Favorite Quote from the Film


"What ... is a saint?
A saint is someone who has achieved remote human possibility.
A saint does not dissolve the chaos. It is a kind of balance that is his glory.
For something in him so loves the world that he gives himself to the laws of gravity and chance.
Far from flying with the angels, his house is dangerous and finite.
For he can love the shape of human beings and the fine and twisted contours of the heart.
He is a balancing monster of love."

Agreed. This quote (derived, I believe Ryan Ward said, from Leonard Cohen's "Beautiful Losers") works so wonderfully with the with that sequence towards the end of the film. The imagery, the music, everything about that sequence is genius.
