I first saw 'The Air I Breathe' on a transatlantic flight and it stood out to me amidst the usual chick-flicks and action blockbusters. The film is based on an ancient Chinese proverb that rests on four cornerstones: Happiness, Sorrow, Pleasure and Love. The film interweaves four fables - in a similar manner to films such as 'Crash' and ... Read the complete review

In what is one of the lower key releases of 2008, The Air I Breathe, the feature length debut of Jieho Lee, breaks life down into four cornerstones; happiness, pleasure, sorrow, and love, with an actor and their scenario representing each. The Air I Breathe ... Read the complete review

Hyperlink films (playing interwoven storylines between multiple characters) are so fun to watch. When they are handled correctly with the appropriate characters, a smart plot and convincing links, they can turn out to be a fascinating, unforgettable experience.

I don't think I would have ever have seen this film if I had not read a review on it on this site, the first thing that appealed to me was the fact that it had such a huge range of amazing actors within the film, so it could either turn out brilliant or crap. I didn't know what to expect with this film, I have to say, I didn't know if I ... Read the complete review

Added this to my online rental list after seeing a trailer on another film I watched. I watched it one evening not really knowing what to expect as could not remember much from the trailer and annoyingly it did not have a description on the DVD slip. The film looks at the feelings of sorrow, love, happiness and pleasure. ... Read the complete review

I didn't think that I could watch a very complicated drama when I saw this DVD in the rack, but because I saw Andy Garcia in it, I took it anyway. I know that I have this bad habit, but this movie didn't disappoint me at all. The fate linked people who doesn't know each other, the timid man who bet all his life in a horse race, a ...
