Be with Me 2005

Be With Me (2005)    Three separate stories about love and solitude.  An elderly shopkeeper is lonely after the loss of his wife and his son introduces him to an extraordinary blind and deaf woman.  A teenage girl struggles with the heartbreak of the loss of her love.  A security guard is infatuated with a professional woman but too intimidated to approach her. 
    This is a very quiet understated and moving film, especially the the story of the blind and deaf woman.  Another important element of human connection is also featured, the cooking and eating of food.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

93 min, Drama, directed by Eric Khoo with Theresa Poh Lin Chan, Chiew Sung Ching, Lawrence Young.  Filmed in Singapore.
Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 7.2 out of 10, 90% critic 82% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
