"Music from Another Room"

"Music from Another Room" is a rather weird romantic movie. When 5 year old Danny helps to deliver Anna - don't ask... - into this world, he announces that he will marry her. 25 years later, fate has brought him back to deliver on his promise. Will he? Won't he? Jude Law (Danny) has balls of steel in dealing with Gretchen Mol (Anna), but even the coin with heads on both sides does not guarantee a win against a woman. (Guys, never bet with a girl, they always win!). Jennifer Tilly plays Anna's blind sister Nina with her own set of neuroses. Funky mother and father with a flair for Russian literature and "Anna Karenina" in particular round out the set. So is there any doubt that we will see a train station and a train? Though nicely weird with a few great one liners, the movie is also rather uneven. For example, it never decides which decade it is happening in. Hairdos are 60's, neighborhood bakeries are 70's, aggressive women's lib is 80's and cars are from 90's. Don't even get me started about mosaic restoration project in a church of a small (?) town in USA... Character relationship edges are similarly written too fast and without sufficient details. Now they hate, now they love, now they marry, now they don't. And I am not even talking about Anna and Denny. 7/10 for a beautiful description of true love though.
