An excellent and profound movie, large screen essential.  I take this movie to be an engagement with the truths of German romanticism (set in Marburg, with Geothe and Rilke as relevant texts), and asking whether that romanticism decays over time, or simply morphs into new forms and thus renews itself, even in an age of high tech and near-universal measurement.  The narrative swings back and forth between those two views like a pendulum, ultimately settling upon the notion of continuation.  Was perhaps Stevie Wonder an influence too?  The great Tony Leung stars, here is a trailer.  Reviews are very positive but they do not seem to understand the film well?
