Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006)


An American romantic fantasy by Goran Dukic.
A young man kills himself and goes to a world that is just like ours, only shittier. He befriends a man at a bar who was a musician. Later he finds out that his girlfriend committed suicide as well and the 2 friends go looking for her. They pick up a young woman who is hitchhiking and looking for the People In Charge so that she can go back to being alive because she accidentally killed herself. I'll let you infer the ending instead of outright spoiling it.
Such style! Such grace! I didn't believe it was possible in America! This reminds me of Y Tu Mama Tambien, Amores Perros and Amelie, all foreign films. Everything fits together so nicely and smoothly. The plot, the characters, the style... so cohesive that it makes me want to watch it for the first time again right after it finishes. This is a keeper, folks. I rate it best and you need to watch it!
