Oh my... I hated this film. HATED IT. I hated the postcard-like photography, the annoying voice-over, the frantic Matrix-like editing, and the cool camera movements that are million miles from the poverty and drama of the subject matter. I hated the absolute lack of humour, and the director's cynicism in turning such a dramatic story into a video game, almost literally.

And Frances McDormand and Tilda Swinton are just great. Tilda Swinton's in the harem with this. And J.K. Simmons has a little part that he plays so brilliantly. One of the funniest and most entertaining I've seen in a while.

I wanted to see this again to check if it is really a lesser Kubrick as some critics believe. It is quite good really, with some excellent points: James Mason, Sue Lyon, and above all Shelley Winters are great; the scene of Shelley Winters' death is a favourite of mine. What I just can't appreciate is Sellers' place in the film: the scene outside the hotel, when he talks to Humbert without ever looking at him, is so wrong, it just doesn't work. His acting is so fake that you wonder how is it possible Humbert doesn't realize the other guy is a fake?

Director: Alan J. Pakula | ||
imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071970/ |
Seen this for the first time today. After the first scenes, I thought the film would go towards Antonioni's Blowup (1966) and Coppola's The Conversation (1974); after one character shows another a photo, asking "Have you seen this photograph?", I almost hoped it would. But it doesn't. There is the same sense of paranoia found in Coppola's film of the same year though, and Capricorn One (1978), and the same 'look' of those films. The end is similar to that of Arlington Road (1999), the film influenced by the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995, which, incidentally, contains one of my favourite scenes: a short one in which a very spooky Joan Cusack suddenly appears behind another character at a public phone (in the same way seen in many films by Brian De Palma).

It's also my favourite role for Johnny Depp, even though I haven't seen Dead Man yet.

The Dark Knight...second take
09-Aug-08 | The Dark Knight (2008) | Cinema |
Director: Christopher Nolan | ||
imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/ |
Today, among other things, I paid extra attention to Gary Oldman. After the first time I saw this movie, I was surprised to find out that one of the actors who had been on the screen for quite some time was actually Gary Oldman: I had not recognized him, even though I thought I knew his face well. Today it was almost fascinating to realize that a pair of (fake?) mustache, a pair of glasses and a certain hairstyle could tranform a face beyond recognition. And this thought brought back to mind another role which Gary Oldman played without being recognizable: the rich Mason Verger in Ridley Scott's Hannibal (2001). And while my mind was wandering between these two films, there it happens on the screen: the Joker threatens another villain to cut his face and feed it to the villain's dogs. That is the same way Mason Verger had become disfigured: he had cut his face and fed it to his own dogs ("It seemed like a good idea at the time").
To note also a tiny cameo of Cillian Murphy: was his part meant to be bigger and ended up on the floor of the editing room?

This morning, among the people watching the movie - Dublin, Ireland, CineWorld Cinema, Screen 10, 11am - I noticed a particularly high number of folks who were clearly overweight. More than usual, I believe. And I couldn't help thinking that most of the audience were fans of the TV serial, which means long time sitting on the couch watching telly, eating junk,... Mmm, that could be.
I am 37 years old and I have never watched a single episode.
Nothing worth noting on the film. I still can't understand though how two people who are not agents anymore, who have been knowing each other and working together for years keep calling each other by family names. Even while kissing. Even in bed. Try it with your partner, if you can. Without laughing that is.
A very special film
What is the best film I have ever seen? No doubt: Fellini's 8 1/2. Would I watch it every day? Probably not. Are there other films I love? Tens and tens of them. Would I watch any of them every day? Probably not ... except Fred Zinnemann's The Day of the Jackal (1973). This is a marvellous film I keep going back to, again and again. Whenever I want to watch something, but I can't decide what, when there is nothing that is appealing enough, I can always turn to The Day of the Jackal and watch it and enjoy it as it were for the first time. Roger Ebert ends his 4-star review of this film with this sentence:
"There are some words you hesitate to use in a review, because they sound so much like advertising copy, but in this case I can truthfully say that the movie is spellbinding."
He is absolutely right.

The Dark Knight
26-Jul-08 | The Dark Knight (2008) | Cinema |
Director: Christopher Nolan | ||
imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/ |
The very first scene has obviously been influenced by Michael Mann's Heat (1995), to the point that it almost plays as a mini-homage to that great film. In other parts, there are echoes of Nolan's own The Prestige (2006) - some references to 'magic tricks', Christian Bale's face, etc...
All the positive things written about Heath Ledger's Joker are absolutely deserved. His performance is incredibly exciting, fun to watch. It's a pity he's not around to receive the praise he deserves.
Overall a very enjoyable film, even though slightly too long. I'll see it again, just to re-enjoy The Joker's tricks and laughs.
