THE FIVE SENSES is an ambitious drama that covers three days in the life of several Toronto residents. As the search for a missing child captures the city's attention, five individuals who live in the same apartment building each explore the five senses--touch, smell, taste, sound, and sight--and, in doing so, come to terms with issues that have recently plagued them. With its overall belief that love is the most important sensation of all, Jeremy Podeswa's film is thoughtful and engaging, featuring another standout performance by Mary-Louise Parker. [Less]

You'll probably think in a new way about the sounds and the music, the look of places and people, how much or little you take note of the scents and sensations of daily life.
