  Review:

  Again, sucker for a great love story...and 2 of my favorite actors. Their characters are opposites in love; Billy Crudup is an aspiring politician, while Jennifer Connelly is a liberal activist (1970s). After she is killed in a car bombing during a trip to Chile (first scenes of the movie, so no real spoiler), he is devastated...and throughout his career is haunted by her memory. (The movie takes place both in present time, 1980's, and flashbacks of their relationship in the 70's). What clinches the movie for me is that at the climax of the movie, Peter Gabriel's Mercy Street is played, which also happens to be one of my favorite songs (hauntingly beautiful). It's perfect for the scene. It's one of those movies where you can interpret the ending in a couple different ways, which sometimes bugs me, but I think this one is brilliant. Intense, mysterious love story.
