...civilized, but the truth is, we’re animals, and sometimes you’ve gotta let it out,” Sydney informs Peter after going berserk on a Venice Beach visitor. The lighthearted mood is sustained by sunny California city views and a playful soundtrack including Vampire Weekend and The Flaming Lips. Though “I Love You, Man” tests the foundations on which male companionship stands, it does so without losing itself in unnecessarily heavy social commentary, instead managing to maintain a sense of humor—albeit a sophomoric one?...
...first-rate bar and restaurant. Service, which is never reliable in Russia, is as good as it gets in Moscow. Plus there's the spa, which is run by an English-speaking staff and seems to be permanently infused with the scent of jasmine and a soft, very hip soundtrack that will make you feel younger than you are - which would seem to be the whole point of all those treatments...
...work fails to address the root of the era’s ubiquitous despair. Joon is constantly surrounded by a group of young runaways, yet the impetus for this youth exodus is never explored.

Definitely wash the shabu down with one of the bar’s stellar plum, raspberry, or lychee saketinis which, trust me when I say, will prove a real lifesaver as your steam bath progresses. The other menu...
...offer a fresh take on perhaps the most depicted subject in the arts: love. The tale lacks sensational dialogue, a rapidly moving plot, and easily recognizable actors. There is also a noticeable lack of interference on the part of Kechiche; the movie does not have a dramatic soundtrack, for instance, that would attempt to evoke specific reactions and emotions in the audience. These subtle directorial choices might fail to lure the average viewer, but those who open their hearts to the life of a man working at a fishing boat dock will likely find themselves steadily absorbed in his relationships...
