Enduring Love (UK, 2004)

A tragic hot air balloon accident changes the life of the main character in this movie. Director Roger Michell has created a psycho stalker thriller with a very romantic title. After trying in vain to save two people in a hot air balloon gone out of control, our main character feels guilty about what happened, and especially the fact that he couldn't save the two people in the air balloon. He then meets another guy who was there at the time of the accident. It turns out this guy is obsessed with our main character. He stalks him, tells him that he loves him, etc., and at the end follows his fiancé and threatens her. At times a little slow, the story becomes more interesting near the end, where we see the real consequences created by a traumatic experience. A nice psycho thriller.
