There's nothing like a love story that leaves you feeling sullen and depressed. This doesn't mean that the story is a bad one, in fact, quite the opposite, and has succeeded in doing what all forms of art are meant to do--make you feel something. I had the day off, and in an attempt to keep up with my Netflix, watched the 2006 film version of Tristan and Isolde. I thought it was a beautifully made film, with very pretty music and an interestingly pale color palette. I was unfamiliar with the original story, and now (as usual) want to do some more research on other versions. It's very emotional, and that really came through in this film and leaves you hurting for the three major players in the story. You do get a little taste of what happened after the story before it cuts to the credits and their accompyaning heart-wrenching melody. Bravo.
Can't wait to see what Netflix sends to me next...
