I think A PROPHET shares the same magnitude as THE GODFATHER, but has more in common with GOODFELLAS since both films focus on an outsider trying to claim his own in an imbalanced power structure.
this is some next level prank shit. or not.
Tilda's expressions are so perfect, in every moment, it makes you feel.
All the flashbacks/hallucinations were a mess, just plain filler. I don't get the deal about Franco either, he bores me. Good soundtrack.
Only Fassbender could turn a movie with so many "fuck, i hate this" moments into something really enjoyable. Also, McAvoy and all the cool references made this fun. Matthew Vaugh is a dickhead though.
A naked Cronenberg showing us the insecurities of two of the greatest human minds. His most life-affirming work to date. It felt good.
I wanted to crash that psychedelic party so bad.
Lovely and moving. Make yourself a favor and watch this at the movie theatre. Oh, and the dog is super awesome.
Isabelle Huppert might be my favorite actress alive.
Pretty bad. Still Anne was super cute as Emma.
So bad it's awesome.
So cliche I almost got retarded during the film. Why the hell is Tom Hardy into this mess? You're one of my modern heroes man, what the fuck.
Despite the fact that 90% of the film is about eating pretty fucking hot potatoes and an old man getting dressed by his daughter, it's a strong one.
Great direction by Fincher, as usual. As engaging as the sweedish version, more polished + Trent Reznor's awesome soundtrack. Rooney Mara did a brilliant Lisbeth Salander, I fell in love with the character all over again. But don't worry dear Noomy, I still love your Lisbeth a little bit more.
"In 1991, the films received additional media attention when actor Charlie Sheen watched Flowers of Flesh and Blood and mistook it for a genuine snuff film, immediately contacting the FBI to report it." LOL
Just rewatched it, and I gotta say it's a hell of a self indulgent movie. Too many cringeworthy moments. Gimmicky bullshit that actually got me the first time around. 2 stars.
Whaaaatta fuck was that ending? So brutal that I laughed my ass off. Now I want to see all of Breillat's films.
The last time I felt this way was with The Death of Mr. Lazarescu. It's real.
Love's like a stray cat, euthanized by a twist of fate.
Depression translated to movie form. When everything stops making any sense, the end of the world is the only interesting event.
So the guy that Summer dumped has cancer now, unlucky bastard. Predictable and cliche, still manages to be a fun little movie.
For those comparing A Prophet with Godfather, I must ask: wtf is wrong with you? It's a good movie all around, but c'mon. Niels Arestrup is the high.
Starts well and goes nowhere. Just pointless. Maybe effective as a nightmare to people with OCD. The last scene was a major "OH REALLY??".
It could have worked as a political metaphor, like Saló did. But it just (kind of) works as a dark comedy. I laughed more than was shocked. The "NEW BORN PORN" scene was hilarious!
I just wish it had more gore.
Cinematography heaven. Morricone's music and Linda Manz's narration are stunning too.
Lisbeth Salander forever.
Very engaging! Can't wait for Fincher's remake.
Fun and unpretencious gangster flick. Gotta watch part 2 soon enough. Cassel is the coolest actor around for about sometime now.
The atmosphere captured by Pennebaker is awesome.
Shyamalan used to be good, didn't he? Pitty.
