Caught My Blueberry Nights at vivo with YP and J after dinner today, and I absolutely love it; well worth the $9.50. I am so glad I decided not to heed the bad reviews I got from some of my friends. A whimsical love story, or more accurately a whimsical story about a love story about to happen, gorgeously shot as you would expect from Wong Kar Wai - wide aperture atmospheric scenes, it begins(and ends) in New York where we find Jeremy(Jude Law), running a cafe. Jeremy meets a broken hearted Elizabeth, played by Norah Jones. She confides in him, and as her relationship with her cheating boyfriend breaks down, she spends long nights at the cafe after closing time, talking to him, eating blueberry pie. Then she abruptly leaves on a journey which takes her thousands of miles across America.. Along the way she waitresses at small town diners; at a casino, where she meets interesting characters; their stories and the long journey across the country, along which she makes sense of her feelings and experiences by sending postcards back to Jeremy who misses her and desperately tries to get her by calling all the diners in all the places that the postcards come from, to no avail , help her to finally move on and find her true self, taking her full circle back to the cafe back to New York where Jeremy is waiting.
Like what they say, travel is the best way to mend a broken heart.
