I did not have the (mis)fortune of reading "Never Let Me Go," a para-science fiction novel by the Japanese writer Kazuo Ishiguro (2005) from which the subject for the cinematic adaptation by Chicagoan director and video maker Mark Romanek was derived. Therefore, I cannot say whether the integrity of the literary work was effectively translated onto celluloid.
What I can say is that what is observed within these brief (or perhaps infinite) hundred and twenty minutes is as much cruel as it is pitiless, despite the disconcerting peace and lightness that characterizes the protagonists' lives.
The ineffable intertwining of incomplete destinies is portrayed by a cast of young yet effective actors (Andrew Garfield, Carey Mulligan, and Keira Knightley) for a stern metaphor on the role of individuals within modern society.
Ruthless. Indeed.
