Persecution
Persecution
Year: 2009
Country: France
Genre: Drama
Director: Patrice Chéreau
Mark: 1 to 5 [5]
Plot: Daniel, 35, lives a busy but solitary existence that’s peppered by his troubled affair with Sonia, a woman he seems to both love and loath, but can’t get enough of. Out of nowhere, a mysterious man shows up in his apartment. What Daniel believes to be a one-time event starts happening more and more, and the unlikely intruder just doesn’t leave him alone. The unending harassment begins to take its toll on the tormented relationship with Sonia, and when she suddenly decides to leave him, Daniel’s left facing a slew of unanswered questions.
Personal View: One of the best films, not only as common french movies that has just cigars, non sleeping people and then, but also a full evolving drama, so drama that in the end of the movie was just all quiet, no talking no nothing. Really sad but so awesome. Coz in life the only sure we have is that things ends.
That’s all folks ;*

Tokyo!
Tokyo!
Year: 2008
Country: France, Japan, South Korea and Germany
Genre: Drama/Fiction
Directors: Michael Gondry, Leos Carax, Bong Joon-Ho
Mark: 1 to 5 [5]
Plot: Three directors examine the peculiar and unforgettable nature of the Japanese megalopolis that doesn’t stop growing. In Michel Gondry’s Interior Design, a young couple tries to adjust itself to Tokyo city. The man has a very focused ambition of being a film director; on the other hand, his indecisive girlfriend can’t shake off the feeling of having lost control of her own life. In Merde, by Leos Carax, a mysterious creature spreads panic through the streets of Tokyo with its disturbing and destructive behavior. In Bon Joon-Ho’s Shaking Tokyo, a young boy has been a hikikomori (a person living completely isolated in their home) for over ten years. His contact with the outside world is minimal. One day, a young pizza delivery girl goes to his apartment as an earthquake hits the city. In an unexpected turn of events, they fall in love.
Personal View: Just for the fact that when I saw ‘same director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ I could not let this movie to see after or don’t! Three different histories passed at the same city. Unfortunately at the last part when the Bong Joon-Ho one was developing itself i had to see other movie, but nothing as a simple download do solve this problem.
The Michael Gondry one is so full made of fantasy, touch ourselves with the simplicity of the things, his personal way to show life that s amazing.
The Leos Carax one so crazy, funny and show as things do not change. Liked a lot.
And the last one sweet showing what a hikikomori can do for love and also showing the strange hobbies around this lifestyle. But no doubt that the best was from Gondry.
Highly recommended!
Get here the movie and the subtitles [EN and PT-BR that I did it again].

The Architect
Der Architekt – The Architect
Year: 2009
Country: Germany
Genre: Drama
Director: Ina Weisse
Mark: 1 to 5 [2]
Plot: The successful Hamburg architect Georg Winter travels with his wife and two grown-up children to attend his mother’s funeral in a snowy mountain village where he grew up as a child. At the funeral, the mysterious Hannah and her son Alex suddenly appear. She unearths a truth which drags the family into a vortex of desires and confusion. When a snow avalanche cuts the village off from the outside world, there’s no escape.
Personal View: I tried to see this movie just twice, all the times I just take this one to fill the blanks between a movie to other one. Did I like it? No! Even knowing that a German movie has a mind line different from the other movies, that they are ‘strange’ somehow, and knowing that the culture has a special part at this.
Senseless? Yep, a lot. Father that loves other woman instead the wife, that kissed the daughter, ok in a context maybe but not this way. One or other part has something, or makes you laugh a little, just.

About Elly
Darbareye Elly – About Elly
Year: 2009
Country: Iran
Genre: Drama
Director: Asghar Farhadi
Mark: 1 to 5 [4]
Plot: After living in Germany for many years, Ahmad returns to Iran. His friend Sepideh organizes a trip with him and all his friends to spend three days by the shores of the Caspian Sea. Without warning the group, she invites a stranger, Elly, her daughter’s teacher from the care center. Ahmad, having had an unhappy marriage with a German woman, wants to be with an Iranian woman. On the second day, when everything seems to be going well, something strange happens and Elly disappears. The joyful and pleasant atmosphere fades away as they try to discover the reason for the bizarre disappearance. Elly’s family is contacted but none of them know of her whereabouts. The friends start panicking and begin to blame each other for Elly’s disappearance.
Personal View: Not as the usually we seen that the Iran movies has a political thing in its middle, but this movie just has family behaviors, and traditional culture. ‘Till the end of the movie I just could not believe even I knowing that she disappeared coz she wanted to and not the other possible idea that she could back to her mother’s house telling anyone. The end of the movie is interesting and under no circumstances, boring. Why did I give 4 as a mark? Because I could not give 5 just coz of the ending that kind of disappointed me, predictable, but that’s ok, it’s worthily for all the rest. Recommended.

The Invention of Flesh
La Invencion De La Carne – The Invention of Flesh
Year: 2009
Country: Argentina
Genre: Drama
Director: Santiago Loza
Mark: 1 to 5 [2]
Plot: The impossible relationship between María and Mateo is a trip with an uncertain destination. They move between large and inhabited spaces, but nobody seems to notice them. It`s like an area near to dreams. The atmosphere is crossed by a religiosity laking a God, but it is at the limit of human behavior where they discover the possibility of redemption from their own condition.
Personal View: Considering that I just saw few minutes of the movie and that makes impossible to form a considerable and valuable view, I can’t say so much about this one. But the last minutes I saw takes me to nowhere. I really have to see this movie ‘again’ but if the begging of the movie be as the last, I can assure you that’ s a crap.

Year: 2009
Country: EUA
Genre: Drama/Romance
Director: Joe Swanberg
Mark: 1 to 5 [5]

The husband comes home from the tour and they are forced to navigate on this sticky territory. Alexander has a sister that starts to have a relationship with the actor she is working with then the problems started to appear.
Personal View: Nice, graceful and cute movie. Very subtle to show the shits that can happen into your lives. Nothing as describe that the relationship can be affected by someone else nicely telling a history about Shakespeare’s birds or citing Edgar Allan Poe’s poems.

Todos Mienten – They All Lie
Year: 2009
Country: Argentina
Genre: Drama
Director: Matías Piñeiro
Mark: 1 to 5 [1]
Plot: A group of young people gets together in a country house far away from Buenos Aires in order to the ultimate step towards the dissolution of their clandestine organization which mixes forgery with love, robbery with kisses and contemporary plastic art with Argentinean XIX Century History. Helena Pickford silently settles the rules in this ambience of mischievous conspiracy, where best advice for each player is not to believe a single word.
Personal View: Imagine a movie that each second that pass you have a deep wish to this gets better, but the movie ends and this just doesn’t happen. A waste of time, money in the same way of theirs, ours also. Nonsense, one of the worst movies I ve seen at this film festival. Bad direction, bad interpretation.
Until now no torrent of this movie, but nothing to cry about, this won’t change your life.
