But if that makes this elegiac literalization of the timeless theme of \u201cwhat is grief but love persevering?\u201d a rather edgeless experience it\u2019s not a wholly unpleasant one. Less designed to provoke than to soothe, perhaps the very familiarity of much of the movie is a virtue, letting us enjoy its sleek surfaces safe in the knowledge that there\u2019s nothing much lurking in the depths to alarm us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Indeed, the story\u2019s central alarming incident has happened some time before the film even begins: a car crash for which Sal (Gael Garc\u00eda Bernal) believes he was responsible and in which his wife died. Unable to cope with his guilt and grief, Sal resorts to replaying her memories \u2014 a tech which this near-future society has perfected \u2014 and even attempts suicide. His sister Ebe (B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Bejo), who is suspiciously tireless in her efforts to comfort him, encourages him to use the services of the company she works for, Another End. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    At the company\u2019s big gleaming facility, they can download a dead person\u2019s memories into a consenting \u201chost\u201d essentially reanimating them in a different body. For a short time, you can have your loved one back. Apparently not realizing that we don\u2019t tend to make the best decisions while in the throes of grief, and expressly against the wishes of his shattered father-in-law, Sal eventually agrees to the procedure. Lucky for him, the \u201ccompatible\u201d body found to house his dead partner Zoe, is that of Ava (Renate Reinsve), whom we later learn is a s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>per in a high-end fetish club who is carrying traumas and secrets of her own.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Aside from the obvious questions like whether someone\u2019s memories really <em>are<\/em> them, and whether you would be able to be in the same love with a person in a different body, there are a bunch of ethical, practical and philosophical issues that this process throws up. Messina and his three co-writers Valentina Gaddi, Sebastiano Melloni and Giacomo Bendotti try rather inelegantly to account for them, by making up a mess of rules and conditions that don\u2019t seem particularly based in the movie\u2019s (fictional) <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>, many of which are delivered to us in explanatory speeches by Ebe\u2019s sinister co-worker Doctor Doyle (Pal Aron), who apparently got his PhD in Exposition. So the download is only for a pre-arranged number of \u201csessions\u201d \u2014 just enough, the company claims, to allow you to say a proper farewell, as though those exist. Hosts do not remember their own real lives while they are hosting, and do not remember their sessions when they return. Technicians come and pick up the host when they go to sleep so they can wake up, back as themselves in a big warehouse facility for no other real reason than that all the hosts unzipping and emerging from their white plastic cocoons makes for a coolly dystopian sci-fi image. And so on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    There\u2019s a little of Kathryn Bigelow\u2019s \u201cStrange Days\u201d here, a little of \u201cThe Sixth Sense\u201d (an impression reinforced by the presence of Olivia Williams, playing another Another End client) and a lot of \u201cEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.\u201d But there are also less exalted touchpoints like \u201cSurrogates\u201d and other, better films from the more intimate end of the scale such as Christos Nikou\u2019s \u201cApples.\u201d But one way \u201cAnother End,\u201d falls short of the pantheon it references, is that Messina appears less interested in the psychological effect that having more time with a vanished loved one would actually have on the grieving process, and more concerned with piling on the kind of twists that genre-literate viewers will likely have guessed long in advance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Still, Messina\u2019s studied, elegant filmmaking \u2014 already on display, like his preoccupation with grief, in his debut feature \u201cThe Wait\u201d \u2014 lends a kind of smooth gravitas even to the parts of the story that least earn it, with Fabrizio La Palombara\u2019s classy cinematography and Bruno Falanga\u2019s achy, nostalgic score, peppered with soundtrack cuts that sound vaguely like something you remember hearing before, especially useful in that regard. And Bernal and Reinsve have such watchable faces \u2014 his all handsome and haunted, hers as fresh as a portrait on which the paint hasn\u2019t yet dried \u2014 that it almost makes sense of the final shift in the film\u2019s axis. As \u201cAnother End\u201d moves into, well, yet another end, all the sci-fi scaffolding, rickety to begin with, falls away and its true intentions becomes clear. Though Sal and Ava\u2019s relationship might necessitate a new <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> status option as \u201cit\u2019s complicated\u201d really doesn\u2019t cover it, the movie itself is simply a romance, just one that Messina takes an extraordinarily long way round to get to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
