Matthew D @OceanSage May 14 A really fascinating, original crime narrative with 4 interconnected stories. Korean-American director Jieho Lee’s arthouse neo-noir crime drama anthology The Air I Breathe (2007) is absolutely enthralling. I was thinking about random chance versus fate and how it affects people’s lives. Brendan Fraser is awesome, sweet, and thoughtful as Pleasure, who can see the future. I love the romance drama between him and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Sorrow. Sarah Michelle Gellar is gorgeous and very moving as the popstar Trista, who is the human metaphor for Sorrow in the movie. Gellar’s makeup makes her look like Avril Lavigne here, while Trista’s pains are eerily similar to what Britney Spears had to endure. Forest Whitaker is wonderful as Happiness, who makes an unfortunate horse bet and goes into debt with Andy Garcia’s ruthless mob boss Fingers. Kevin Bacon is fabulous as the kind doctor Love, who loves Julie Delpy’s pretty researcher Gina. She’s so stunning here.

Overall, this is a well acted, super interesting tale of intersecting stories that never gets boring and is surprisingly heart felt at the same time.

The mystery of how life evolves for us all, is broached. Made me think about my life & how I got to where I am.

Garcia was stuck in a permanent hissy fit. Whitaker was a knot of sweating, grimacing anxiety Geller, at her most unsympathetic and wooden, ends up imitating a hood ornament, outlined against the dawn, complete with many yards of flowing fabric. Laughably pretentious. Unbelievable that this was made. Somebody lost their shirt or just needed a tax write off. But I watched it. The things I do for Brendan. He looked good. Pretty darn good.
