Yeah that soundtrack was just fucking annoying. The music too sweet and superficial. And the vocals somehow kind of ugly. This made the super simple story long-winded. I already hated the movie.

Until I decided, about halfway, to turn off the sound and speed up the film a bit (1.5 x +-). Much better! In my head I heard actors speaking. And the voices in the silence sounded much more beautiful and effective in my head. Then suddenly I noticed, also because of the speed, that the images were very beautiful here and there. I also found the ending (surprisingly) effective.

Even after review, I am not impressed. The sung dialogues are of course very special and the Douglas Sirk-like settings are beautiful, but they cannot hide the fact that it is actually just a simple film with a meager love story. The musical theme is a very beautiful melody.
