Musidora: Filmography

As my body returns to its original condition, blood and pus from my wounds will fall as dew from the night sky. After all, I exist nowhere in the universe. But in the universe there is nothing which is not me.

The Descendants

I really apologize, I don't understand the raging hard-on people had for this movie.

Bridesmaids

This had zero comedic timing.

My Neighbor Totoro

Makes me cry whenever I see it. Longing for something so basic like growing up with your complete family.. every kid should have that. It feels so close but it is so far because of the situation handed. And then a beautiful world of magic and nature that is always your healing friend.

Also am I the only one who thought of Scorpio Rising?

    The references made to Scorpio Rising are absolutely absurd. A man wears a jacket with a scorpion insignia and this is supposed to be comparable to Kenneth Anger? Refn's pretentiousness is pathetic.

    I was thinking more of the fetish shots of cars. But you can go ahead and think I just meant the scorpion! I don't find Kenneth Anger is that complicated to be make it a pretentious reference.

Don't read anything about it or watch the trailer, just go see it without any expectations. To go with that I'll just say a few things: I liked how it felt like a fairytale dressed in 80's ~ 90's L.A. noir. The car scenes are pretty amazing and creative. My only little wish is that they made better use of Christina Hendricks. Overall quite the breath of fresh air for me!

Midnight in Paris

I hate Woody Allen but this movie was sort of cute and funny. Some parts painful but laughable. I liked Adrien Brody's bit.

Black Narcissus

Jack Cardiff at his best. Some of the most incredibly passionate and illuminating colours & lighting ever, ever.

Enter the Void

It was interesting to me how the movie felt very rhythmic in a biological and emotional sense. Whenever a character said/did something hurtful to themselves or others, the camera would show a reaction as I felt a pang of sadness. Sometimes it felt like a blindly suffering living-thing. No depthy characters but I think it's supposed to feel like a deluded electric dollhouse. Also, nice, newer way of using CG.

La haine

I liked how despite the overflowing, rotten hate feeding itself from everywhere, the characters and tension built from their actions and thoughts are pure and innocent. The ending was really perfect and Kassovitz's cameo is hands-down the best director-cameo I've seen. I thought it was amazing he could give such an intimate view to an issue that is often deluded by certain horrible scales...

The Scarlet Empress

The scene where the Duke kisses Princess Sophia and then tells her to punish him with his horse whip is one of the sexiest scenes I've ever seen.

The Scarlet Empress

I thought this was a satisfying, well-made action movie. A fun revengeish movie is therapeutic sometimes! There were some really good laughs too. Sound effects guy needed to calm down a bit with some of the fight scenes, heh. And uh, Won Bin... hmm, yeah I don't need to get into that here. :]

Love Is the Devil

Derek Jacobi is pretty much always great. I thought this was actually a pretty good biopicish movie. Also, Daniel Craig is very good at being a pauvre gay boy toy. I like how they captured the pendulum-rhythm, fleshy yet caged, trance-like quality of Bacon's paintings.

Tekkonkinkreet

Some of the visuals were nice and neat details in the city but that's not enough for me in an animation. I didn't really find this one to be that unique; felt like stuff I'd seen before but mangled into another form. Also, the younger brother's voice was so annoying, I couldn't think. :\

Christopher Nolan

He has such a terribly hard time writing female characters.

Winsor McCay

I feel like Little Nemo should be added too... the short animation is soaked in Mccay's incredible sense of dimension, rendering, imagination and sweetness.

The Thin Red Line

"Are you righteous? Kind? Does your confidence lie in this? Are you loved by all? Know that I was, too. Do you imagine your suffering will be any less because you loved goodness and truth?"

The Scarlet Empress

So overwhelmingly voluptuous and dangerously playful with power. I cannot explain to you the waves of shivers I get every time I watch the scene during a rest on the journey to the Russian palace where Alexei kisses the innocent Sophia and hands her his whip, demanding punishment (read: reward!). It is one of the most delicious moments in film for me.

The Scarlet Empress

Pretty colours, lighting and soundtrack. Kind of feels like an alternative world's Amelie (even though this was made before that..). Overall I didn't really have patience for the self-absorbed feeling of this movie.

Nobody Knows

I feel like there were parts of this movie that didn't quite do it for me in believability (I know that it is based on a true story though). It is very heartbreaking regardless. I think I remember crying at the scene in the very everyday cafe in Tokyo where Akira and his mother are wearing very typical clothes...they don't look any different than anyone else in Tokyo really... then Akira asks his mother so purely and innocently why he can't go to school.

The Sixth Sense

I still remember how my brother watched this before I did and him boasting about how I wouldn't be able to guess the twist. I guessed it in the first few minutes.

The Magic Flute

There are some pretty and imaginative images like the dark faces in the Queen of the Night's aria and Tamino and Pamina's test through a hellish realm... but I have to say the singers kind of suck (except Papageno and maybe Sarastro) even if their faces match the parts nicely.

Pandora's Box

I like some of the aesthetics in this movie and I used to really like the movie four or something years ago but somehow I can't seem to care that much about it now. I guess it shows artifice very accurately.

Martin Gschlacht

I hate to make silly comments like since Gschlacht very obviously has an amazing original, elegant and lucid style but he is like this film generation's Sven Nykvist and much much more. I look forward to see more and more of this cinematographer's work. The breadth of movement, colours, details in nature and humans he shows is so clear but always has graceful subtlety as well.

I really want to watch "Chi to Hone" but at the same time it's one of the films I most fear to see.
