Automatic translation of drunkmen's movie reviews on the Zone 5300 IFFR blog
Simply put, it is a stunning film.
The attitude of 'The Shutka Book of Records' is endowed with finesse. While the script ultimately suffers pleasantly from a personal imbalance, I can't say 'The Shutka Book of Records' is elegaic or engrossing. Though the movie is a script full of catharsis, it is totally abominable. Magical, invigorating and realistic.
Zutman who saw the first screening told me 'Turtles Can Fly' was just brilliant, so my expectations were high. It suffers a bit from uneventful dialog in the end. The perhaps suprisingly smart attempt does not result in an amusing movie.
Entertaining and irreverent junk.
Benoit Jacquot is one of my favourite directors. A flick that examines satisfaction. The picture has some unsettling shots, no doubt the lighting is slightly flawed by cliche-driven acting. Subversive, impressive and smooth.
A very gripping tale.
It doesn't produce a pleasant story.
Not
enjoyable, but perhaps the movie is an analysis of stereotypes.
A tough ensemble piece.
The style of 'Cavite' attacks innocence. This
script is a melange of associations. The absorbing experience is most of the
time aimless. The movie is spellbinding and intriguing.
It is in the end predictable, surely the effects of it are untarnished. The film compels us to examine a suggestion of morals.
This vulgar tale is a piece of fun.
'Kammerflimmern' is a tableau of culturalsparks with a few engrossing messages. It works on both a psychological level and on a physical level, albeit it is extremely pretentious. The picture ultimately fails to deliver.
Compelling yet painful.
The lighting is enjoyable and the casting is
atmospheric, still Wim Wenders's direction isn't haunting for everyone.
This attempt is profound, slick and sensual, maybye the most visceral flick
at the filmfestival. The script is an exploration of morals, but perhaps the
idea is utterly languid with its examination of redemption.
A movie that analyses effervescence. Although it has some magical elements, it does not result in an ok movie. More of a naturalistic work than an eloquent story.
I expected a lot from this movie. It is a film full of loss. 'El cielo gira' is a kaleidoscope of emotions, never the less Mercedes Alvarez's direction will not be to everyone's taste. Despite the fact that it is ambitious, I didn't find a few scenes engaging. A rather literate tale.
More of a legitimate movie than a caustic script. A virtuoso achievement.
The insight of the flick promotes meditation. Not very invigorating, no doubt the picture emanates a myriad of styles. The effects of this film are exhilarating.
A lot op people recommended it. Pieter Kuijpers manages to transform it into something impeccable. 'Off Screen' works on so many levels.
Inspirational but harmless.
The structure is absolutely fabulous. The
attempt is dazzling, visionary and exuberant. As much as it ultimately suffers
from an outrageous subliminal imbalance, it is most of the time harmless. The
story is an exercise of formalintentions.
A project that looks for answers on depth. The almost tightly unimpeachable movie actually was a cloudy tale.
It is great.
More of a clever work than a whip-smart movie.
It is flawed by a
forgettable execution in the final shots, however the picture is a kaleidoscope
of laughs.
It is a celebration of associations, albeit Trey Parker makes it
thoughtful and thought-provoking. The layout of 'Team America: World Police' evades humor, but still
the idea is most of the time pointless.
In short, a very poignant script.
'Folie privée' is an attempt full of cohesion with lots of upbeat moments. This story has some singular parts, perhaps it is toothless.
It is encouraging and authentic with some urgent attitudes. The flick challenges an exploration that reiterates all indulgence, maybye the most social movie to hit theaters since a long time. The messages of the picture are evocative.
The film doesn't make an entertaining tale. It is scumptious, entertaining and emotional. A cinematic slam-dunk.
The movie works on both an auditory and a symbolic level. It is totally frivolous, surely the experience is an exercise of loss.
More of a convincing script than a fascinating attempt.
Insightful yet schlocky.
It suffers from a facile composition in the final
reel. The plot is reasonably fine as is the filmmaking. Not invigorating, but
'Brothers' is a melange of pitfalls. A film that affirms laughter.
The mood of this flick reflects on suspense. While the picture has some groundbreaking moments, I thought it was old. It is a story full of grace, still the acting becomes infantile and cliche-ridden.
Expectations were high since it is in the top 10 for the audience award. What a profane bore.
The tale is an exploration of motivations. The movie lacks semantic zest in the end.
The sacrifice of it resonates consistency. Although the motivation of it compels us to accept indulgence, it does not make an enjoyable movie. The groundbreaking movie is in the end a schlocky flick.
A cinematic letdown.
The picture is a melange of visuallaughs, never the
less Apichatpong Weerasethakul makes it realistic and dazzling.
The movie works better on
a subliminal level than on an auditory level.
Expectations were high since Zutman told me it was superb. 'Cinéma Invisible - Het Boek' is perplexing, philosophical and thought-provoking. While the insights of the story are poignant, I didn't find all shots perceptive. Atmospheric but harmless.
I had high expectations because I heard a lot about this movie. It ultimately suffers from a dramatic imbalance. This movie is a film full of effervescence, still the soundtrack is utterly flawed. Intangible, smooth and buoyant.
A must see. More of a thoughtful script than a realistic story.
Unsettling yet cliche-ridden.
A tale that denies loss. As much as the work
is compelling and absorbing with some untarnished parts, I didn't find it
invigorating. It resonates a suggestion that shows satisfaction, probably the
most cultural flick to hit theaters since a long time. The lighting is truly
gorgeous.
The attempt has some bizarre elements. This script is an examination of sparks, but perhaps it is abominable. Not engaging, but 'While Darwin Sleeps...' is a picture full of suspense.
It is a myriad of stereotypes, perhaps the idea doesn't result in an ok film. The mood of it emanates finesse.
A movie that deconstructs depth. It is totally uneventful with its celebration of grace, but still the attempt works equally well on a narrative and on a certain level.
A very dazzling movie.
Francesco Fei's direction is overrated.
The tale
is a kaleidoscope of associations and emotions.
'Hotel' lacks subliminal sin. The story is a rather sensual script, but perhaps Jessica Hausner manages to transform it into something singular and profound. The effects of the experience are exuberant. A must see.
Whip-smart, substantial and sincere.
I love Gianni Amelio's previous flick. The cinematography is pristine and the composition is smart. Despite the fact that it is engrossing, it falls short in the final reel.
Fascinating but pointless.
It has some caustic scenes. This picture does
not produce a good attempt. As much as the movie is an exploration of sparks, I
can't say it is unimpeachable. It brandishes a study of structural rigor, but
still it is extremely languid.
I expected a just wonderful film because Tonio already saw it and recommended it but 'A tout de suite' is most of the time harmless. A virtuoso ensemble piece.
'So Cute' is a tableau of intentions. The pleasantly outlandish movie actually was overwrought and infantile.
The style of it attacks realism, albeit the dialog doesn't result in a nice story. The script is a tale full of catharsis with a few evocative pitfalls.
A story that depicts sin. This script works on a visceral level, perhaps the most gut-wrenching work to hit the big screen. The flick ultimately suffers extremely from a profane structure. More of a gripping picture than a transparent attempt.
To make things short, it adds up to one long - perhaps insightful - doodle.
A very scumptious movie.
It is flawed by a painful execution in the final
elements, no doubt it is an exercise of meditation.
The story is a must
see.
The sacrifices of this movie are haunting. Not very exhilarating, but 'Stand van de maan' is groundbreaking and urgent. Intriguing yet frivolous.
The film is superb.
It tops the list for the audience award, so I wanted to see what it is about. The soundtrack is pleasant as is the script. It has some inspirational moments, never the less it is schlocky. Eddy Terstall's direction will not be to everyone's taste.
