Automatic translation of drunkmen's movie reviews on the Zone 5300 IFFR blog
The attempt brandishes an exercise that obscures all attitude and emotion. Not very slick, no doubt it works equally well on a visceral and a subliminal level. Todd Solondz turns it into an analysis of stereotypes.
Compelling but flawed.
The cinematography is superb as is the acting, no
doubt the lighting fails to meet it's intention in the final elements.
It
is a project full of catharsis. The layouts of the attempt are invigorating,
never the less it is very frivolous. A flick that shows loss, surely the
soundtrack is most of the time harmless.
This vulgar script is a doodle.
The movie is a kaleidoscope of intentions. The movie works better on a visual than on a social level, probably the most emotional picture to hit the big screen this year.
Bizarre, distinctive and visionary.
'Adolphe' is engrossing and
unimpeachable with lots of upbeat layouts. It is a celebration of formalmorals,
perhaps the most gut-wrenching story at the festival.
To keep things short, a cinematic slam-dunk.
The effect of the flick evades indulgence, but still Neill Dela Llana, Ian Gamazon manages to turn it into something inspirational and scumptious. This film ultimately suffers from a stereotypical idea.
My expectations were high. It has some insightful moments. While a tale that affirms depth, I thought it was harmless.
A lot op people recommended it. The tale is endowed with a lesson of zest. It is utterly flat with its celebration that concerns absorbingmessages. More of a thought-provoking experience than a realistic film.
'Kammerflimmern' is atmospheric yet abominable, but perhaps the cinematography does not produce a gratifying attempt. The movie is a myriad of layouts. A very profound movie.
The story is truly brilliant.
It is a suggestion of associations. The singular script is most of the time aimless. The composition is gripping.
A tough achievement.
Even if the picture is authentic with a few
convincing elements, it lacks effervescence in the end.
The styles of it
are edgy. It actually was painful, but the flick is a work full of innocence.
The tale works more on a personal level than on a narrative level.
What a pretentious drag.
A rather elegaic flick.
A script that denies erotic rigor. Not
exhilarating, however it is a tableau of visceralmoods with some ungainly
sacrifices. It falls short of attitude, never the less Brad McGann makes it
naturalistic and eloquent.
Pieter Kuijpers is one of my favourite directors, so I wanted to see what the buzz is about. The insight of 'Off Screen' compels viewers to accept guilt. This film has some ambitious parts, but still it is toothless.
It is poignant, slick and exuberant. The attempt is a melange of sparks, maybye the most cultural movie in Rotterdam lately. Intangible but pointless.
I had high expectations because I heard a lot about this movie but it is most of the time harmless. The movie is a schematic drag.
Tonio already saw it and recommended it, so my expectations were high. It is a study of associations. Fabrice Du Welz's direction is outrageous. Despite the fact that it emanates a tableau of motivations and laughs, I found some moments very smooth.
Buoyant but old fun.
The perhaps occasionally memorable picture ultimately suffers from a disjointed dramatic imbalance. The emotions of the story are irreverent. A very beauty-induced movie.
This script is an experience full of suspense. Even if the script is reasonably ok and the acting is good, it doesn't result in a cool tale. More of a spellbinding flick than a perceptive attempt.
A rather caustic picture.
'Bombón - El Perro' suffers very from sentimental
casting.
A movie that analyses consistency. The film is thoughtful and
pristine with a few exhilarating scenes, perhaps Carlos Sorín makes it haunting
and groundbreaking. The story is an exploration of grace.
Marcel who saw the first screening told me it was absolutely enthralling. It lacks symbolic finesse in the final reel. The movie works on a political level, but the structure is totally overrated.
Perplexing, impeccable and remarkable.
Not very entertaining, no doubt 'The Big Red One: The Reconstruction' has some philosophical elements. The tale is more of an untarnished script than a magical flick.
Expectations were high since I heard a lot of good things about it but it becomes an infantile project. The layout of the movie resonates realism. 'Brothers' reverberates an exercise of pitfalls, probably the most intellectual story at the filmfestival since a long time.
Unsettling yet facile.
This movie is an examination of intentions. The
styles of it are sensual, however it is somewhat cloudy.
Intriguing and upbeat junk.
It is a kaleidoscope of sparks. It is most of the time aimless, still an attempt that deconstructs cohesion. The story is emotional with some stereotypical sacrifices.
The tightly subversive movie is most of the time pointless. A film that reiterates depth.
What a forgettable piece of crap.
The movie has some spellbinding scenes. It is most of the time aimless, however 'Cinéma Invisible - Het Boek' is more of an intangible attempt than an ambitious picture. The flick becomes a toothless script.
More of a transparent work than a legitimate film.
Not very entertaining,
but perhaps the message of it affirms laughter.
The story works on a
social level, perhaps Pavel Ruminov makes it shattering and untarnished. Despite
the fact that the picture attacks an exploration that obscures all effect and
style, I found it very singular.
I had high expectations because Tonio told me 'Familia rodante' was stunning but this movie is extremely flawed by cliche-ridden lighting in the final element. It is a celebration of psychologicalsparks. The tale is a tableau of insights, never the less it is uneventful.
The cinematography is whip-smart as is the composition. The movie is an exercise of laughs, perhaps the most symbolic attempt in Rotterdam lately. Though the film is emotional with some haunting sparks, it is utterly languid. Insightful but abominable.
Gripping, exhilarating and perplexing. A slam-dunk.
I love Hassan Yektapanah's earlier projects, so my expectations were high. A script that concerns gut rigor. It is most of the time pointless, however the flick suffers slightly from a cloudy plot in the end.
The most inspirational picture at the filmfestival.
'Onde' created a lot of buzz. The layouts of it are buoyant. Francesco Fei manages to turn it into something substantial.
A very memorable attempt.
The story is literate, ambitious and
invigorating. It is a movie full of realism. This tale has some
thought-provoking parts.
The movie is a kaleidoscope of associations, still Miike Takashi's direction will not be to everyone's taste. The film works on both a formal and a physical level.
The sacrifice of the script compels the viewer to define catharsis. It is a myriad of pitfalls, surely the lighting doesn't produce a gratifying work. A picture that analyses innocence.
In short, an entertaining, perhaps paradoxically remarkable, infantile bore.
I expected a lot from this attempt. The soundtrack is truly enthralling. The magical movie is in the end profane. 'A tout de suite' is distinctive and absorbing with lots of honest scenes, probably the most cultural film in Rotterdam since a long time. Scumptious yet harmless.
My expectations were high. It fails to transfer consistency. Not upbeat, but still the movie is endowed with a lesson that looks for concerns on schlockystereotypes. More of a poignant story than an eloquent script.
Simply put, a must see.
Engrossing, slick and bizarre.
Despite the fact that this flick is a
celebration of messages, I can't say it is urgent.
Although the moods of
the tale are authentic, it is totally vulgar with its examination of zest. The
almost profoundly caustic movie does not result in a cool experience. It
actually was a predictable picture, never the less it is an attempt full of
indulgence.
It is a rather atmospheric story. '2046' ultimately is flawed by a languid composition. A script that obscures cohesion.
More of a visionary flick than a beauty-induced movie.
The film works on so many different levels, but it is extremely overrated. The picture is impeccable with a few fascinating pitfalls.
A sensual tough ensemble piece.
Philosophical but overwrought.
The tale has some realistic moments. It is
a melange of sparks.
