Mother And Son

February 24, 2010 - 9:32 pm No Comments

Mother And Son An hour and ten minutes of a young mother loved facilitating their death as a rest as he can handle. They are in bed together (note that Sokurov subtly introduces the movement in the film), he comforts her, he takes a walk in the woods.

Then they return. Sale only. She dies.

Cry. There is a lot like a basis for a movie, and yet mankind is here, with occasional cuts to start shooting in the mountains and forests remind us that life and death is everywhere (and perhaps encourages us to look for symbolic readings of the film, too).

Painfully beautiful, trance-like film. Note also another film Sokurov’Una humble life “is included in the extras (although in reality more than five minutes” Mother and Child ‘).

And one drawback: the film was not well transferred to disk from a German print, with some random badly translated subtitles. Sokurov and his film deserves better treatment, especially a company with a reputation for Artificial Eye.

The Apple

February 12, 2010 - 2:07 am No Comments

Although storng still has a sense of the surreal and disturbing it is a lot more exciting and moving film from a first expected. After opening to mislead the attention of the homes on the movie girls of the first afternoon of freedom, learning to interact, play and make friends, capturing perfectly and brilliantly funny how children behave.

It’s amazing to see the family who were involved in the original case to perform as themselves, each performance becomes an awsome so completely devoid of self consciousness is baffaling to wonder how the director persuaded young increadably relive their experiences entirely convincing. The film is, of course, much more than a strange domestic drama, which is an impassioned plea against isolationism, religious conservatism and repressive attitude that Iran is moving towards and a hymn to freedom and life. Surprising in every sense.

Histoires De Marie Et Julien

January 30, 2010 - 12:57 am No Comments

Histoires De Marie Et Julien I am in the neck for the selection of foreign and sub-titled films, and this election has torn my status as a selector of the film …. it is Emmanuele Beart Emmanuelle Beart, but in reality? How about a movie that has either engaging characters, or a strong storyline, a good music score, or even a strong action / Set-piece element.

This movie had none, and trying to see it was a form of cruel and inhuman. Jerzy Radziwilowicz looking grumpy and smoking loads of fags is not rivets. I know this movie gets good reviews - I suppost must be me!

ps my wife liked it even less …

Three Times

January 2, 2010 - 2:36 am No Comments

While I am generally a fan of world cinema, this was spectacular so boring that will be memorable for me. This is clearly one of those love or hate the movies when you look at the reviews for it.

The film consists of 3 floors with the same 2 main actors used throughout. The first story from A Time for Love is at least bearable. Set in 1966 focuses on the foundation of love between a young officer and a girl who works in the pool halls.

Common throughout the film as a whole is a total lack of character development and dialogue. In fact I could not even Three Times support the second floor A Time for Freedom and fast forwarded after the first 10 minutes or less.

It was based in 1911 and refers to a courtesan and her client. They played like a silent movie with the most horrendous soundtrack, was unbearable.

The last story A Time for Youth was founded in 2005 and focuses on a love triangle between a photographer and epileptic singer / musician and his girlfriend. The story is disinteresting and going nowhere. In my opinion, do not bother renting this.

If you see an Asian love story through time that would be much better than the rental of Wong Kar Wai, In the Mood for Love.

Dans Paris

Dans Paris I saw this yesterday I have to say I really enjoyed it. I like the rarity of French films and I thought that this film, together with an interesting story of family relations and specifically the relationship between 2 brothers.

The whole family is a new situation (without giving away the story) that develops through the film. It doesn’t set the world on fire but it certainly ended the movie thinking that it was good and could even see again in the future.

good characters, plot, good quality, good but simple, which is developed in a unique French style. To see yourself and see what you think.

Suzhou River

Lou Ye has created a diverting tale of very unpromising materials. This is not the Shanghai Pudong, the new and shiny gloss or the imperial Bund.

Unlike Balzac, the film that launched Zhou Xun and French money to Little Chinese Seamstress “is not the German behind this production - and not much by the looks of things. But as Chinese young women walking the streets of the Bund wearing fairy wings and meet in the Cafe on the face, so there Suzhou River romantic heart of deep, deep in the psyche of China and here is a thing of real poetic beauty. We have seen this sensitivity shipped over to Hong Kong in the works of Won Kar Wei - it’s great to see this vision to be translated and written in the streets of Shanghai.

Look around the racks of DVDs off the list of Kung Fu and you will see that the Chinese are coming - look at the shelves and know that they’re here.

Three Colours Trilogy

November 17, 2009 - 10:56 am No Comments

Three Colours Trilogy The first in what has become the famous “color” trilogy, based on the three colors of the French national flag. The film has all the features of the famous Lodz Film School in Poland, but shot just telling, attention to detail, the penetration of the psychology of the characters, excellent editing and music. One of the first films made by Kieslowski in the West, shot in 1992 in France, went to run with the big prizes at the Venice Film Festival.

Deservedly so. The key character of Julie, magnificently played by Juliette Binoche, loses her husband and daughter in a car accident. Initially, emotionally devastated, the film focuses on his gradual return to life during which she made some discoveries in connection with her husband, who was a famous composer.

And amazingly beautiful shot with obvious emphasis on blue, carefully this pace and the reflective film is highly recommended for those who enjoy being intellectually stimulated. An excellent example of continental cinema at its best, that is, fortunately, far from a Hollywood blockbuster. Extras include in-depth interviews with the director, editor and producer and Juliette Binoche.

Blind Chance

Blind Chance This is the first film I’ve seen Kielowski is also the first Polish film too. Definitely in my top 5 of all movies (believe me I’ve seen a few!). Brilliant script, excellent quality, and senior management.

The atmosphere of the film touches you and the story certainly gets you thinking! It is true that the film seems to start slow and one is easily confused with the scenes at first, but this is explained later in the film, and if no one can predict the final then I take my hat off to you. This film conveys a good image of the butterfly effect and consequences of certain acts or actions of oneself and others.

Excellent film, I recommend this, surely watch it again.
