Roman (2006)
Tragic and Beautiful
Being a huge fan of the movie May, I was ecstatic in waiting for Roman's release. Upon watching it, I had incredibly mixed feelings on it, but decided I was in love anyway. The character does not have a lot of buildup. You don't get a lot of understanding behind the reclusive character of Roman, or why he's so withdrawn. Roman has a strangely endearing quality about him. Some points you think he's so weird that if you encountered him you'd flee in holy terror, and at other times, you'd embrace him and feed him cookies because he's so lonely and sad. The Girl ("Isis" played by Kristen Bell) was, in my opinion, nothing more than an irritatingly obnoxious object with a bad haircut. Her short time in the film was perfect, just so we didn't have to suffer through more of her. I definitely thought that Eva was much more of a lust-worthy subject for Roman to pursuit. Strange and Lovely. But definitely touched in the head. I was, admittedly, disappointed in the ending.
