Automatic translation of drunkmen's movie reviews on the Zone 5300 IFFR blog
More of an urgent tale than an unsettling flick.
The work works equally
well on a political level and on a dramatic level, surely it is toothless.
The story does not produce an entertaining picture. Although this flick is
atmospheric with a few irreverent stereotypes, I can't say it is profound. The
picture is a tale full of effervescence, but perhaps the plot doesn't make a
good movie.
'The Shutka Book of Records' has some eloquent elements. Though the composition is excellent and the script is okay, it is in the end a forced movie.
It ranks high in the contest of most popular movies, so I wanted to see what the buzz is about. It suffers actually from a cliche-driven plot. The film is a myriad of layouts, still Bahman Ghobadi manages to transform it into something outlandish. It is remarkable and subversive. Ambitious, exuberant and visionary.
Unimpeachable but sentimental. More of a perceptive attempt than a beauty-induced project.
A tough ensemble piece.
The script is a very literate movie. This story
emanates an analysis of indulgence.
Not very enjoyable, but still a flick that raises concerns on loss. The dialog is bizarre as is the structure. More of a realistic tale than a magical picture.
The styles of the script are engaging. Even if this film works more on a psychological than on a dramatic level, I thought it was overwrought.
It is simply an overwhelming flick.
Simply put, a rather honest movie.
I expected a lot from this experience but 'Kammerflimmern' is utterly uneventful. It has some unsettling moments. Hendrik Hölzemann makes it memorable and dazzling. The movie is an attempt full of redemption.
Authentic, perplexing and invigorating.
It is most of the time harmless,
albeit it is a melange of structuralsacrifices.
The emotion of the tale
reflects on catharsis, but it is extremely old. It is an exploration of sparks,
maybye the most emotional story to hit theaters. A film that denies grace.
Elegaic yet pointless.
This picture is flawed by profane cinematography in
the final reel. The filmmaking is ok.
I heard a lot about this movie, so my expectations were high. 'El cielo gira' is distinctive, exhilarating and fascinating. The script is a kaleidoscope of motivations, perhaps the dialog does not result in an amusing movie.
It is haunting with lots of spellbinding scenes. 'Howl's Moving Castle' brandishes a myriad of laughs, no doubt Miyazaki Hayao makes it intangible and inspirational.
This flick is a vulgar drag.
The perhaps astonishingly sensual movie ultimately lacks depth. The film is a work full of zest. A must see.
More of a pristine tale than a scumptious attempt.
While the message of
the story resonates finesse, it is slightly flawed by a cliche-ridden idea.
The picture actually was outrageous. The moods of it are profound, never the
less it is ungainly. It works on both a social level and a certain level.
My expectations were high. The movie has some convincing shots. Not entertaining, however the flick is a celebration of attitudes.
Fabrice Du Welz is one of my favourite directors. The most caustic movie to hit the screen lately.
It is listed high on the list for the audience award, so I wanted to see 'Team America: World Police'. This script is a suggestion of guilt. While the execution is impressive as is the casting, I can't say it is upbeat or insightful. The attempt is a very smart film.
'Casshern' ultimately suffers from a gut imbalance, perhaps the most symbolic tale to hit theaters since a long time. The experience is a tableau of sparks. More of an encouraging story than a whip-smart movie.
A picture that concerns humor. It is poignant and emotional, surely it is a bit schlocky.
It is great.
I heard a lot of good things about it. It adds up to one large, uneventful - albeit intriguing - bore.
Groundbreaking, gripping and slick. Absorbing but sentimental.
Ambitious, buoyant and urgent.
This flick is a study of laughs. It
reverberates a celebration of subliminaleffects. 'The Big Red One: The Reconstruction' has some ambitious
parts, still Samuel Fuller's direction will not be to everyone's taste.
The work is a movie full of suspense with a few cloudy sparks. It is most of the time aimless, but still the insight of the movie attacks meditation. While this film works on a personal level, it suffers from abominable lighting in the final element. A rather thought-provoking attempt.
I expected a truly terrific tale because Zutman already saw it and recommended it but it is totally cliche-driven with its exercise that reiterates all smoothemotions. The layouts of the script are exhilarating, but perhaps the idea becomes a forced movie. 'Tropico de cancer' is a tableau of pitfalls.
More of an evocative story than a perceptive flick.
The legitimate
experience doesn't make a fine picture.
Nicolas Winding Refn makes it realistic and
visionary. Though the cinematography is just good, I can't say it is
philosophical. The movie is a melange of eroticlaughs.
A letdown.
I expected a enthralling movie because Tonio already saw it and recommended it. The moods of the film are upbeat. Despite the fact that it is thoughtful, entertaining and sensual, it lacks visual humor.
A movie that shows innocence. The emotion of the film compels viewers to accept consistency, never the less Apichatpong Weerasethakul makes it unimpeachable and atmospheric. It is a story full of finesse with lots of enjoyable insights.
A rather inspirational picture.
As much as the work works more on a gut
than on a semantic level, it becomes outrageous and forgettable.
It is
most of the time pointless, never the less 'Cinéma Invisible - Het Boek' is fascinating. The
whip-smart script does not result in an entertaining movie. The structure is
just gorgeous.
Not exuberant, albeit it is a lesson that denies style and effect. The attempt is an exploration of attitudes. Engrossing, magical and invigorating.
Upbeat but abominable fun.
I heard a lot about this movie. The flick suffers somewhat pleasantly from a dramatic imbalance in the final reel. This story is a melange of sacrifices, probably the most personal tale in Rotterdam this year.
'While Darwin Sleeps...' has some perceptive elements. The layout of it challenges effervescence, but it is very facile.
Naturalistic but flat.
A film that obscures subliminal rigor. The moods of
the movie are dazzling. It is utterly cliche-ridden, never the less the movie
compels the viewer to define a study of meditation.
The Daily Tiger said 'it is legitimate, buoyant and bizarre', so I wanted to see what the attempt is about. It adds up to a long doodle.
A very sincere script.
It is a myriad of stereotypes, but perhaps the
composition fails in it's visual exploration.
The picture is totally
stereotypical with its exercise of associations. Though 'Onde' is
groundbreaking and intriguing with some thoughtful shots, I thought it was
disjointed. The project works equally well on a certain and on a psychological
level.
This attempt is a story full of realism, maybye the most narrative movie to hit theaters lately. 'Hotel' is a melange of auditoryemotions. More of a haunting flick than an elegaic tale.
The cinematography is transparent as is the plot. The film is an examination of messages, surely Miike Takashi makes it convincing and unsettling. Not very slick, but still it is a tableau of laughs. Distinctive, smart and exhilarating.
I expected a lot from this movie. The picture has some untarnished shots. Despite the fact that the motivations of it are entertaining, it actually was an ungainly movie.
A must see. Impeccable yet pretentious.
The script evades a celebration of cohesion, still it is schlocky. The experience is actually flawed by flawed casting. Ambitious, smooth and literate.
More of a clever story than a scumptious movie.
'So Cute' is a rather
pristine tale. A flick that examines depth.
A cinematic slam-dunk.
It is most of the time aimless, perhaps the
intention of this attempt emanates laughter.
It works on so many levels,
no doubt the dialog falls short on stereotypes in the final moment. Ana Poliak
manages to turn it into a kaleidoscope of effects and laughs. The virtually
absorbing film doesn't make a pleasant project.
I saw a philosophical interview with Kim Ki-Duk, so my expectations were high but it is utterly superficial. 'Samaritan Girl' is substantial with lots of languid stereotypes. Even if the movie is a picture full of loss, I found it very engaging. The soundtrack is wonderful and the script is enjoyable.
The flick has some beauty-induced elements. The styles of the tale are memorable, probably the most symbolic story to hit the big screen this year.
Poignant but overrated.
It is a myriad of morals. Not irreverent, albeit it suffers from a disjointed execution in the end.
Paula van der Oest is one of my favourite directors. While the script is a study that denies all suspense, it is in the end schematic. 'Verborgen gebreken' is an exploration of associations. A very honest film.
I love Eddy Terstall's earlier movies, so my expectations were high. It attacks an analysis of culturalsacrifices. The experience does not result in an ok attempt. The insight of the movie is endowed with indulgence.
