Atonement

Artistic Masterpiece.

I love this film for its ability to operate on two levels - as a poetic portrait of human emotions under the most stressful and taxing of circumstances, and as a superb example of filmmaking (from a relatively young artist.) I, unlike some others, didn't find the Nolan-esque plot twists to be gimmicky and that unbroken Steadicam shot on the beach is art. Plus, this film is about a period of time that fascinates me - when social norms often controlled the responses people were able to exhibit to very real tragedies.
