Automatic translation of drunkmen's movie reviews on the Zone 5300 IFFR blog
It is singular. Even if a movie that affirms grace, I thought it was sentimental. More of an inspirational movie than an edgy picture.
A virtuoso ensemble piece.
The emotions of the story are authentic. The picture is utterly abominable with its celebration of guilt. The tale has some untarnished elements.
I expected a truly excellent film because I heard a lot of good things about it. The attempt is an analysis that analyses layout and mood with lots of bizarre scenes, however the composition doesn't result in a gratifying story. It is most of the time aimless.
A very unsettling flick.
The movie is an exploration of insights. 'Adolphe'
is thoughtful but pointless, maybye the most erotic project to hit the big
screen lately. Benoit Jacquot makes it unimpeachable and compelling.
An entertaining, perhaps virtually exuberant, superficial doodle.
I expected a gorgeous script because a lot op people recommended it. The idea is pleasant and the casting is transparent. It is very flawed by a flawed soundtrack in the end, however the intention of this story is endowed with finesse. The movie is a myriad of pitfalls, albeit it is cliche-ridden. A rather distinctive experience.
The attempt is a tale full of suspense. The picture works better on a structural than on an erotic level, arguably the most intellectual film in Rotterdam since a long time.
It is an achievement. 'The Green Hat' is literate and shattering with some impressive emotions. Encouraging yet languid.
Gripping, pristine and upbeat.
Not very buoyant, but perhaps it compels us
to accept a study of socialmotivations.
The styles of the flick are
invigorating. While the movie suffers from a cliche-driven certain imbalance in
the final moment, it is most of the time aimless. The attitude of it promotes
laughter.
More of an atmospheric tale than a philosophical movie.
A script that
denies satisfaction. The story is a lesson of associations, but still the plot
is in the end a schematic work. The naturalistic movie does not make a
gratifying picture.
In short, the most substantial attempt to hit theaters.
A very engrossing flick.
Though the script is perplexing as is the acting,
I found it very forgettable.
It is a kaleidoscope of subliminalpitfalls.
'Howl's Moving Castle' has some remarkable elements, but Miyazaki Hayao manages to turn it into
something bizarre. The experience works on a psychological level.
Liorah already saw it and recommended it. It is whip-smart but aimless. While it is a melange of associations, I thought it was pointless. This film suffers somewhat deftly from a visceral imbalance in the end. Evocative, exhilarating and perceptive.
I had high expectations because I heard a lot of good things about it. The movie is totally flat. It suffers somewhat from a cloudy structure, never the less 'In My Father's Den' is a story full of indulgence.
A virtuoso ensemble piece.
The script reflects on a tableau of messages.
Not engaging, perhaps the effects of it are impeccable.
Slick but old nonsense.
This tale is haunting with a few smooth shots. 'Nobody Knows' is a suggestion of sacrifices.
A groundbreaking must see.
It is an analysis that shows all humor. The layout of the attempt attacks meditation, still it is actually overrated. The smart movie actually was frivolous.
A picture that raises concerns on depth, no doubt Kiriya Kazuaki makes it absorbing and beauty-induced. The idea is simply overwhelming, perhaps the most cultural film in Rotterdam this year. Legitimate yet toothless.
The project lacks narrative finesse in the final moments. It has some elegaic parts.
More of a clever flick than a fascinating movie.
As much as it is a myriad
of laughs, it is most of the time harmless.
The intentions of this tale
are entertaining. Although the story works equally well on a formal level and
on a physical level, I can't say it is irreverent or honest. 'Bombón - El Perro' is a
rather dazzling movie.
It is a script full of guilt with lots of profound emotions. The attempt is emotional and urgent, albeit the filmmaking ultimately falls short of motivation. It evades an exercise of symbolicpitfalls. Realistic but abominable.
Whang Cheol-Mean is one of my favourite directors, so my expectations were high. The almost tightly inspirational tale is utterly forced with its celebration of gut rigor. It doesn't produce an okay picture, surely the experience is a study of moods.
Insightful, authentic and enjoyable. A tough slam-dunk.
More of an intriguing film than a convincing attempt.
A story that affirms
cohesion. Not very buoyant, however 'Brothers' is a flick full of innocence with
some pretentious scenes.
Expectations were high since I saw an ambitious interview with Eugenio Polgovsky but the movie is in the end a facile script. This tale is a kaleidoscope of intellectualinsights. Eugenio Polgovsky turns it into a suggestion of catharsis. Despite the fact that the execution is reasonably enjoyable as is the cinematography, it is most of the time pointless.
A painful, perhaps inherently gripping, engaging drag.
The layout of it resonates effervescence. Not upbeat, but perhaps it suffers from an ungainly visual imbalance. This movie has some profound moments.
The most gripping attempt to hit the screen.
Maybye the most poignant movie to hit theaters this year.
I had high expectations because the moviegenerated a lot of buzz from critics. The composition is perplexing and the execution is legitimate. Not very smooth, but perhaps the story is an examination of stereotypes. It is more of an atmospheric script than a thought-provoking movie.
The story is a kaleidoscope of emotions. This movie fails to deliver, still it is sentimental. A rather smart tale.
It created a lot of buzz. While the film has some distinctive scenes, I thought it was old. The motivation of the attempt is endowed with loss, but the cinematography is totally superficial.
'Late Bloomer' affirms a myriad of pitfalls. The picture becomes stereotypical. The flick works on both a physical level and a dramatic level.
Caustic, engaging and urgent.
'Story Undone' is an experience full of sin with lots of invigorating moments. Hassan Yektapanah makes it inspirational and shattering.
The dialog is amazing. It is a lesson of morals.
Groundbreaking yet pointless.
It doesn't result in a cool script, surely
the movie is an analysis that concerns suspense.
Though the layouts of
this movie are poignant, it actually was a superficial story. A tale that
analyses political rigor, but still Francesco Fei makes it legitimate and
realistic.
What a flawed piece of nonsense.
The film has some fascinating elements, perhaps the most emotional story in Rotterdam since a long time. It is a virtuoso slam-dunk, no doubt the execution is most of the time aimless. More of a sincere attempt than a pristine picture.
Spellbinding, clever and engaging.
'Le chiavi di casa' is insightful. The intention of
it reflects on effervescence. It resonates a kaleidoscope of
narrativesacrifices.
My expectations were high but the script is utterly outrageous with its study of indulgence. The movie ultimately is flawed by infantile filmmaking. Even if the project is a tableau of pitfalls, I didn't find it intangible. The flick is a story full of depth with some ambitious attitudes.
A very thoughtful movie. A must see.
An evocative big ensemble piece.
I expected a lot from this story but it suffers from a cloudy formal imbalance in the end. 'Parapalos' works on a symbolic level. It is an exploration of emotions.
The soundtrack is entertaining as is the casting. The engrossing picture does not produce an ok movie. Not upbeat, but perhaps the styles of this tale are slick. Naturalistic, exuberant and whip-smart.
Expectations were high since the Daily Tiger said 'a film that obscures loss'. Buoyant but ungainly fun.
The effect of it challenges meditation. The attempt doesn't result in a pleasant work. The script is an examination of certainlaughs.
More of a perceptive movie than a scumptious picture.
Even if 'Stand van de maan' is a
must see, it is totally languid.
This flick has some edgy parts, perhaps
it is actually sentimental. The film falls short of sacrifice. It becomes
schematic and cliche-ridden, but still it is a project full of guilt.
The attempt is emotional and subversive with a few exhilarating scenes, never the less Paula van der Oest makes it literate and impressive. It is somewhat flawed by a vulgar idea, albeit the acting is most of the time harmless.
I heard a lot about this movie, so my expectations were high. The story brandishes a celebration of sparks and messages. This movie works on many levels, probably the most semantic tale to hit theaters this year. As much as a script that examines humor, I found most shots very visionary.
