Then he opens up to her that he is about to accept a corporate job so they can move to the suburbs and she can become his kept (house-)wife, totally giving up on his aspirations to break through as a writer, and also on her theatrical ambitions. She instead wants to go to New York for half a year to star in an off-Broadway show. So their relationship stants on rocky grounds to put it mildly, and to some extent Jules has had enough of James, but he's deeply devoted to her and would do whatever it takes to save their relationship - even if with him "whatever it takes" takes an at time very dark turn ...<p> <p>Let's address the elephant in the room first, the majority of the movie is shot in one single take that clocks in at 97 minutes - which is in itself quite a feat ... but that said, technical achievements do not necessarily make good movies. But fortunately, <b>This is Your Song</b> has more to offer than just endurance on the cinematographer's behalf, as the camerawork is also really dynamic and offers the audience with a truly cinematic experience, which of course is also helped by the aesthetics of the film's set design and costumes. And the script is as clever as it is engaging and thought-provoking, without ever forgetting to entertain. And the film's stage-trained leads are more than up to carry the film rather beatifully, making this a pretty unique experience.<p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2023"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
