One of the most surprising films of 2011. Brit Marling is an extraordinary newcomer.
Probably on the ugliest films I have seen in my all life
Where is "The City of Photographers" ?? It's an amazing documentary.
In the documentary about the film, a man says that they wanted to make this film to have a "kiarostami product" about the situation of HIV in Uganda... That's what it is to me.
Definitely not the type of film you can see when you're on a diet...
I was surprised that it was this good. The three main actors give great performances and the plot is really efficient. The visuals hurt me sometimes (I think of these so-called dreams of Maximus, which are close to me to some kind of MTV video clip, with horse running and the clouds moving fast). I also think that how the palace is shown is really far from what actually was.
It's probably one of the most subtle film by Spielberg and that should be seen in itself as an achievement but I was bored sometimes and I didn't really know where he wanted to go to... The sequence when the main character has sex with his wife and at the same time, you see a sequence with the hostages in the helicopters, it's really like too much and a bit ridiculous.
I didn't like it and I was surprised because I thought it would be interesting but it's so cliché about girls and the main actresses just don't fit with the social backgrounds of their characters. It ends up being so cool and girly and that's a pity because it could really have been way better. Probably lacks of directing and lacks a strong view of this story.
Probably the worst of the trilogy ?? The first was far better...
She reminds me of Romy Schneider
I don't understand the haters... They go to a film star's wall, say this film star is dumb and I hope that they're happy after that because... what's the use ??? More seriously, I myself have so much things I'm interested in that I can't find time to go a wall and say stupid things on it... Some must be really bored...
Probably one of the greatest achievements in cinema
This is a great film. Everything looks simple and real and the film goes directly where it wants to go, say what it has to say. This is plain and great and probably the best gay love story I have watched for a while, probably the film that I waited for on a gay couple, a simple, plain story.
Wasikowska was really impressive in this part, she's definitely one of the finest actresses in her generation.
Kieslowski is a master to me. One of the true greatest geniuses in cinema...
The script could definitely be far better. There are incoherences like the fact that Julie talks about her father on the phone (like she is made or something ?) and then, we learn that her mother is dead.... Just doesn't make sense, like the end which doesn't give more to the movie and should have been removed.
A terrible film. The ambition is definitely to be close to some american films such as "Nixon" or "JFK" (both by Stone) or also "J. Edgar" by Eastwood but it's obviously a failure as what is told is uniquely what has been already told a million times by the mass medias and doesn't learn something more to the viewer... Really terrible.
Simplicity at its best
After Paris, after London, after Barcelona, Woody will soon bring us a postcard from Roma...
I loved "Al Massir" but didn't like "Alexandrie... New York" at all, looked too much like a soap opera to me. He's a talented director I must say, in my opinion, his style is close to italian directors such as Fellini or Moretti (in "Alexandria, again and forever" or "an egyptian story"...).
She is the most beautiful italian actress working today and one of the most talented.
A terrible film. Allen reduces some of the greatest american artists of the XXth century to cliché images. It's as if he thought that the only way talent has to express itself is in clichés, in a picture taken from an ad, probably because that's how his talent expresses itself. Though everything's dull, dialogues are sometimes good but if you already watched another Allen's film, you won't discover anything.
I'm pretty sure the characters were meant to be cliches. The film's about a man who so romanticizes the 20's and his heroes of said era that he sees all of heroes as one-dimensional realizations of everything he'd hoped meeting these great artists would be like.
I know what the story is, as I watched it. It doesn't mean that Hemingway has to be reduced to an alcoholic and strong man. The scene with Dali, Bunuel is just so ridiculous. I think he does with the twenties in Paris a cliché image, most tourists will probably like but a cliché that i personaly think lacks subtlety and depth...
He is probably one of the few most powerful film directors working nowadays and as all great directors, his work on sound is so precise, so meaningful.
I waited a long time to watch this film (since I first had the opportunity to watch it) and I have to say that I was wrong. This film is free, it is sometimes light-hearted, sometimes down-to-earth, sometimes it's very dark, sometimes very clear. In a way, it's the kind of film that is more than a film but the director's life. You can't ignore that, unless you're stupid.
Honoré at his best. I was quite sceptical when I started to watch this film but it's probably his best film. Chiara Mastroianni reveals herself in the character of Lena.
A truly great film about our civilization. Some probably missed the point. They just should hear this sentence Haneke said once in an interview "I love sometimes to slap people in order to wake them up. Just to show them why they watch what they watch".
He's a fascinating director. I don't think that he wants to teach something to the audience. He wants us to question our perception of the films, he wants us to question our perception of good and evil and that's why, he's probably one of the only directors working now that is making films which help us, as citizens, to question our society and improve ourselves.
I can't wait to watch this film. Anybody knows where to find it ?
It looks like Walter Salles wants to make his "Motorcycle Diaries 2". It would be nice if he tried to make films on other subjets. Looks like a pretty picture of idealized youth, beauty, freedom, sex and creativity. I'm not sure that it will be about the Beat Generation, as "Motorcycle diaries" was not about Che Gevara but much more about his idealized picture on teenager t-shirts.
“I don’t want to make movies for kids, and I don’t want to make movies for adults either.” I have two solutions for you girl : - make films for animals or objects (am not sure that they will appreciate). - stop making films, you're not obliged to... Man, what a stupid quote.
