Zilberman doesn’t just stop at the facts. He wonders where exactly the violence and radicalism of young people comes from (it should be remembered that Israel is now a very right-winged country, so in this sense Incitement are not only a story about past events, but also a warning about Israel’s future).
In Beanpole, the Russian candidate for the Academy Award, the world is drawn exactly as Dutch paintbrush masters have done it so many years ago. This is the world of ordinary women performing ordinary activities in soft light, which timidly bursts through the windows into the charming rooms of Leningrad’s tenement houses.
When I went to watch Parasite I expected many things. I expected the Korean artist to have fun with film genres, just as he did in his previous works. I expected – as in Snowpiercer – a strongly outlined class conflict and a clear devaluation of the forces (mainly the capital) behind capitalism as a system.
In recent years, viewers have been able to come into contact with different views on the still present – unfortunately – problem of sexual abuse by people of the Church, which I mentioned while reviewing Smarzowski’s Clergy. There are as many sensitivities as many looks on the subject.
Guests from the east come to Portugal, wanting to serve the aftermath of the Carnation Revolution, which first shook the foundations of the fascist dictatorship of Marcel Caetan, to effectively overthrow it later. We have 1975, a full year after the Revolution, which began to bring harvest.
Wilcox is a puff piece for today’s hermit for whom the mystical experience is the conscious abandonment of the capitalist world of people and gods in favor of the world of the beast, which is increasingly threatened by human greed.
The autothematic thread (the act of filming) smoothly passes into the documentary, creators collaborating with the local community, and the story of the beginnings of homo sapiens mixes with the experience of modern tourism – both local (the girl following the trail of her parents’ love) and postcolonial (the couple tourists from the United States who can only get along in their own language).
I hold to the principle that if I start watching a movie, I watch it to the end, so I feel a certain obligation to explain why I actually left Bird Talk.
30-year-old director is balancing on the edge of reality very well. He can hypnotize the viewer, strengthen the projection-identification (3D works very strongly here), the viewer’s bond with the hero and the impression of intermingling worlds.
We can rarely find a director who not only creates a good film, but is also able to clearly present his or her intellectual foundation, which, moreover, is noticeable on the screen. This is what the young artist Eni Sendijarević managed to do in Take Me Somewhere Nice.
