Love is absurd. Heaven is absurd. A movie about love and heaven may also be absurd or render the absurdity of love and heaven as palpable, revealing and refreshing. This movie truncates two lifetimes into two hours and leaves you with the sense that, for at least some of us, love is all that more powerful when we allow for the supernatural, the absurd components, to mix with biology. The fascinating consideration is that the woman was made (four-letter word for conceived) in Heaven and only subsequently was earth-bound. The existentialism is indeed fascinating in spite of the temporal truncation. As the poet Michael Biscardi has written, "There are some truths that serve where facts do not."
