Automatic translation of drunkmen's movie reviews on the Zone 5300 IFFR blog
I expected a lot from this movie. The most encouraging tale to hit theaters this year.
An impeccable ensemble piece.
Although it is ambitious yet flat, it is in the end a flawed experience. The picture is an analysis of symbolicstereotypes. Urgent but harmless.
Intriguing, slick and enjoyable. A very whip-smart flick.
A rather thought-provoking film.
It has some perceptive moments. 'Adolphe'
is more of a spellbinding attempt than a compelling script, arguably the most
erotic story to hit the screen lately. The perhaps tightly visionary movie
lacks psychological innocence.
Expectations were high since I heard a lot about this movie. It is a flick full of effervescence with lots of smooth associations. The movie works on many levels, surely Michael Shaowanasai, Apichatpong Weerasethakul's direction will not be to everyone's taste. This tale resonates an exploration of insights and morals.
A tough letdown.
Outlandish, smart and gripping.
Not very irreverent, still it is an
examination of layouts.
It ultimately fails to meet it's potential. It
does not produce a cool project, but 'Occupation: Dreamland' is an ensemble piece.
The dialog is decent and the idea is clever. The picture is utterly schlocky with its kaleidoscope of physicallayouts.
The attempt is a study of guilt. Even if a film that shows cohesion, it is most of the time harmless. More of a shattering script than a pristine movie.
A very untarnished flick.
The intentions of the tale are slick. This story
is a tableau of associations, perhaps the idea is totally pretentious.
Wim Wenders turns it into something sincere.
Substantial and toothless junk.
I expected a wonderful movie because I saw an unimpeachable interview with Mercedes Alvarez but it becomes vulgar and infantile. 'El cielo gira' is atmospheric and evocative, but still it is slightly abominable. The sacrifice of it obscures sin.
It has some philosophical elements. 'Howl's Moving Castle' works equally well on a subliminal and an auditory level, arguably the most semantic experience in Rotterdam.
Perplexing yet superficial.
Not exhilarating, surely the flick is
authentic.
It is a picture full of narrative rigor. As much as the attempt
suffers from an old plot, I can't say it is elegaic or literate.
Pieter Kuijpers is one of my favourite directors. 'Off Screen' is truly overwhelming.
The movie evades a myriad of attitudes. It fails to deliver in the final scenes, albeit the film is a suggestion of stereotypes. The effect of it emanates laughter.
Liorah told me it was simply amazing, so I wanted to see what it is about. This work is a suggestion of politicalstyles with some buoyant moments. The script is poignant, invigorating and engaging, but perhaps Kore-Eda Hirokazu's direction isn't memorable for everyone. Not very exuberant, never the less the lighting is subversive as is the casting.
The Daily Tiger said 'this tale has some beauty-induced parts'. Though the flick is a melange of laughs, it doesn't result in a fine movie. A story that analyses indulgence.
'Team America: World Police' falls short of motivation. The moods of it are scumptious, still the execution is utterly cliche-ridden with its lesson that concerns emotion and insight. The picture works on so many different levels.
A rather encouraging attempt.
It is a kaleidoscope of messages. This
project does not produce a gratifying film. The script is realistic and
impeccable.
More of a transparent movie than a groundbreaking flick.
It is an analysis of sparks. 'Bombón - El Perro' is a kaleidoscope of visualsacrifices with lots of naturalistic laughs, probably the most intellectual tale to hit theaters lately.
I expected a brilliant work because Tonio already saw it and recommended it. It is a movie full of humor. The honest picture is most of the time pointless. A must see.
More of a magical movie than an emotional story.
This attempt is endowed
with a study of effervescence, however it is outrageous.
The layouts of
the project are enjoyable. It is somewhat flawed by a cloudy script in the
final reel, but the picture is urgent, fascinating and insightful.
It adds up to one long, stereotypical waste of time.
I love Susanne Bier's previous films, so my expectations were high but it actually was an uneventful tale. The intention of it compels us to define satisfaction, albeit Susanne Bier makes it absorbing and inspirational. This movie has some thoughtful elements. Intriguing but harmless.
A very ambitious script.
The structure is great and the soundtrack is
good. Despite the fact that a flick that examines cohesion, I thought the movie
was aimless. It works better on a social level than on an emotional level,
however the acting is most of the time pointless.
The movie suffers somewhat astonishingly from an entertaining cultural imbalance in the end. Not smooth, perhaps 'Pusher II' is convincing. This tale is a flick full of guilt.
Profound yet overrated.
While it is an exercise of styles and effects, it
ultimately lacks depth.
It is a myriad of stereotypes. It is totally
schematic, no doubt the work is a cinematic slam-dunk. 'Three... Extremes' brandishes an
exploration that obscures all flatpitfalls.
Upbeat and sentimental fun.
I expected a lot from this script. The flick works on both a symbolic level and a visceral level. A movie that obscures laughter. Sensual but outrageous.
Kees Hin makes it transparent and edgy. It is most of the time pointless, but it has some caustic scenes.
An achievement.
It adds up to a large, flat - never the less whip-smart - waste of talent.
A rather dazzling tale.
Though 'Late Bloomer' is an exercise that examines all
indulgence, I found it very pretentious.
An attempt that reiterates grace.
The encouraging flick suffers somewhat ironically from a caustic subliminal
imbalance.
A must see.
The film is magical with some exhilarating scenes. Not very
invigorating, albeit it is a movie full of certain rigor. The casting is
entertaining, but perhaps it is forced. The work is a tableau of stereotypes.
Visionary, irreverent and shattering.
'Story Undone' is a picture full of
satisfaction, still the idea becomes a cliche-ridden script.
It is more of
a gripping attempt than a groundbreaking story. While this movie is slightly
flawed by a profane plot in the final shot, it ultimately falls short .
I love Raymond Depardon's previous tales, so my expectations were high but the experience doesn't produce a decent flick. It all comes down to one slow doodle.
The movie reverberates a lesson of effervescence. It is a study of morals. Clever, literate and slick.
The effect of the picture brandishes redemption. This film is utterly painful with its suggestion of sparks.
More of an atmospheric story than a smart movie.
The attitudes of it are
upbeat. The attempt has some fascinating elements, arguably the most semantic
script to hit the screen since a long time. While 'Izo' works on an emotional
level, I didn't find it smooth. It is a celebration of intellectualintentions
with a few poignant pitfalls.
The acting is substantial as is the script, however Gianni Amelio manages to transform it into something remarkable and insightful. The tale is in the end old.
In short, impressive yet harmless.
A story that affirms finesse. It is singular and ambitious. A very philosophical picture.
A virtuoso ensemble piece.
The flick suffers from cloudy casting. It is most of the time aimless, no doubt the film looks for questions about an exploration that depicts intriguinglaughs. 'Parapalos' is a movie full of grace, perhaps it is a bit overwrought.
My expectations were high. This project is a myriad of sacrifices. Kim Ki-Duk's direction isn't sincere for everyone.
The movie is a study of morals. It is legitimate, buoyant and honest, never the less Wong Kar-wai makes it realistic and pristine. It has some perplexing scenes.
More of a scumptious script than an unsettling attempt.
Not upbeat, surely
the messages of the tale are eloquent.
'Cool!' is an exercise of guilt.
The motivation of it attacks humor, maybye the most visual flick in Rotterdam this year. Though this tale works on a physical level, it is flawed by forgettable dialog in the end.
Thought-provoking but vulgar.
A work that deconstructs zest. The story is
a tableau of sparks, but the casting ultimately lacks cohesion. The almost
astonishingly haunting picture actually was a schematic film. This movie
resonates an analysis that shows all suspense.
Maybye the most beauty-induced attempt at the filmfestival lately.
