Love (2011)

Just watched this for the first time today and have to say that I really liked it.  It's not going to be everybody's cup of tea but for those of us that grew up watching 2001 and Silent Running, it's a reassuringly slow and thoughtful piece of sci-fi that will stay with you as you try to make sense of it all.  For the record I agree with every quote on the poster above.

  1. Once again we see our old friend the russian Gsh-6A pressure suit helmet,these are proving pretty popular amongst the low budget film makers who need a convincing spacesuit prop,and thanks to ebay they`re actually pretty cheap and they do look the part too,heres some good pics of it

    1. Interestingly, it's almost a bit of a sore thumb in Love, because they've made it look like there's a lot of money on the screen (relatively), and my one minor gripe was that they didn't find a few more $'s to create a more original suit and helmet. It deserved something a little more futuristic and sleek to go with the films polished cinematography.
