Automatic translation of drunkmen's movie reviews on the Zone 5300 IFFR blog
The acting is decent and the soundtrack is simply wonderful. Though the tale has some legitimate shots, it is most of the time pointless. Pristine yet aimless.
It doesn't produce an amusing script, never the less it is a flick full of catharsis with some encouraging scenes. 'The Shutka Book of Records' is an examination of insights.
More of a distinctive picture than a perceptive attempt.
The honest flick
ultimately fails to deliver.
The emotion of the script depicts suspense.
The plot is gorgeous, perhaps the idea is most of the time harmless.
It is emotional, entertaining and visionary. The project is actually flawed by outrageous lighting, maybye the most formal film in Rotterdam since a long time. 'Nemmeno il destino' works on a visual level.
This story is an abominable doodle.
A cinematic slam-dunk.
The movie is a celebration of loss. As much as it
is an examination of sparks, I didn't find a few moments impeccable. The
attitudes of it are slick, but Michael Shaowanasai, Apichatpong Weerasethakul turns it into something remarkable
and spellbinding.
A story that affirms guilt. Neill Dela Llana, Ian Gamazon's direction is overrated. A rather dazzling movie.
Expectations were high since I love Garrett Scott, Ian Olds's earlier tales. The attempt is a melange of morals. Although the film is subversive and engrossing, it is utterly frivolous with its kaleidoscope of visceraleffects. More of a convincing picture than an urgent flick.
Evocative, beauty-induced and invigorating.
A must see.
Literate but schlocky.
It does not result in an enjoyable script, albeit
the emotion of it reverberates finesse.
'Land of Plenty' challenges a lesson of
redemption. Not very upbeat, albeit the plot is caustic as is the soundtrack.
The movie has some untarnished elements.
It is fascinating, engaging and substantial. 'Sumas y restas' is a story full of catharsis, but still it is sentimental. The experience works equally well on an auditory level and on a political level.
Even if this movie falls short in the final element, I thought it was aimless. The tale is a study of sparks.
A very unsettling attempt.
It is an exploration that concerns all
motivation and style with lots of thoughtful insights. A film that reiterates
zest, but the cinematography is most of the time pointless. The layouts of the
picture are inspirational, however Miyazaki Hayao's direction isn't gripping for
everyone.
I expected a lot from this flick but it doesn't produce an ok movie. The composition is reasonably amusing and the casting is nice. The story is a kaleidoscope of pitfalls, arguably the most social script to hit the big screen this year.
The message of it compels the audience to examine meditation. The somewhat astonishingly intriguing tale ultimately suffers a bit from old dialog. A virtuoso ensemble piece.
Enjoyable but cliche-ridden crap.
A scumptious must see.
Intangible yet uneventful.
'Calvaire' becomes a schematic movie.
The
project works on both a physical and an erotic level. It is realistic, still it
is rather pretentious.
Zutman already saw it and recommended it. It evades an exercise that obscures depth. Though it is a rather compelling attempt, it is totally languid. A flick that affirms grace.
It does not result in a gratifying film, still the sacrifices of this story are irreverent. The script fails to meet it's intention in the end.
More of a perplexing movie than a haunting picture.
This story has some
atmospheric parts. 'Folie privée' is a work full of satisfaction, surely the execution
is most of the time aimless. It is an analysis of laughs.
Simply put, probably the most philosophical flick to hit theaters since a long time.
Impressive, legitimate and entertaining.
Not exhilarating, but perhaps it
is a myriad of intentions.
The movie is a suggestion of stereotypes with a
few buoyant shots. While the film works on so many different levels, I thought
it was flat.
The mood of 'Spying Cam' raises concerns on realism. The structure is absolutely terrific as is the plot, never the less Whang Cheol-Mean's direction will not be to everyone's taste. A tough slam-dunk.
My expectations were high. The attitudes of it are memorable. Samuel Fuller makes it authentic and transparent. Elegaic but infantile.
A big letdown.
Thought-provoking yet painful. A very absorbing tale.
More of an insightful attempt than a groundbreaking experience.
The movie
is profound and elegaic. The script is in the end disjointed and overwrought.
It lacks sin, but the picture is ambitious, exuberant and emotional.
It promotes an examination of dramaticstyles. A story that deconstructs innocence, perhaps the filmmaking is utterly stereotypical with its tableau of sparks and effects. Though the flick has some encouraging scenes, it actually was a facile picture.
Evocative, memorable and profound.
Though a picture that analyses
laughter, I found most moments very enjoyable.
It lacks consistency. Not
very entertaining, still this script is a study of pitfalls.
It is in the top 10 of most popular movies. 'Tropical Malady' is elegaic and beauty-induced with a few invigorating stereotypes. As much as the casting is simply overwhelming and the dialog is amazing, I can't say it is upbeat. A film that reiterates innocence.
A very whip-smart experience. More of an intriguing flick than an encouraging script.
The tale works on many different levels. 'Silent Man' is absorbing, but still the execution is utterly painful.
The movie is a picture full of depth with lots of pristine moments. Not exuberant, however the sacrifice of the movie promotes guilt.
Magical, buoyant and engaging.
The filmmaking is pretty good as is the
soundtrack. It does not produce an okay attempt, still it is a melange of
moods. The almost virtually thought-provoking movie is totally superficial with
its examination of eroticmotivations. It is a rather scumptious script.
The festival paper called it evocative but cliche-driven. This story has some clever shots. While the layouts of 'While Darwin Sleeps...' are caustic, it is most of the time aimless. The work is a celebration of pitfalls.
The flick ultimately suffers from flawed lighting. It evades an analysis of humor.
I saw a haunting interview with Raymond Depardon, so my expectations were high. Enjoyable and convincing crap.
It is realistic and shattering. It is actually flawed by a schlocky plot in the end, but perhaps the script is in the end a facile tale. A must see.
Distinctive, encouraging and honest.
The attitudes of the film are slick,
never the less it is outrageous.
'Hotel' is impeccable with some
disjointed laughs. Despite the fact that this attempt has some unsettling
elements, I didn't find it engrossing.
More of an intangible script than a subversive picture.
The movie is a lesson that deconstructs structural rigor with a few irreverent parts. The movie works on so many levels, still Gianni Amelio's direction isn't unimpeachable for everyone.
A story that shows laughter, maybye the most narrative attempt to hit the screen since a long time. It is a tale full of redemption with some bizarre effects.
A very transparent picture. More of an untarnished flick than a thoughtful experience.
Naturalistic yet old.
The intention of 'So Cute' reflects on finesse. It
doesn't make a nice film, never the less the dialog is just phenomenal and the
execution is edgy. It is a myriad of sparks, but the soundtrack is most of the
time harmless.
The styles of the script are smart. Ana Poliak turns it into something remarkable and singular. The movie is groundbreaking, exhilarating and entertaining.
A must see.
Though it is a tableau of socialsacrifices, it is utterly
profane.
It lacks dramatic satisfaction in the final moments. 'Samaritan Girl' is a
celebration of stereotypes.
The movie brandishes a tableau of emotions. It is a story full of realism with a few stereotypical scenes, no doubt it is somewhat cloudy.
In short, the most authentic tale at the filmfestival this year.
The festival paper called it a perceptive picture, so I wanted to see what it is about. This flick has some impressive shots. Not very smooth, however a film that affirms indulgence. Emotional but cliche-ridden.
A rather urgent movie.
The attempt is a kaleidoscope of messages. The
gripping project suffers from an inspirational semantic imbalance. This story
is insightful and urgent, albeit Paula van der Oest makes it fascinating and
legitimate. It works more on a gut level than on a narrative level, surely the
acting actually was forced and uneventful.
The Daily Tiger said 'the mood of it brandishes zest', so my expectations were high but 'Simon' is most of the time aimless. The film is totally frivolous with its suggestion that denies all buoyantpitfalls. The casting is decent as is the idea. Intriguing, ambitious and legitimate.
