Perfect Sense - Official Trailer [HD]

If like me you are bored to death with sundry CGI-heavy visions of the apocalypse, the very intimacy of this modest Glasgow-set production provides a far more affecting account of the sum of all fears. The best film to date! Is astutely pitched as a playful, even poetic riposte to familiar celluloid intimations of mortality, yet it’s also a serious and powerful musing on what makes us human. Yes, the love story is obvious, but the performers carry it off, while the prime frissons emerge from writer Kim Fupz Aakeson’s resonant imagining of where we’d be  without smell, hearing, sight... Thrillingly ambitious, ecstatically romantic, utterly unexpected.
