Where the Wild Things Are

I just came back from watching Where the Wild Things Are by Spike Jonze. I don't remember liking anything this much in a really long time, my heart was racing with joy and excitement. It's got a really quirky take on the way of looking at things with the purest bits of your heart, not your eyes and brain. And does it have the best visuals anyone's seen in a really long time. Let's not forget also the really atmospheric soundtrack by Karen O (and the Kids) and Carter Burwell.

My personal favourite scene? When Max is riding the ship along the waves of his blue blanket, my heart breaks.
