Four short fables in which characters collide with fate – and each other – comprise "The Air I Breathe," an ambitious and absorbing drama from debuting director/writer Jieho Lee. Boasting a brilliant ensemble cast, the film is inspired by a Chinese proverb that breaks life down into four key emotions – Happiness, Sorrow, Pleasure, and Love – and each vignette is built around a character who embodies one of these key emotions.

Movie Review
Grade: C+
Kevin Bacon, Julie Delpy, Brendan Fraser, Andy Garcia, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Emile Hirsch and Forest Whitaker all star in The Air I Breathe, a new drama recently released to DVD. With a cast like that, it's a little surprising that ThinkFilm didn't give this film a wider release (it opened in limited theaters in January). Beyond the marketing potential of this Crash-like picture, though, it's completely understandable why most people have never heard of this picture, nor ever will.
