One Giant Leap: Gravity Is a Thrilling Breakthrough

Details

Gravity
Directed by Alfonso Cuarón
Warner Brothers
Opens October 4

The pivotal event in Gravity is an echo, possibly a conscious one, of the tenderest, most tragic moment in Mission to Mars. Cuarón is even more of a romantic than De Palma, if such a thing is possible. He finds all kinds of ways to link survival in space with life on Earth. There, as here, anyone might have reason to feel loneliness, despair, fear, or exaltation, and homesickness—for a place, a person, a planet—is universal. Gravity is harrowing and comforting, intimate and glorious, the kind of movie that makes you feel more connected to the world rather than less. In space, no one can hear you scream. But a whole audience can hear you breathe. And that is a wondrous thing

@villagevoice @kingkroba saw the premiere...insanely mesmerizing film to watch. Story lacked but the film itself was pure eye candy.
