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. Does not seem much of a basis for a movie, and yet mankind is here, with occasional cuts to shots of high mountains Mother And Son 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 impression, with some random badly translated subtitles.

Sokurov and his film deserves better treatment, especially a company with a reputation for Artificial Eye.

Fanny And Alexander

This was the first Ingmar Bergman movie I saw and I was surprised. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of world cinema, forget preconceived notions about Bergman I found this very pleasant, warm and slightly stimulant 5h movie is too long? No theatrical version of the 3hr ‘is too short!

This was originally made for television which is divided into parts with the first is the longest in 1.5hrs so it is easy to see on stage … When Fanny And Alexander I first saw the movie was a bit intimidated by 5 ha of Bergman, but I sat down and started.

After a while, about 10 minutes or less my mind I thought I was starting to drag and I never sat through it, but then I looked at the clock and I had been looking for over 1 h, not 10 minutes and …. I was stuck. Next thing I know from the movies about to end and I do not want it to end ….. I saw him twice.

Heimat 3

Heimat 3 I remember seeing a brief overview of Heimat 3 in the observer, before I had heard of Heimat 1 and 2. I started at the beginning and have wanted to see the three masterpieces of television drama.

Each “series” has its own feel, but they all have a great way to show life as it is and all its vicissitudes. Number 3 for me was the brilliant culmination of a series of Heimat.

As always we have a brilliant piece of social observation covering the fall of the Berlin Wall and the human themes of love and infidelity and fidelity of the course. The ending seems a bit more fast paced than the others, but the good thing about this program is that change and innovation.

The quality is excellent and naturalist. I urge everyone to go out and get this in your life right now!

Hidden

Hidden Rob Taylor of Somewhere Over the Atlantic this amount of good with his roll mountain analogy. I was disappointed and left bewildered by what I had been led to believe was a twist at the end. Huh?

Maybe this worked better on the big screen because it had a lot of tiny details lost on the small screen. It seemed a little pretentious - especially loooooooong static shots and scenes from the pool are top-down exercise of his tour (why?).

If the director wants to do something that gives pleasure only, no name for it and not filmmamking.

Divine Intervention

Divine Intervention This film is a bit surreal attempt to explore the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the Palestinian point of view. We enjoyed the way it was a very distant human face.

It is a dark, slow motion cum-comedy-drama loosely centered around the Israeli checkpoints. The main love in some way beyond this and yet we still doubt that the sense of the pressure cooker of the Middle East conflict must stop.

Themes of suicide bombings and the frustrations of living in a closed solution (the bulk of the film is set in Nazareth) give a strong impression of what it’s like to live in the 21st century against the Palestinian Territory and in a sympathetic manner . Do not expect a conventional Hollywood plot, but if you fancy stepping outside his usual frame of reference for a night, give this a try.

The Day I Became A Woman

For his first film, The day I became a woman, Marziyeh Meshkini, the wife of Iran’s most prominent filmmaker, Mohsen Makhmalbaf, has created a mystical three-part allegorical vision of the treacherous cycle in which Iranian women are robbed of their freedom and dignity. In the first episode, a girl on her ninth birthday that she can no longer talk or play with children and should start using the traditional head to toe black covering of the body warn the Iranian women.

In the second, a young woman feverishly competes in a visually impressive all-female, while the bike race The Day I Became A Woman pursued on horseback by her husband, family and clan members, urging them to return to their responsibilities and duties, and, finally, take your bike on it. The protagonist in the last episode is a crippled old woman, lost in delusional fantasies, who hires a young man to help your child in the purchase of all the things that do not have it throughout his long and difficult life. While the plots are simple, visual and conceptual framework on the subject of a life cycle of deprivation and humiliation creates a thoughtful and elegant elegy to the struggles and dignity of the Iranian women’s poetry.

It is difficult to know where to start with ‘Metro’. Indeed, a plot synopsis that does not explain about what the movie is.

Manic, ennervating, hilarious, moving and often just bizarre, surreal and a treaty is pessimistic about the war, resentment, revenge and corruption of the forces of love and Underground power as well as a cynical essay on the last seventy years of Balkan history. Do not be intimidated by subtitles or running length (nearly three hours) - Intelligent viewers will be absorbed by the Marx Brothers meets Gilliam style, even without a good knowledge of historical context. Strange and absolutely wonderful!

The third part of the Three Colors trilogy, Red is the most critically acclaimed, which deals with the relationship between a French and an old dog with a problem. Due to the success (including three Oscar nominations) thought it would be the Network window, but the film begins Three Colours Trilogy very slowly, taking a long time to create characters that are related, but pick up and get much better, with a very satisfactory conclusion.

Smart, clever and the humor, the film has a plot revealed slowly, with the participation of a judge and a model interfering share aspects of their lives. Kieslowski? S latest film.
