The streets of Edinburgh feature prominently in the latest drama from Oscar®-winner Giuseppe Tornatore (Cinema Paradiso). Astrophysics student and part-time stunt woman Amy (Olga Kurylenko) is deeply entangled in a six-year love affair with her tutor, the eminent Professor Ed Phoerum (Jeremy Irons). Forced to live apart they conduct most of their relationship via phone or computer screen, but when Ed's messages continue to arrive after his shock disappearance, the film seamlessly evolves into a profoundly moving contemplation of the true nature of endless love and loss.

Giuseppe Tornatore will always be my blood type, and even though he chose what seems like a simple story this time, he managed to fully captivate me, and I just watched to see how this peculiar relationship would unfold. I hadn't previously thought that Olga could deliver a greater acting performance, but she did it superbly and overshadowed Jeremy, whom we mainly see through recordings.
