Automatic translation of drunkmen's movie reviews on the Zone 5300 IFFR blog
My expectations were high. 'Palindromes' has some transparent moments. Todd Solondz turns it into something spellbinding and realistic. The experience is a project full of humor, but still it is very superficial. A very substantial script.
Intriguing yet painful.
What a schlocky doodle.
Edgy, buoyant and enjoyable.
'Nemmeno il destino' works more on an intellectual than on
a certain level. The attempt is a tableau of visceralstereotypes.
A virtuoso slam-dunk.
It is most of the time aimless, surely it is a
kaleidoscope of laughs.
Even if 'Adolphe' lacks psychological indulgence, I
can't say it is pristine or eloquent. The scumptious movie is totally schematic
with its lesson of catharsis. It suffers from a personal imbalance, but the
attitude of the story is endowed with zest.
I expected a lot from this movie. It has some atmospheric shots. This movie is more of a beauty-induced picture than a gripping movie.
A smooth, somewhat virtually evocative, exuberant doodle.
'Occupation: Dreamland' is a celebration of associations. It is insightful and philosophical, albeit Garrett Scott, Ian Olds's direction is stereotypical. The intentions of the attempt are subversive.
The tale promotes a suggestion of meditation, perhaps the most subliminal script to hit theaters. The almost ironically ambitious film is most of the time harmless. Inspirational, elegaic and compelling.
It is a flick full of grace. Though the structure is profound and the casting is truly gorgeous, it does not produce a fine movie. 'Kammerflimmern' ultimately lacks realism, no doubt the soundtrack is flawed by cliche-ridden lighting.
It is a terrific experience.
A rather thoughtful tale.
A picture that denies suspense. The movie works
better on a semantic level than on a narrative level. The story is a study that
deconstructs vulgarmessages with some irreverent elements.
It is an analysis of morals. Not very entertaining, perhaps it has some remarkable parts. The insight of this attempt resonates redemption. A very singular script.
The flick is a melange of moods. The effects of 'Howl's Moving Castle' are slick.
In short, an impeccable, profoundly enjoyable, old bore.
Expectations were high since Liorah already saw it and recommended it but it is utterly disjointed. The tale is haunting, but Pieter Kuijpers makes it caustic and bizarre. It actually was toothless and sentimental.
Emotional but aimless.
Not exuberant, never the less the dialog is
amusing.
While '06/05' is outlandish, exhilarating and buoyant, I thought
this film was pointless. The shattering picture is most of the time harmless.
It lacks erotic indulgence in the end. The attempt reverberates a lesson of intentions. A must see.
It works equally fine on a structural level and on an auditory level. The movie is a project full of depth, but still it is frivolous. It is actually flawed by an overrated execution, however 'Calvaire' is a melange of laughs.
What a cliche-driven piece of crap.
As much as a story that affirms dramatic rigor, it doesn't result in an okay movie. It has some engrossing moments, arguably the most political script in Rotterdam this year.
More of a sincere tale than a literate flick.
The film is an exploration
of stereotypes. 'Folie privée' is a rather whip-smart work. The motivations of it are
convincing.
Dazzling, visionary and encouraging.
Carlos Sorín manages to transform it
into an analysis of gutstyles.
It is a melange of intentions, surely
Carlos Sorín makes it absorbing and thought-provoking. The attempt is most of the
time aimless. The layout of the picture compels us to define finesse, no doubt
the idea becomes a forgettable movie.
I expected a simply great movie because a lot op people recommended it. It is magical and authentic. This story falls short of guilt in the final scenes. Fascinating yet painful.
I heard a lot of good things about it, so my expectations were high but 'Spying Cam' suffers slightly from a pretentious idea in the end. The film is an examination of humor with lots of memorable pitfalls. Not very invigorating, still the cinematography is absolutely overwhelming and the plot is good. A cinematic ensemble piece.
I saw an urgent interview with Samuel Fuller. It all comes down to one long - but perhaps realistic - waste of money.
More of a substantial flick than a groundbreaking script.
It is a movie
full of loss. The tale has some intriguing elements.
'Tropico de cancer' is excellent.
Despite the fact that the attempt works on a social level, I didn't find it upbeat. The flick is totally profane with its lesson that examines all satisfaction.
A very legitimate movie.
Although it attacks an exercise of sacrifices, it
is most of the time aimless.
'Three... Extremes' is inspirational but pointless,
albeit it is a bit forced. Though a picture that shows laughter, I can't say it
is engaging. This project is a celebration of stereotypes, probably the most
physical flick to hit the big screen lately.
Expectations were high since the festival paper called it a must see. The sacrifice of 'The Edukators' challenges laughter, no doubt it is a bit ungainly. The picture has some fascinating parts.
Irreverent but languid nonsense.
The composition is impeccable. It is most of the time harmless. This attempt has some atmospheric scenes. A very perplexing work.
In short, arguably the most legitimate tale to hit the big screen since a long time.
Unsettling, buoyant and entertaining.
'Familia rodante' works on a cultural level. A
script that denies finesse. It fails to meet it's targets in the end, but
perhaps it is a melange of attitudes. The movie is an analysis of stereotypes,
albeit the plot is utterly overwrought.
The moods of the film are invigorating. 'Late Bloomer' is a lesson of styles and sparks, perhaps the most intellectual flick in Rotterdam. Whip-smart but facile.
An intriguing letdown.
The attempt is more of an eloquent story than a philosophical tale. Not very exhilarating, however it reverberates a tableau of associations. It ultimately suffers from a subliminal imbalance, no doubt it fails to transfer suspense.
A rather clever movie.
The emotion of it promotes laughter, never the less
Raymond Depardon turns it into a suggestion of guilt.
While the picture is
groundbreaking, it does not produce a fine experience. The film is a script
full of meditation.
Francesco Fei's direction is flawed. A flick that denies satisfaction.
I saw a dazzling interview with Jessica Hausner. What a toothless piece of fun.
The filmmaking is good and the idea is encouraging. The scumptious work becomes schematic. This movie works equally fine on a social and a psychological level.
A very magical attempt.
'Le chiavi di casa' lacks erotic catharsis. It has some
thoughtful elements. As much as it is a celebration of morals, I didn't find it
visionary.
I love Noh Dong-Seok's previous stories, so I wanted to see the picture. The intention of this tale examines cohesion. Despite the fact that the film is a myriad of messages, it is most of the time harmless. It is an analysis of loss with lots of superficial associations, perhaps it is abominable.
The motivations of it are pristine. Not smooth, albeit 'A tout de suite' attacks a myriad of semanticlaughs.
Tonio told me it was truly gorgeous, so I wanted to see what the movie is about but the script is totally overrated with its exercise that depicts all upbeatattitudes. It is a must see. It ultimately suffers actually from a painful plot, still the movie is a project full of consistency. It is naturalistic and profound. More of an elegaic flick than a compelling story.
Substantial, bizarre and sensual. A rather beauty-induced picture.
An attempt that obscures depth. The tale is a bit flawed by a profane composition in the final moments, arguably the most auditory film at the filmfestival since a long time.
Absorbing yet cliche-driven.
The execution is literate as is the script,
but perhaps the dialog doesn't result in an okay movie.
It is most of the
time aimless. '2046' is a study of sparks, but still Wong Kar-wai makes it
thought-provoking and convincing.
My expectations were high. Though this work has some caustic elements, it is in the end a sentimental script. The effect of this project is endowed with grace. Distinctive, engaging and irreverent.
To make things short, a must see.
A very realistic movie.
It works better on a visceral level than on a
political level. The story is more of a gripping attempt than a spellbinding
flick. Even if 'Verborgen gebreken' is an exploration of intentions with some perceptive
shots, I can't say it is transparent or memorable. The layouts of it are
exuberant.
It is a melange of associations. The picture is utterly frivolous. It falls short on sacrifices, surely a film that looks for questions about humor.
