Synopsis

Daigo Kobayashi (Masahiro Motoki), has just achieved the dream of his life, entering as a cellist in an orchestra, so what you buy an instrument that is a height. Unfortunately, after the first concert the band dissolves and Daigo stays with his cello, your mortgage and no income. Just wandering the streets without work and without much hope. Therefore, he decided to return to his hometown with his wife (Ryoko Hirosue). They get a job that will make you rethink life has taken so far and the values \u200b\u200band concepts of contemporary society.

Sometimes I go to the movies and you get a very pleasant surprise. That's what happens with Bachelor, one of the easiest films, tender and touching of last season. In Bachelor we have a drama content with touches of humor, where the hero, Daigo, we're driving down a road which is showing us how it is done by tasks that nobody wants to do in today's society (even he does not at first) and how through them end up reunited with a painful past, theirs.

Bachelor speaks of honor, respect, the moral duty to take care of you, of the greatest admiration, loyalty extreme ... But above all, coping with a trauma or a disadvantage in life, the agility of change, the conviction of self worth ... all wrapped in a no topical theme of cinema, the transition from life to death. In short, a resounding defense of enjoyment of life, through the analysis of what it means death.

A highlight two things: a perfect sound track, which combines Western music with traditional Japanese sounds, and the interpretation of virtually the entire cast, but especially Tsutomu Yamazaki, who represents the head of Daigo: sober and puzzling, therefore, can show a man at times mysterious, at times endearing.

One more example of the misery in which the film moves today: if we have to see it is because he won the Academy Award the best foreign language film in 2009. Yet its distribution has been poor, confined to major English cities. As an art as the film is in the hands of an industry where only the numbers is what counts, and the vast majority of the screens are reserved for mediocre products and very profitable in the short term, we have increasingly more difficult to overlook the more or less exotic cultures that shows the cultural and creative wealth that fuels our imagination.

Bier, who was part of the Dogma movement, won many awards with his previous film, 2004, Brothers (and screened at the CineClub Imaginary). His latest film, Things We Lost in the Fire, Halle Berry has
and Benicio Del Toro as protagonists.


Comments ...

This drama about responsibility, family and the past reecuentro gets to be a movie very human, yet contained emotion. Thanks to the wonderful work the understated acting and direction by Susanne Bier, the story never manages to avoid falling into the sentimentality of tear easily. Instead, the limelight very present in all the footage (DOGMA own movement which remains the debtor) are like the rest of the film a great depth of emotions, characters and their situation. The script itself is not complex but emotional situations and human portraits that shows whether they are emotionally complex and profound. After the wedding, which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language film in 2007, is a very balanced film, but honestly measured moving.

After the wedding is primarily a story of encounters: between people, between people and the places to which they belonged, between past and future. That which we have left behind, sometimes reappearing with unexpected force. Every Secret Revealed opens a new world, a new range of possibilities. And always, when you open one door closes another. Jacob moves on, and we with him through his past to come to a crossroads that seems to leave no options. This poignant drama its strong support in a smart script dialogues, which give the action of a lively pace and an ever-growing interest. The irony, sarcasm and subtext are always present. But if anything stands out beyond the plot, and theme, is by the superb performances from all its players. Especially brilliant are shown Mads Mikkelsen (Jacob) and Rolf Lassgard (Jorgen) that make the scenes believable and moving film hardest.

Synopsis

The Lady and the Duke is based on the autobiography of Grace Elliot (Lucy Russell), former lover of the Duke of Orleans (Jean-Claude Dreyfus) in the time of the French Revolution. Suspected of being a British spy, Grace, through its optical monarchy, portrayed the historical evolution of a troubled Paris for the scene of blood and death that followed the outbreak of revolution.

Painted Reality

The French Revolution globalized freedom and equality, launched as "discover" a continent and set the pillars of the polymorph and brittle structure that has been (that is) modernity. But from the beginning, he sacrificed the third prong of the revolutionary ideal. The fraternity is not assimilated or been assimilated for now never as political aspirations. Just a few technological steps separate the guillotine of the electric chair.

Eric Rohmer risk their popularity to denounce The Lady and the Duke , which reviews the legendary revolutionary episode from an uncomfortable view: their aristocratic victims. Sale and veteran French director (81 years, more than thirty films) of the brilliant and authentic universe of contemporary Paris appointments with nearly a quarter century after his last re-enactment, Perceval le Gallois (1978). And it does translate to the movies almost verbatim memories of Grace Elliot, Scottish lady who lived in Paris during the bloodiest years of the Jacobin government of Robespierre, convinced royalist lover while the Duke of Orleans, a revolutionary political scheming.

Beyond the controversy that has been able to raise the question Rohmer popular triumphalism with which it has always evoked this landmark of French nationalism (and all subsequent liberal tradition), The Lady and the Duke mostly has an exceptional interest in form. To recreate the Paris of the late eighteenth century, Rohmer has rejected any show of loyalty restoration. Commissioned a painter of landscapes and a series on the fund, which of course recognize the romantic iconography of the period, inserted the actors in a process equivalent to running "empty", as used by the film in years 30 and 40 and much improved now by the possibilities of digital image processing.

La historia de la película El argumenti Elegante es en su simpleza, centrándose en un Equipo de Cinco "controladores" del metro de Budapest, cuya lab consiste en comprobar que los pasajeros los billetes apropiados tenge. Estos controladores no disfrutan the public's respect, and therefore are constantly tense or frustrating situations. And to make matters worse, their bosses are concerned about the high number of suicides that have occurred recently in the metro, but Bulcsú (Sándor Csányi), a smart driver with a mysterious past, suspects may not be actually suicides, but crimes a mysterious figure who pushes passengers on the road ... Comment


While the synopsis may sound like a depressing drama about the lower classes of Hungarian society, actually, "Kontroll" has many elements of comedy, mystery and dreamlike tone reminiscent in some times the work of David Lynch, but with a much more biting humor and enthusiastic. In fact, if one were to make comparisons, we would say that "Kontroll" is similar in tone and style with "After Hours" by Martin Scorsese. The argument is completely different, but both evoke particular mental state that confusion and lucidity combined in equal proportions, showing the world in ways both mundane and complex, with an ethereal hue that can quickly change between pleasant dream and nightmare. But ultimately, the best of "Kontroll" is the portrait of a subculture that, being isolated from society "normal" begins to transform the special situation, adapting to the circumstances and creating situations and customs that may be foreign to the rest of the population, but that somehow works in his particular universe. "Kontroll" is a film of many levels, and while we laugh with his quirky characters and thrill us with its action scenes (like a tight race at the railroad tracks), we can also ponder the possible interpretations that may have the film, made entirely in the Budapest underground. And as participants for a moment that cold, dark world, perhaps we can appreciate more our daily existence, or at least understand the reasons of those who repudiate. From a technical standpoint, the film is outstanding. Perhaps it may seem a victim of its limited resources, but in reality the film and the severe cold locations add an air of realism that contrasts and highlights the surreal tone of the film, which is accentuated with advancing the plot, so that when it the end we're not sure if we're seeing the "reality", or a dream of the protagonist, or simply a beautiful visual metaphor that the director has chosen to end the story of a sad but hopeful. "Kontroll" is a rare and exhilarating film experience confidently walking on that fine line between human drama and morbid comedy, succeeding in both fields, but without committing none. The work of the actors is brilliant and the direction of Nimrod Antal is firm and full of energy. Especially recommended for audiences, such as this CineClub Imaginary , tired of the hackneyed formulas of contemporary cinema.
