Heaven (I) (2002)
6/10
Great cinematography, but Not Enough Plot
6 October 2021
Beautiful cinematography, the biggest highlight of the movie is how its filmed and the actors that really bring it to life. As always Kate Blenchett is gorgeous and her acting is stunning. She really outshines everyone in the film with her beauty and how well she takes on the role of Philippa who is seeking justice for the death of her husband. Blanchett really went all out on her role as she shaved her head in real life in the film. Out of all the movies I've seen Giovanni Ribisi in this one was by far his best. He is usually really off beat and picks roles where he is psychotically crazy, so it was nice to see him act almost "normal" as he takes on the role of a very serious officer.

As for the script and plot of the film, there's not much to it which can make it boring. Most of the movie is dialogue and expressions to show character, there isn't a lot of action scenes, love scenes or in depth story that progresses and developes. The movie starts off in Italian then adds in some English, giving a mixed movie of Italian and English - be prepared to read lots of subtitles.
