Spectacularly photographed in Australia and hauntingly atmospheric in theme, Till Human Voices Wake Us teams Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential ) and Helena Bonham Carter (Fight Club, The Wings of the Dove ) in a compelling supernatural romance. Pearce plays Dr. Sam Franks, an emotionally troubled psychologist who is travelling home to bury his father in the small Australian town where he was raised. It is an emotional journey that forces him to confront the memories of a long-ago summer that ended in tragedy -- an incident that continues to torment him in his adult life. During the journey, he encounters Ruby (Carter), a beautiful, mysterious young woman with a secret past. Is Ruby real? Or is she a ghost -- a manifestation -- that Sam has created to allow him to say goodbye to a heartbreaking passage in his life?

Muy diferente a lo que encuentra uno en cartelera. Me encantó su aire de misterio, el que la mayor parte de la película suceda de noche, el personaje de E.B.C. y la tragedia que subyace en la vida sinsentido del personaje principal a pesar de las apariencias, el poema de T.S.Elliot y el vestido verde. El sentido de precariedad en la vida, la expiación y la muerte como otra forma de vivir: existimos mientras haya alguien que nos recuerde, mientras alguien tenga sentimientos hacia uno. También me gustó el ritmo de la pelicula, tan lejos de Hollywood.

Hate lack of attribution. It's from T.S.Eliot, "Till human voices wake us and we drown." OMG! Just watched trailer and yet more Eliot! "Do I dare? And do I dare"? What's annoying is (copyright?) they never finish a quote. "Do I dare, and do I dare disturb the inverse?" What is WRONG with these paltry plagiarists?

Moving and touching.
