Automatic translation of drunkmen's movie reviews on the Zone 5300 IFFR blog
The work is thought-provoking, substantial and scumptious. The experience is a suggestion of motivations, maybye the most gut-wrenching film at the filmfestival since a long time. Even if the attitude of it emanates realism, I didn't find it smooth.
The attempt is an exercise of sparks. A project that shows sin.
The soundtrack is just entertaining and the dialog is naturalistic, surely the soundtrack is most of the time harmless. 'Turtles Can Fly' suffers from a subversive symbolic imbalance in the end. A must see.
A cinematic ensemble piece.
More of a beauty-induced flick than an edgy story.
It suffers perhaps
ironically from an intellectual imbalance, still the cinematography does not
result in a fine script.
The picture is a melange of associations.
I expected a absolutely fabulous movie because I heard a lot of good things about it. It is truly wonderful.
I saw a sincere interview with Neill Dela Llana, Ian Gamazon, so my expectations were high. The movie resonates a lesson of insights. The film is in the end old and facile. The attitude of it attacks indulgence.
My expectations were high. It is a tale full of zest. The attempt works equally well on a subliminal and on a social level.
'The Green Hat' is distinctive and convincing. This work is a very transparent flick, but it is slightly vulgar. It is utterly ungainly with its suggestion of semanticsparks, albeit it is a study of visual rigor with a few stereotypical shots.
Perhaps the most singular story to hit the screen lately.
A must see.
The effects of the picture are urgent. While the script has
some authentic elements, I didn't find it elegaic. Not upbeat, but perhaps a
script that concerns redemption. The acting is unsettling.
'Sumas y restas' is a suggestion of motivations. Though this movie is a melange of stereotypes, it is most of the time harmless. Perplexing, exuberant and smooth.
The movie evades an exploration that analyses all absorbingmessages, maybye the most certain film in Rotterdam this year. The attempt is a tale full of consistency, still Mercedes Alvarez's direction is predictable.
What a superficial bore.
This overwrought flick is a drag.
Ambitious yet aimless.
Pieter Kuijpers makes it perceptive and
spellbinding.
The sacrifice of it promotes realism.
Theo van Gogh is one of my favourite directors, so I wanted to see what this story is about but it becomes a frivolous experience. '06/05' lacks satisfaction. The picture is a rather haunting attempt.
The layout of it brandishes guilt. It fails in it's auditory analysis in the final scenes, albeit the movie works on a dramatic level. The film is a kaleidoscope of eroticassociations.
I heard it is more of an inspirational flick than an intriguing script. The casting is excellent as is the composition. 'Calvaire' is dazzling with some buoyant moods, however it is flat.
A very sensual tale.
The intentions of the story are entertaining. The
gripping movie ultimately falls short of effervescence. A work that depicts
loss, never the less the script doesn't produce a pleasant picture. The movie
works on both a formal level and on a cultural level, probably the most
emotional script to hit theaters since a long time.
Not very slick, no doubt it has some intangible moments. Despite the fact that the attempt is a tableau of insights, I thought it was pointless. More of a shattering film than a whip-smart flick.
The style of this experience challenges meditation. While 'Folie privée' is a tale full of cohesion with a few sentimental shots, it is totally painful. It is pristine and visionary with some impressive pitfalls, perhaps it is a bit overwrought. A rather realistic story.
To make things short, honest, encouraging and philosophical.
A letdown.
The somewhat deftly atmospheric film is in the end
pretentious.
It is an examination of layouts.
More of a compelling picture than an emotional attempt.
The filmmaking is
reasonably amusing. The script compels the viewer to examine an exercise of
laughter, but still Whang Cheol-Mean turns it into something magical. The
groundbreaking movie is most of the time harmless. It is insightful but old,
surely the soundtrack fails to meet it's intention.
I love Samuel Fuller's previous movie, so my expectations were high. 'The Big Red One: The Reconstruction' suffers rather from cliche-ridden lighting. This flick does not make an enjoyable project. A tale that shows grace.
A fascinating tough achievement.
It is a myriad of sparks and emotions. The attempt is evocative, arguably the most gut-wrenching experience in Rotterdam.
The messages of the movie are memorable. The story works more on a physical than on a narrative level.
A very legitimate flick.
It comes down to a long, flawed waste of talent.
The composition is just okay as is the execution. 'Tropical Malady' is a tableau of pitfalls, but still it is superficial. Not very slick, still the moods of this film are intriguing.
It is a suggestion of sacrifices. Though the filmmaking is simply gorgeous, I found the tale very buoyant. The tale works on a political level. Perceptive but painful.
'Silent Man' is more of a magical story than a visionary script. It is most of the time pointless, but it falls short in the end. While it is a film full of cohesion, it is most of the time pointless.
It is an excellent attempt.
Simply put, a big achievement.
Atmospheric, untarnished and enjoyable.
The motivations of the movie are
engaging. The soundtrack is good as is the casting.
The script compels the audience to accept a study of certainsparks. A tale that obscures laughter.
The Daily Tiger said 'it works on a physical level', so my expectations were high. It is fascinating and distinctive. This experience has some eloquent shots, but perhaps the structure does not make an ok flick. The attitude of '10e chambre, instants d'audiences' reflects on effervescence.
The picture is a story full of realism with some predictable laughs. The movie is an analysis of guilt with lots of invigorating elements, perhaps Francesco Fei manages to turn it into a tableau of layouts. Not upbeat, never the less the script is absorbing and the filmmaking is cool.
To make things short, the film is an infantile bore.
Expectations were high since Tonio told me it was absolutely wonderful. This flick is a celebration of emotions. The effect of 'Izo' reiterates satisfaction, still the idea is in the end an outrageous attempt. The picture is a melange of stereotypes.
A cinematic letdown.
It ultimately suffers from a naturalistic auditory
imbalance, albeit it is very vulgar.
The project is convincing yet
harmless, maybye the most visceral movie in Rotterdam since a long time.
Gianni Amelio makes it profound and intriguing. The perhaps suprisingly elegaic
film doesn't produce a gratifying script.
I had high expectations because Zutman already saw it and recommended it. Though the emotions of the tale are ambitious, I thought it was sentimental. It is most of the time pointless, however it works better on a personal level than on a semantic level.
The story is an exploration of sacrifices. While 'A tout de suite' challenges a suggestion of consistency, it actually was schematic and overwrought.
A rather impeccable attempt.
More of a subversive movie than a memorable flick.
It is dazzling. It has
some whip-smart parts. A movie that affirms grace.
This script is an analysis that obscures all disjointedmorals. This picture is a movie full of political rigor with some singular laughs, no doubt Kim Ki-Duk's direction is overrated. 'Samaritan Girl' works equally fine on a visual and on an emotional level, but it is flat. More of a smart film than a thoughtful flick.
I heard a lot about this movie. The style of the tale resonates finesse. Not very exhilarating, surely the execution is nice.
The festival paper called it an inspirational experience. The most perceptive story to hit the big screen.
The attempt suffers very from facile dialog in the end. It is a must see, perhaps the most gut-wrenching movie at the filmfestival since a long time. It is a tableau of pitfalls.
Impressive, irreverent and sensual. Realistic but cliche-driven.
This movie is honest and spellbinding with lots of smooth scenes. The moods of 'Simon' are engaging. A very groundbreaking picture.
