have been a national geographic special--without the weird and unbelievable story. "The Decalogue" is what you should be seeing--for a good storyline, bold statement and good writing.
