Clicked as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Knew exactly what scene this is from in a heartbeat. I would love to see the movie again, and then again. Celine is magnificent.

I saw this film a second time, and I was absolutely astonished by the sheer anticipation I felt in seeing Heloise's face... which I had already seen in the trailer and the first watch of the film. That's when I knew for certain this was the most well-made film I've ever seen. How do you do that? How did she do that. Even when she tells you, it's still incredible and mind-boggling. If other films are a bit like seeing a magician on stage, where learning the trick takes the magic out of it, this is like Cirque Du Soleil: It doesn't matter how much you know. Your brain will still experience something so far to the exceptional edge of human ability the same way.

Bro I feel ya! I have this thing where I know a film is beyond great when I have the desire to be able to wipe my memory of the film so that I can experience the film again for the first time... But in my second viewing of this film, I still went through the falls and the awe, with even greater depth, almost as if I was more present and less anticipating. Like you said, the experience was still beyond my 'ability', or it still felt as if I was on the cusp of discovery. Great film :_)
