THE NOTEBOOK (2004)

NICK CASSAVETES

Plot

Allie and Noah are teenagers in love, and that's real love not the first crush of youth puppy love stuff, but they live in a society ruled by class and are from different sides of the railway track. Reunited several years later it quickly becomes obvious that the fire is still very much alive and Allie finds herself forced to choose between the man she loved, fought and spent a summer of love with as a teenager or a handsome upper class fiancee, a rich and decent man, whom she likes a lot, and with a rarefied position within society. 'The Notebook' is a beautifully tender love story, told in flashback, as visually sumptuous as it is heart-rending.
