It was kind of disappointing. There is a very nice cast (Kevin Bacon, Julie Delpy, Brendan Fraser, Andy Garcia, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Emile Hirsch, Forest Whitaker) and I liked the directing but the story doesn't work very well. Too bad because it had some potential.
Description:The Air I Breathe is based on an old Chinese proverb that breaks life down into four emotional cornerstones: Happiness, Pleasure, Sorrow and Love.
