A Good Year in Metaphorland

This film takes you on a metaphorical journey as the romance between Bodie and Constance develops, faces obstacles, and endures. Each chapter creatively symbolizes a new stage in their relationship and causes the audience to consider the walls we put up because of our fear of disappointment and how we can instead open up our heart to the nonsensical yet essential need for connection. Thought-provoking at times and playful at other moments, this movie even has a delightful dance sequence between the amorous pair and time travel. A fantastic voyage indeed!

Two young people meet, fall in love, have conflicts and find resolutions. Sounds familiar, but each scene has a special twist that brings a different perspective to this couple and their relationship--and to the lives of others. Often very funny, sometimes very moving, the imaginative turns of the story are enhanced by the convincing chemistry between the two leads.
