Rarely does a film inspire me to take notes. I filled nearly a page of my sketchbook with notes and sketches. I watched the film on recommendation from a teacher for a project I'm developing. I started by paying close attention to 'relevant' details and was quickly caught up in the conversation entirely.
The plot is simple. A politician (presidential candidate) calls his brother, the poet, because he's disillusioned and needs a break. The politician visits his brother in France and they visit an amazing castle-island in northern France, where they meet the scientist (and her daughter), and have a long philosophical discussion about the structure or system of reality and mankind's (especially Americans) role in nature.
I recommend this to anyone that has philosophical thoughts. Highly recommend it to politicians, scientists, artists, ministers (religious leaders), and designers - it should be required viewing for us. It's a good discussion and I wish we all had conversations like this more often.
