There is something very very special about this movie. Sure Leo is completely nuts in his mission to pursue Colette. Buts that is only a fragment of the actual plot, like the glue between the pieces.
Mostly I love this movie for everything it achieves, the scenery is beautiful and magnificent, and it plays so well into the story. From his fear of hights, to her love for nature. And I have never before in my life watched a movie in witch I did like every character. To the Troys trying to defend their friend yet still being professional with the gallery, to Julie and her need to find someone to climb mountains for her.
No scene or shot is boring, fore they all seem to have a bigger purpose. This movie has so many red threads and symbols yet they all tie into a beautiful knot at the end.
I also love how this movie has no rushed decisions. Colette did not even consider Leo until she found out that her husband did not respect her viewes on the renovation project, as he stood talking to a man he knew she despised.
Leo did not follow Colette like a lost puppy, instead he showed her that he was interested in getting to know her. He went on her four of her tours and listened to her views, but he stayed stubborn. Following his heart, trying so hard to make her see in him what he saw in her. When she punches him in the faces you do not feel sad for the guy. It is rightfully what he deserves. But his apology in sunflowers is the first sign that he might not be so wrong for her.
She needs a break after her divorce and she tells him that she did not leave her husband for him he leaves her alone, respecting her and listening to her Leo finally setts his stubbornness aside to please her request. Then in curiosity she picks up his book and fortunately falls in love with him through his words. In the end she is the one chasing him.
What I mentioned above, the whitty jokes and amazing humor is what makes this movie special. In my opinion this movie did not need a happy ending to be a 10/10, but I am still happy I got one.
