This is a romantic movie about a slightly eccentric artistic man, Fletcher McBracken, who dreams of his soul mate and than proceeds to go out and find her. "I saw this face in a dream, does that seem....peculiar to you?" Once he's found Rosalyn though, the tricky part comes in. He has to convince her that he really is her one true love.
MY REVIEW
In a word, MAGICAL. One of my favorite Brendan films by far. Still Breathing is the entire package, beautiful camera work, excellent scenery, the background music helps tell the story, and a delightful romantic storyline as well. There's a lot of people that just love this film, and I can see why. First viewing you won't get it fully, this one takes a few viewings, but once you see the small details, you tend to fall for both the movie and Fletcher.
Fave Quote
"Roz, if you were going..who would you want to kiss you goodbye?"
Fave Scene
Without a doubt this is the part of the movie taking place in the "Ida room". Roz attempting to seduce Fletcher and him telling her about his "devious plan".
The scene in front of the Rose Window is a close second.
Quotable Brendan
"We had a superstition about the necklace I wore," he says. "When I took it off to make another movie, the film went into limbo for the longest time. Then I put it back on, and the producer called me up and said, 'Guess what! We got distribution." ~On the necklace he wore in SB
I wrote a story based loosely around Still Breathing. Fletcher's Eve Click on the title to visit it.
