A shattering film called Open Hearts (2002) made me appreciate that every day is a miraculous gift and that the proper stance toward life is warm hearted gratitude, as well as an awareness that you are a mote in currents beyond your control. I still think of it as the most (the only?) “grown up” movie I’ve ever seen in its incredible realism. I saw it many years ago in an art house theater, but oddly have never even heard a mention of it since.
