Automatic translation of drunkmen's movie reviews on the Zone 5300 IFFR blog
My expectations were high. Arguably the most clever story in Rotterdam since a long time.
The tale is a flick full of effervescence with a few buoyant parts. Not very entertaining, surely it is an exercise of attitudes. A very perplexing work.
Though the style of the movie resonates effervescence, I thought it was pointless. It is in the end flawed, still 'Turtles Can Fly' is a tableau of laughs.
A cinematic letdown.
The moods of 'Nemmeno il destino' are unimpeachable. While the
story has some beauty-induced moments, it lacks personal suspense in the final
shots. This script ultimately falls short on effects, maybye the most cultural
picture to hit the big screen lately.
It is naturalistic, haunting and engaging. It is spellbinding and absorbing, perhaps Benoit Jacquot manages to transform it into something sincere. The soundtrack is philosophical as is the soundtrack.
A big achievement.
The attempt works equally fine on a symbolic and on an
emotional level, still the cinematography is most of the time pointless.
The film compels us to examine a melange of associations and sacrifices. The
tale actually was an ungainly story. A movie that denies finesse.
I expected a simply superb flick because Liorah who saw the first screening told me 'Cavite' was just enthralling. Bizarre and forgettable fun.
I heard a lot about this movie, so I wanted to see what the buzz is about. The script is a movie full of realism. Garrett Scott, Ian Olds makes it remarkable and distinctive. Though it is a lesson that analyses all loss with some smooth morals, it doesn't produce a fine attempt.
It is a myriad of sparks. The picture is an exploration of motivations.
A sensual, somewhat ironically profane, entertaining drag.
A rather insightful experience.
The messages of the tale are engaging.
Even if the mood of this story emanates zest, it becomes outrageous and
painful.
It is very flawed by overwrought dialog. Not exuberant, still 'Sumas y restas' is more of a literate movie than an encouraging film. 'Sumas y restas' is an analysis of laughs. Impeccable yet facile.
A very honest script.
Simply put, poignant, invigorating and thought-provoking.
It has some atmospheric scenes, however it is stereotypical. The flick is edgy, perhaps the most personal movie to hit theaters. A virtuoso letdown.
Smart but uneventful.
It is utterly flat with its exploration of guilt,
but perhaps the attempt works on many levels.
This picture attacks a
kaleidoscope of structuralassociations. It is a work full of meditation, but
still the composition suffers from a cliche-ridden execution in the end.
Despite the fact that a movie that reiterates cohesion, I didn't find 'Off Screen'
slick.
The flickgenerated a lot of buzz. The acting is amazing and the plot is urgent. It is an examination of certainemotions with a few enjoyable elements, no doubt Theo van Gogh's direction is disjointed.
The effect of this story is endowed with finesse. 'Nobody Knows' is totally forced. The ambitious film does not make an ok script. More of a pristine tale than a profound attempt.
It is simply a wonderful picture.
Whip-smart yet aimless.
The movie is a tableau of laughs. As much as it is
evocative, dazzling and irreverent, it is most of the time harmless.
Invigorating but overrated junk.
Emotional but vulgar. A must see.
A rather eloquent project.
It lacks psychological rigor in the final reel,
but the attitudes of it are naturalistic.
The movie has some thoughtful
shots. The perhaps profoundly intriguing flick actually was a predictable
movie. Not very exuberant, surely the tale works more on an erotic level than
on a visceral level.
'Bin-jip' evades an exercise of sparks. It is more of an elegaic flick than an unsettling story.
Memorable, buoyant and realistic.
The film ultimately falls short of
depth. This film is an attempt full of sin, probably the most auditory movie in
Rotterdam this year. 'Spying Cam' is a suggestion that deconstructs intention and
insight.
A must see.
The execution is groundbreaking. The script is a celebration of layouts, never the less it is very ungainly. It is perceptive and gripping with lots of fascinating styles.
The sacrifice of it brandishes laughter, albeit Eugenio Polgovsky's direction isn't visionary for everyone. The movie works equally well on a narrative level and a visual level, perhaps the cinematography doesn't result in a cool picture.
It is a myriad of effects. Nicolas Winding Refn turns it into a study of grace. Convincing, inspirational and upbeat.
A work that analyses redemption. The motivations of the movie are entertaining.
A picture that concerns innocence. Not very exuberant, still 'The Edukators' reverberates a study of depth. The messages of the attempt are upbeat.
The story is a tableau of sparks. A tale that affirms suspense, perhaps the most subliminal story in Rotterdam this year.
This movie works equally fine on a political and on a narrative level. It has some edgy moments, but Kees Hin's direction isn't evocative for everyone.
The film is just gorgeous.
Engrossing, entertaining and slick.
The almost suprisingly groundbreaking
work is in the end a pretentious attempt.
As much as it is a rather
fascinating script, it is somewhat flawed by a profane execution.
Expectations were high since the flickgenerated a lot of buzz but 'Late Bloomer' does not result in an enjoyable movie. The picture is a study of intentions. It is a movie full of humor, but still Shibata Go manages to turn it into something sensual and encouraging. It is an exercise of eroticassociations. More of a convincing tale than a substantial attempt.
Paul Bush makes it profound and absorbing. The dialog is haunting. Insightful yet pointless.
A must see.
The film is shattering and legitimate with some inspirational
shots. It suffers tightly from a toothless psychological imbalance in the end.
'Story Undone' reverberates an analysis that deconstructs all realism, but perhaps the
script becomes sentimental. It is utterly superficial, surely the motivations
of this story are perplexing.
The movie is a tableau of layouts. While the emotion of the project compels the viewer to accept meditation, I didn't find it emotional.
It all comes down to one long doodle.
I heard 'Hotel' is rather pleasant, so my expectations were high. It works more on an intellectual level than on a certain level. Not exhilarating, never the less it is a very memorable script.
More of a philosophical story than an urgent flick.
The picture is most of
the time pointless.
An attempt that analyses semantic rigor, however it is
flat. It is an exploration of stereotypes.
Perceptive, groundbreaking and whip-smart. Elegaic but overwrought.
The structure is fine as is the casting, arguably the most cultural film at the festival. The message of 'My Generation' is endowed with grace. A rather literate tale.
The movie has some sincere elements. The moods of this movie are smooth, still the structure doesn't produce a cool work. It is a suggestion of consistency. A tough letdown.
A very sensual story.
The script is a flick full of depth. 'So Cute' is a
melange of effects. Even if it ultimately lacks finesse, it is totally old with
its melange of structuralsparks. The authentic attempt suffers from schematic
acting in the final reel.
Intangible yet forced.
Expectations were high since Kim Ki-Duk is one of my favourite directors. 'Samaritan Girl' is pristine with lots of thoughtful stereotypes. It resonates a study of insights and attitudes, no doubt Kim Ki-Duk turns it into a kaleidoscope of styles. Not very engaging, albeit the picture works equally well on an auditory level and a social level.
Simply put, a buoyant, perhaps inherently enjoyable, compelling bore.
I expected a lot from this movie but the project actually was a frivolous film. The tale is thought-provoking, irreverent and smooth. It has some unimpeachable scenes, but it is extremely languid.
It is an absolutely brilliant movie.
More of a dazzling movie than an evocative story.
A script that
deconstructs sin, perhaps it is abominable.
It is most of the time
aimless, but still the intentions of it are bizarre. The filmmaking is smart
and the lighting is pleasant.
It is a lesson of pitfalls. Eddy Terstall's direction will not be to everyone's taste. More of a magical picture than a scumptious movie.
