Sometimes when you meet one person ... you feel something. And while I don't necessarily mean love on first sight, it is something similar for sure. And you can see and feel that there is a connection here with the two individuals we see. And to be honest who can blame Anton Yelchin (or his character for that matter),when it comes to the wonderful Lucie Lucas? But as always it is not as easy as it may seem at first.

And just because there is a connection or a spark, does not mean that they both will be able to explore that ... or will they? You may feel that she acts irrational at a certain moment, but you will see that there is more to it. Yes we make decisions that are not always in our own best interest ... especially when it comes to love ... how are we supposed to know at that exact moment? Sometimes it is nice to get a second chance .. will that be the case here?

I admitt - I saw this film especialy for Anton Yelchin. and this motif whas enriched by each scene. because "Porto" is a love story but so special, poetic, delicate , unconventional, old fashion, fascinating, lirical , than it is more than one of many stories about love. because to defines it as an old fashion love film is wrong. it is a subtle, precise and real rare exploration. of yourself. old romancies. people across your life. links who, after decades, remains unique and precious and defining everything from you are. "Porto" is a story about states. as magic expressions. and it is enough. for write a deep trait. in your memory. sure, like others films in which Anton Yelchin gives admirable roles.

After hearing of one of my favorite actor's, Anton Yelchin, passing - I was devastated. I wanted to watch what he had left to be seen beyond his death, film wise.

This was the final movie he filmed before his passing and I was just now able to view it, after wait almost two years...

It is a simple glimpse into a single night, shared between two lovers. It gives a view from each perspective, both before and after their passionate night, and shows how a single night can leave a lingering effect on the heart and soul. Some loves are meant to last and some, like theirs, never gets to live beyond a night. There are no special effects, CGI, or drawn out plot points, which is why this movie communicates more in its hour and ten minute (not including credits) than the standard Hollywood fare.

Created on actual film stock vs. the standard digital format, it gives it a more timeless feel and gives it more warmth. Not to say this is a warm movie - it is heartbreakingly beautiful in its tone and content.

As a fan of Richard Linklater, it reminded me very much of Before Sunrise, but without near as much dialogue. It is also works well as a final goodbye from a tremendously talented actor, who was taken from the world way to soon.
