Two sisters - Kim Ji-woon [2003]

The two sisters Bae Soo-yeon Bae Soo-mi and are returning home after a long period of time spent in a mental institution (aka the asylum), where they were forced to stay after an accident, but will not be revealed if not to the end of the movie in the classic plot twist which is not surprising - players curious. Of course, their stay can not be quiet because the relationship with Eun-Joo, the new girlfriend of his father, are tense, while their parents seem to be totally absent from the life in the house. The classic ancient and repressed rage and then be unleashed in a classic final twist.

on Korean cinema can be said of everything but that is not visually stunning. And in fact, throughout its duration (115 mint), this Two sisters show staged a rare and well-balanced elegance. The images, supported by stunning photography Lee Mo-Game, look like paintings in motion. And the director Ji-woon Kim sliding scenes in an intelligent and capable of rhythm, thanks also the proper assembly of Lee Hyeon-Me.

The basic problem lies in the screenplay, written by the director himself. In addition to having a plot as seen and reviewed the ceiling of their room, it is increasingly ill-developed with the passing of minutes. The final alternative for many jocks (even them!) Found cryptic and incomprehensible, it may seem this not a particularly convoluted plot, or enlightening, but for a script that has more of a narrative rather big flaw - as well as a IQ underdeveloped subjects guilty of that assertion, and their total ignorance of Eastern culture spiritualist.

Which is bad, because the funny almond-eyed men take much consideration in their particular pantheon mythology ghost stories, and you could pull off in this case a real good story and well developed precisely because of its cultural origins. Or at least, far more interesting than many other gender.

Alas, that was it.

There is also the infamous remake dl 2009, The uninvited , brother of the Guard.

the Box - Richard Kelly [2009]

Richard Matheson is one of those writers who could do a half-page story about a hen HIV beating the pavements of downtown, still managing to tell a compelling story that leaves room for the right socio-existential reflections. Just think of books like I Am Legend , or the story Button button, which was taken from this film.

When I heard about the work of this project I could not help but wonder how caspiterina would have to take a little ten-page story and unique setting of the two protagonists in the home movie medium length. Knowing that Richard Kelly is the director would cure that the script made me even more perplexed to learn that Manuel Filiberto would sing in Sanremo.

All in all, I can say at the end vision vaguely satisfied. But first things first.

The initial plot of the story is kept in a large scale. A strange individual (monolithic Frank Langella), a box spouses Lewis (Cameron Diaz and James Marsden). It contains a button. If you press it a person they do not know will die, but they will receive one million dollars in cash. If you do not do anything, they will receive one hundred dollars for the trouble, and the box of the title will be withdrawn, reprogrammed and given to another couple.

From a starting point so Kelly could repeat the success (artistic and critical) of its onset, or at least make a good sci-fi thriller that offers an intriguing 115 minutes of healthy and joyful entertainment. But no. While not to run in total disaster as Southland Tales , moves more than a dangerous misstep. He had to twist everything up with an unlikely and almost unbelievably ridiculous alien plan that seems to mimic the project for the improvement of human Neon Genesis Evangelion , whims existential unsolicited and totally unnecessary to the story dealt with very surface and travel in time (frankly, that sucks! A favorite moment a battle between vampires and werewolves).

Despite all the film is watchable, but all these details leave a lot of amazement. I wonder how it would come out 'I'm the film, if Kelly had dignity than simply tell, and not to be an artist constantly in search of a way to amaze. A film (as well as a book, a comic book or a song) does not have to be innovative at all costs. Even the simple task of mere entertainment, at times, can give you some pleasant surprises, in addition to being artistically well executed.

As said before I did my colleague Gantz, director Kelly is not the bud, but as regards the slope of the script, it should rely on others, whether it will continue on this path.

PS: Button button the story was published for the first time in the pages of Playboy magazine , almanac that the writer / director Kelly - on his own admission - at that time did not 'read' of course for the stories. I wonder what would come out if Kelly had decided to shoot a porno XD

Southland Tales - Richard Kelly [2006]

Second test director for Kelly , after the success of his previous Donnie Darko was able to find the necessary funding for this impressive and his even more ambitious project.

Smania by the desire to know what such that this young director after the orgy of the contents of his previous work. What you could tell after that film without the risk of recurrence? Caparezza also says that "the second album is always the most difficult in the career of an artist," and the same applies to the directors, at least those that point to a certain authorship. So, what I heard in the processing of this Southand tales exploded in a sea of \u200b\u200bjujube. Kelly had returned, and certainly, given the experience gained in the course of time, did not disappoint no. Then one day a classmate lent me the DVD (this film, at least here in Italy, has only been released for home video) and as happy as a child at Christmas I started to see him as soon as Tonato home ... Mamma mia

that crap!

Excuse the outburst, but before such a thing is impossible not to feel disgusted, and - worst of all - mocked as spectators.

The plot is so messy that I try not to write (I will leave you the appropriate Wikipedia page ) and proposed in the most unwatchable possible for a total duration of almost three hours. Directed by Kelly (I do not know what you smoked while stretched the script) holds sufficiently the whole, but not enough to redeem a shameful history and acting even worse. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sean William Scott and pop star Justin Timberlake to make calls to those who can make your character more painful than it was already on paper - not to mention the guilty participation of Kevin Smith, Christopher Lambert, Miranda Richardson and Bai Ling.

Which makes it even more unbearable the whole project is that it is not bad (for charity, even Kubrick and Fellini have made at least one false step), but his being pompously and arrogantly believes he has something to say to all costs, hiding nothing, and the confusion of the bottom under a lot of symbolism and caught a free event. Many

at the Cannes Film Festival booed, comparing it to similar works millemila that presented the same major flaw: the desire to appear innovative trumpeting that consisted of nothing. Mine has come to think of the fable "The King's New Clothes", where the monarch is a scam duped when a merchant sells the clothes invisible, and where only two children have the courage to say: "The king is naked! "

I leave to you then had to draw conclusions.

Donnie Darko - Richard Kelly [2001]

youth cultural phenomenon started as a low-cost independent film (only three and a half million dollars !!!), distributed only for the home video market, which has first conquered - at a later time - and then the American public around the world. So much to be submitted to the 61 ° Venice Film Festival in 2004, and defined as "one of the 100 best movies of history" from the IMDB site. It revealed to the world that the young director Richard Kelly, can upset the film world only twenty-eight years.

The story of the young student Donnie Darko, a boy who suffers from mental disorders. One night was a hallucination: a giant rabbit named Frank who tells him to follow him, revealing that the world will end soon, just between the "28 days, 6 hours, 42minuti, 12 seconds." At that moment, the engine of an aircraft breaks away from the car ending up right on Donnie's room. The boy was considered a miracle by his fellow citizens (when the engine fell on him was following Frank) but some things do not add up: you can not goats which plane is owned by the engine, and Frank comes back specifically to women giving orders .. . What is true and what is not?

Donnie begins to seek the truth in their own way.

Film strange and alienating. By many (mostly young) praised, and many (the public more 'experienced') hated. Definitely is a film from the curious and unusual language, but sometimes a clever film he plays his cards so successful with the target group that interests them. Furthermore, it was only shot in twenty-eight days, exactly the same predicted by Frank ... coincidence?

From fifteen well I used to cheer this film as a masterpiece, now that I'm more grown-up I can give a much more objective opinion. I think that is a remarkable film, however, that it has something to say and says it in his own way, brave as a debut that carves out its own space between the chaos of any that you see too often. On the other hand, remains to be too pleased with his sometimes cryptic and odd , and seems to seek in every way to be as bizarre and incomprehensible as possible, marking the hand too heavily on the final, making the visions additional - instinctively - due mainly to understand something.

As women, you will also make a choice: a side in this stormy sea that is the opinion of the media. If you already with extremists or - like me - in a diplomatic middle ground. And if you really want to hurt you, even the shameful remake visionatevi S. Darko .

PS: there is also a director's cut of 20 minutes longer, but purists tend to prefer that the first theatrical release (in America in 2001, and 2004 in Italy).

Cartoon Network Birthday Registration

Clockwork Orange - of Stanley Kubrick [1972]

One of the biggest film of one of the greatest directors. A film that shocked everyone on the day of its release, and had to be withdrawn from the salt, and that continues to upset yet with the power of its contents and its images. Either you love it or hate it, but certainly not go unnoticed.

The story of Alex, the head of a gang of droogs who loves violence and classical music Beethowen. Every night he goes with his band of merry thugs to spread a bit 'of disorder and chaos in the world around them, until things go wrong ... its affiliates revolt, and after one of the classic views on others ended tragically, stunning leaves in the hands of the police. Alex is thrown into prison until he submits to the Ludovico Treatment, a system to eradicate the instinct for violence from people's minds, causing the patient a sense of nausea and dizziness to the minimum pulse. But there is a world outside the prison, who wants to come to terms with what Alex used to be. Drawn from nearly

masterpiece novel by Anthony Burgess (guilty of having added an additional final chapter imposed by the publishing house, during which the protagonist decides to become good), Kubrick achieved what is perhaps his masterpiece with 2001 - A Space Odyssey , also signed the script, getting a movie just all effects - even counting the special effects, extraordinary at the time, Sandy and Mark DellaMarie Freund.

perfect mix of genres (drama, fiction despotic, satirical comedy, grotesque, horror) film and commingling. Everything interacts with each other, none of the wonderful music (not all strictly original) acting as a side dish, but it interacts with the sequence and narrative, creating a unique and indivisible in every respect.

disconcerting for the great amount of violence, choreographed and entertaining in the first part, raw and realistic in the second when the player grips the Ludovico Treatment.

is violent and even the ending, where everything is fulfilled, and all are decorated teased. From the church, the state, to the common person. It sends a disturbing question: better a world of violence voluntary or planned a life of peace?

Bedwetting With Schizophrenia

Somewhere - Sofia Coppola [2010]

hard life if you are a Coppola. Or at least, it can be if you decide to engage in the field of cinema. Nicholas Kim Coppola had to change his name to Nicolas Cage to stop the accusations of favoritism in the great nephew of Francis Ford. Sofia instead, the daughter of famous director, has decided to continue its journey into the world of film after a not very successful acting career (remember all the Razzie for his performance in The Godfather: Part III will ) maintaining balance the family name, carving out a place in the vein of low-budget independent film.

debut in 1999 with The Virgin Suicides , that despite everything that I found most enjoyable. The real success came in 2003 with Lost in translation - translated love, with which he won the Oscar for best screenplay. Then he followed Marie Antoinette in 2006, not strange experiment that combines the highly successful pop the movie in costume. And then came Somewhere in 2010, awarded the Gold at the Lone Venice festival by Quentin Tarantino ...

I must be careful in summarizing the plot, because unwittingly I might reveal something unexpected ... ruin a surprise ... anticipate a poetry ... Hmmmm ... well, let's be clear, I could describe everything to the last scene, without spoiling anything. Because there is very little to ruin, has already thought of everything Sofia. What a girl sighted!

The story should be that of a certain John Mark, a movie star who lives nell'ovattato the show, which marks his days between alcohol and women until they must deal with the eleven year old daughter Cleo, who will open the eyes to the true way of living. Fine.

is my impression or is it something that tastes familiar? Come on, let's not scassamarroni, it does not matter what stories, but as the stories! The basic problem is that a bad person is a director turn even more horrid. Almost 100 minutes (thank goodness, my brain would not have been able to withstand more) of static shots, mostly without any speech. And when these talks were to regret the silent cinema. Really.

I do not know ... has been the initial recovery of a machine that runs in circles for two minutes, the never-ending lap-dance for two dancers kinky as the grandmother of your country cousin, the follow with the camera from behind a car beyond the limit allowed by the mind human being to make an idiot in the face with plaster for three minutes abundant first-fruits and other similar ... but really, this movie bored me a lot. Somewhere yes, that is away from this stuff!

So this is the result. A banal story, badly written (I'm curious to know how long the screenplay), directed and performed even worse in a deep coma. Stephen Dorff at certain points it seemed Scazzi beyond all limits, I was almost worth it.

A further bury the end result is the scene where Johnny goes to Milan to pick up the Telegatto (yes, you read correctly, the Telegatto scene ... I have not yet figured out the utility. As the initial where Johnny breaks his arm, not at all necessary for the story), during which they make a nice appearances Simona Ventura, Valeria Marini, Giorgia Surina, Maurizio Nichetti and Nino Frassica Role of themselves. The blow comes just minutes later, when Cleo is an indirect mention of the novel Twilight . And this movie should be a masterpiece? But please!

The only thing I seem to have realized is that to tell a meaningless life, you have to direct a film even more insignificant.
