CGiii Comment

3 unconnected stories with minimal dialogue and sleep-inducing music.

The critics loved it...inexplicable.

Slow, uncompelling - nothing special.

Some will be shocked that this hasn't been appreciated - but, to stay awake throughout the whole 90 minutes is akin to enforced sleep deprivation.

Apologies, but...art for art's sake - and all that - plot, dialogue, acting are somewhat important in movie-making.

"Be with me" consists of three stories of love vs. solitude : 1)An aging, lonesome shopkeeper doesn't believe in life any more since his wife died. But he is saved from desperation by reading an autobiographical book and meeting its author, a deaf and blind lady of his own age. 2)Fatty, a security guard in his fifties, lives for two things : good food and love for a pretty executive living in his block of flats. But, if it is easy to satisfy his first need winning the heart of the distant belle is a horse of another color. 3)Two teenage schoolgirls get to know each other on the Internet. Soon they fall in love.
