Automatic translation of drunkmen's movie reviews on the Zone 5300 IFFR blog
It is a schlocky doodle.
Tonio who saw the first screening told me the flick was truly enthralling, so my expectations were high. While this attempt is a celebration of sparks, I found all scenes very encouraging. The idea is phenomenal.
The film has some philosophical moments. An experience that examines guilt, never the less it is predictable. A cinematic slam-dunk.
Zutman told me 'Nemmeno il destino' was brilliant. A virtuoso ensemble piece.
Edgy yet cloudy.
The thoughtful script doesn't make a decent story.
'Adolphe' is a myriad of intellectualstereotypes, but still Benoit Jacquot makes it
scumptious and distinctive. It is clever, elegaic and irreverent.
An atmospheric, perhaps profoundly cliche-ridden, shattering piece of nonsense.
Liorah already saw it and recommended it, so I wanted to see this picture. 'Cavite' has some magical scenes. Neill Dela Llana, Ian Gamazon's direction is languid. As much as it is an exercise of pitfalls, it is most of the time harmless.
More of an ambitious tale than a beauty-induced movie.
The movie is a flick full of suspense with some cliche-driven styles. It brandishes an exploration of indulgence, never the less it is very flawed. Intriguing but schlocky.
Whip-smart yet schematic.
The intention of the story emanates meditation.
The messages of the attempt are perplexing. Not very entertaining, albeit this
tale works on both a physical level and on a symbolic level.
In short, it all adds up to one long - however eloquent - drag.
The motivations of 'Sumas y restas' are slick. Although it suffers rather from a flat idea, I thought it was outrageous. The lighting is good as is the idea.
What a sentimental bore.
It is an overrated waste of film.
It is in the top 10 in the audience survey, so my expectations were high but the movie is utterly uneventful. This work is a tableau of laughs, arguably the most certain film at the festival since a long time. The flick is inspirational, enjoyable and smart.
A rather authentic script.
It fails to meet it's intention in the final
elements, but the picture is dazzling and remarkable.
The tale is in the
end facile and cliche-driven. 'Off Screen' is a story full of guilt with a few
exhilarating parts.
Substantial but aimless. A must see.
A movie that concerns finesse. It has some unimpeachable shots, surely the soundtrack is totally abominable with its examination of depth. More of a caustic attempt than an encouraging movie.
Urgent, emotional and invigorating.
It is a lesson that reiterates all
layout and insight. This experience is a suggestion of sparks. The script
ultimately is flawed by a vulgar script. The mood of the flick reflects on
effervescence, but still it is old.
Expectations were high since the film created a lot of buzz but this tale is utterly painful. It reverberates an analysis of realism. It works better on a visceral level than on a semantic level, probably the most gut-wrenching picture in Rotterdam this year. Even if the composition is subversive and the casting is nice, I didn't find 'Team America: World Police' engaging.
The flick is elegaic with lots of pristine laughs. The sacrifices of it are realistic, no doubt Kiriya Kazuaki's direction isn't singular for everyone.
I saw a bizarre interview with Joachim Lafosse. Not exuberant, still it is a kaleidoscope of attitudes. The attempt is gripping yet forced.
This disjointed movie is a piece of crap.
A very sincere project.
The thought-provoking story becomes a forgettable
picture.
Though the script is a movie full of innocence with some
engrossing moments, it does not result in an enjoyable film. The attempt has
some naturalistic scenes.
It comes down to a large, frivolous piece of junk.
'The Big Red One: The Reconstruction' is a melange of stereotypes. The suprisingly legitimate flick is most of the time pointless.
I expected a just excellent tale because I heard this movie is untarnished, smooth and insightful. The experience denies a celebration of personalstyles. Susanne Bier turns it into something groundbreaking. Though 'Brothers' falls short on sparks in the final shot, I thought it was aimless.
The effects of it are buoyant, but perhaps it is rather stereotypical. A story that analyses humor. A tough letdown.
I had high expectations because I heard a lot about this movie. An evocative must see.
Convincing, visionary and irreverent.
The emotion of 'Three... Extremes' compels
viewers to accept redemption. This movie is a study of messages. The tale is
absorbing and thoughtful with a few cliche-ridden pitfalls, but Fruit Chan, Park Chan-Wook, Miike Takashi's
direction is toothless. It works equally fine on an intellectual level and an
emotional level, never the less the execution is in the end cloudy.
A rather edgy story.
Despite the fact that a flick that affirms sin, it
becomes a facile film.
The layouts of the work are shattering.
The idea is okay and the execution is simply brilliant. The compelling movie is totally stereotypical with its exploration of meditation. Even if the script is convincing and singular, I can't say it is perplexing.
Beauty-induced yet cloudy.
It is more of an impressive story than a
haunting picture. It is an examination of catharsis with some remarkable
morals, perhaps it is slightly forgettable. Kees Hin's direction will not be
to everyone's taste. Not engaging, surely the mood of the film resonates
realism.
More of a legitimate script than a honest movie.
This movie works equally well on a semantic level and on a dramatic level. The attempt is a tough ensemble piece, but the idea fails to deliver in the end.
A tale that depicts cohesion. 'Late Bloomer' is endowed with a melange of politicalstereotypes, but perhaps Shibata Go makes it convincing and caustic. The flick lacks laughter. Realistic, urgent and invigorating.
It is a celebration of insights, maybye the most visceral story at the festival lately. The experience is a film full of effervescence.
Substantial but pointless.
It is utterly forced, albeit 'Story Undone' is a
tableau of sparks.
This picture is intangible.
A very profound story.
It suffers from a social imbalance in the end. Though the layouts of the script are entertaining, I didn't find it edgy. Although it has some engrossing parts, it is most of the time harmless.
The intention of the movie compels us to define depth. The casting is poignant as is the plot, but it is abominable. More of an unsettling work than a thought-provoking movie.
A virtuoso achievement.
'Izo' suffers rather from superficial casting in
the final parts. It works better on a symbolic than on a visual level, arguably
the most narrative movie to hit the big screen since a long time. The authentic
experience doesn't produce a gratifying flick. The tale promotes a kaleidoscope
of morals.
A lot op people recommended it. It is an analysis of moods. The attempt actually was overrated and pretentious. Evocative yet schlocky.
To keep things short, it is an absolutely stunning picture.
A rather visionary attempt.
Not very exuberant, never the less it is a
study that obscures consistency.
'A tout de suite' is subversive, smooth and
emotional. It is totally disjointed with its exercise of guilt, but still a
film that looks for questions about redemption.
More of a fascinating tale than an atmospheric story.
A slick, somewhat tightly memorable, stereotypical bore.
I heard the script is unimpeachable but aimless, so my expectations were high but it ultimately falls short . Although the movie is a movie full of zest with lots of upbeat scenes, it becomes an infantile attempt. This story is a tableau of laughs.
A must see.
The lighting is stunning. The effects of it are perceptive,
perhaps the soundtrack is utterly cliche-ridden. The project is smart and
elegaic, however Wong Kar-wai turns it into something inspirational. '2046' has
some distinctive elements.
The script is somewhat flawed by a flawed structure. The flick works on an auditory level, still it is a bit schematic.
The motivation of it attacks laughter. As much as the picture challenges an exploration of personalassociations, I thought the film was pointless. Despite the fact that it is a very insightful movie, it is most of the time pointless.
More of a transparent tale than a literate picture.
Not exhilarating, but
perhaps 'Verborgen gebreken' is a suggestion of morals with a few groundbreaking
stereotypes.
The story is a lesson of attitudes. The almost ironically
absorbing movie does not make a cool attempt.
Gripping, intriguing and smooth. Magical yet predictable.
