The first is the new film by Swedish director Ruben Östlund, who has just premiered the film. He tells the story of Christian, director of a museum of contemporary art. The director has wanted to reflect the difficulty of interacting outside his social layer, outside his own world. First of all that cannot be solved with a little money, before sexual, family issues and, above all, before other people’s problems. But it has offered that reflection in a surprising and unusual way. It's full of uncomfortable moments and sequences that can boot the jaw. The scene of the man and the monkey, for example, that it was a long time since I didn't live such an amazing moment in a room. A kind of nightmare, too real, in which humanism faces its wild side.
Some of these movies will probably be considered a joke of bad taste. But they get what many others don't do: don't leave anyone indifferent.
It is not easy to get used to this film and much less to recommend freely to everyone. The 50% you are reading will surely seem unbearable, a joke of bad taste, but not just for form. In addition to living the uncomfortable moments that have rarely been seen in a film, the film conveys a strong social critique that harms all that humor. And that can lead to rejection. With the video showing a boy and a cat, the earthquake it causes inside the movie can also be taken out of the screen, making a ferocious critique of the uncontrollable world of today. In other words, what is denounced in history can be extrapolated to our reality by shaking the conscience of many.
If it’s hard to get used to The Square, what to say about Mother! production. In the middle of a forest, Jennifer Lawrence will spend the day conditioning an old house destroyed by fire. Javier Bardem, for his part, is a much larger writer than him, who is writing a book that will help him to regain the attention of the public, even though he has lately been very uncreative. That being the starting point, this radical proposal taken to the end seemed wonderful to me. Whoever wants to hate, but I've fallen in love with madly, uncovering the screen of anarchy and offering an amazing cinematic experience.
And finally, the psychological thriller The Killing of a Sacred Deer, led by Yorgos Lanthimos, generates some controversy every time a new job is released. The Greek has managed to have a definite style and, above all, a disturbing and radical universe. In this story starring Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman, Steven and Anna have drawn inspiration from the works of the Greek playwright Euripides of Antiquity to tell this cover story of two doctors and their children.
Productions composed of different sublayers. It is very difficult, impossible, to convey through these lines all the sensations that have produced me. I'd mention hundreds of moments, but they would lose sense and they would be completely wary if you didn't see them on the screen. All three of them have seemed to me to be irreverent, rigorous and original visual experiences that have come out of the bowels. Rather than seeing intermediate films that have the ability to be indifferent, if you bet on those that play to risk, take the pen and notebook: The Square, The Killing of a Sacred Deer eta Mother!
Edurne Azkarate said from the micro stage that the Basque film has little Basque in the celebration of the San Sebastian Film Festival. The phrase echoes for its truthfulness. In the architecture scene you can repeat the same motto and I am sure that in so many other cultural... [+]
