4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (review)




of Cristian Mungiu (2006)
with Anamaria Marinca , Vlad Ivanov, Laura Vasiliu

Otilia and Gabita , two students sharing a room in a university dormitory, living their lives during the last years of communism in Romania under Ceausescu . Gabita is pregnant but does not want the child, and Otilia contact a man who, illegally, to abortion, but the cost is very high.

Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes , 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is a masterpiece that can hardly be reduced to words.
The environment in which the events take place is perhaps the real star of the film: the places are gray, dark, cold, people are no better, in fact we see the hotel keepers and petty curious, engaged relationships with artificial families hypocritical and false. the mirror of a country in the late eighties, still in the grip of communism, with the consequent alienation of any single individual, who can no longer look for a sincere and immediate contact.
The only chink in the film is the friendship between Gabita and Otilia, who will be sorely tested by the first unwanted pregnancy, and the help afforded it by his friend.
This is not a film about abortion, or better, can become as any action prohibited, under dictatorial rule, which falls in the fundamental rights, when it becomes necessary changes to a trauma, a tragedy. Here abortion, but really could have been anything else.
The pain brought by this event, the maximum amplified by the awareness of being outlawed by guilt and repressed, is dominant in every scene, until the final dissolution, in which the only refuge, the only solution is to try forget: forget the law, forget the violence inflicted on him themselves from others and to others, you forget to be human.
We can say with certainty that the face a neo expressionist film , thus indicating the position of pathos every situation through scientific study, through analysis and staged raw and true. Needless to say, the acting is superb, like almost every other aspect of the work.
A film that changes the way you see the film, a masterpiece.

Halloween - The Beginning (review)



Rob Zombie (2007)
with Heather Bowen, Daeg Faerch

On Christmas night a child of ten years, Michael Myers, is a massacre of his family, sparing only the little sister. Fifteen years later, escaped from the psychiatric hospital where he was interned, will come looking for her.

are a few years now that the live horror film remake of the seventies, or prequels, sequels or remakes. This is indeed a novelty in the field: it is a prequel for the first half of the film, then it becomes a remake. If he felt the need. The original is clearly Carpenter's Halloween, a pillar of the entire horror genre. Following this project was Rob Zombie (here director, writer and producer too), well known person in the genre, the author of the beautiful 'The House of 1000 Corpses' and the excellent 'The Devil's Rejects'. Sorry, and not a little, to see how this time Zombie has done a bad job. Not much to say, the routine we already felt from the first moments: the rhythm is non-existent once you get bored, the actors are quite incapable and even misdirected, missing points particularly compelling (with the exception perhaps for the very last minute film) the script is mediocre, the killings are quite devoid of imagination. In practice, the film is not funny, indeed, some may even be unpleasant. Is saved, in extremis, the director, which expires in platitudes or mannerisms, but not enough. I repeat: I'm sorry, because Zombie has enormous potential and has demonstrated, we hope that this is a temporary fall.

The Millionaire (review)



Danny Boyle (2008)
with Dev Patel and Freida Pinto

Jamal Malik is an eighteen year old orphan raised in the slums of Mumbai. We find, however, to read the final question of twenty million rupees in the popular TV show, despite not having received any education, and he was arrested and interrogated for alleged fraud. So we come to know of his amazing life.

To talk about this movie is good from the end, more precisely during the credits, the conclusion of the events in fact witnessing a dance group in Bollywood style, or, if you will, in musical style. Given that you have seen the movie, if you come to the end credits always surprised means that you understand very little, as is certainly the best scene is the film itself. At this point all depends on what you expect from a film product, whatever it is. With The Millionaire in fact we are facing a mere divertissement, with a facade that masked ignobly illusion that there is some social commentary or a realistic background. The main character throughout the film it tells his life miserable in one of the poorest parts of the world, including religious fanaticism, crime, speculation, but also love and brotherhood. Here is mandatory to mention the floor on which it is represented the story: If any film, without distinction, is meant to represent reality through fiction, then the staging that we are not aware of the true reality. Here Boyle goes further: not a reality through fiction, but it depicts a reality filtered twice from fiction. Basically This is why Boyle appreciate very critical, even as 'innovative'. The problem is that doing so creates a work of good entertainment forcing situations and feelings, and this is very serious when it comes to reality, difficult as that of India. In practice, The Millionaire is a musical without music, a movie that most false false can not be built on illusion and fictitious, it is a great big bubble, only a few have been noticed, partly because of the aspects more formal, such as the director too fast does not leave us time to think and realize that what we are watching is nothing more than smoke. All this aggravation, and here I think we all agree, by a construction too cumbersome and artificial, sometimes repetitive (application-event-life application ...). That's not how you do cinema.
