Three short for the three directors most extreme of the east: China Fruit Chan, Park Chan-Wook for Korea, and Takashi Miike to Japan! All strictly horror, in their way, all extremes.
Dumplings - Fruit Chan [China].
actress now no longer in the prime of life is for a woman to a horrifying beauty treatment that can erase the wear and tear of time. The cure is to eat the fried ravioli to steam ... filled with fetuses, which the aide in question was procured by performing illegal abortions.
Despite the horrifying idea that underlies the entire holding. Has its own logic, and a desire to terminate a star system (but also a lifestyle that grips even the most common people) who sings a beautiful eternal, and yet pretend. In this case, the short may be said to be successful, at least in part, a pity that history does not go smoothly (oddeus as it sounds bad) as it should.
Accomplice perhaps a fairly anonymous director, who has more power when writing conceptual and otherwise, and also the fact that this film is that the result after a frantic cutting of the film of the same namesake Chang. The end result has definitely been affected.
The initial idea is still very well suck.
Cut - Park Chan-Wook [Korea].
A famous Korean director is imprisoned, with his wife on the set of his latest film by an extra who has worked in all his works, jealous of his success. The director must demonstrate that it can be bad, only then will free. And as time passes, every ten minutes the mad pop cuts a finger to his wife, subjecting the poor filmmaker evidence increasingly difficult and sadistic.
again, the theme of revenge for Good Park, which seems to have made this issue a reason for living, a bit 'like Kelly with time travel. It is the most controversial short has an equal number of merits and defects.
The advantages are surely in a direction in a state of grace. The first few minutes are metacinematografici anthology, aided by special effects just mentioned, but never overpowering that damage to the staging and its depth, let us say, life. From this point of view, the work is excellent, so much so that the pace does not seem to fall ever.
defects are, however, the characters just mentioned. Their beliefs seem to fall too easily, and with the excuse that everything breaks loose at times it's ridiculous. In addition, the final ... falls into the trap of the year in style, on himself entangled in an almost irritating.
All in all a good short.
Box - Takashi Miike [Japan].
I state one thing: I do not love the prolific Japanese director of this short. But this made me think again ... maybe something like that to me did, and I hope that works if I search for other reserve new surprises.
Set for a good ninety percent in the world of dreams, memories and perceptions. The memories of the lives of these two sisters, who have an unexpected epilogue revealing.
demonstrates his personal sensitivity in dealing with such a delicate subject so absurd. For once, Miike omits titles emerging from pools of sperm or maimed people who feed on vomit (those who know the film will understand) to play with the emotions of the viewer, rather than with his stomach. The result is perhaps the most successful short of the triptych, so explosive in her be minimalist, so fast in his being slow.
An interesting project that, despite some high and low, makes its porchisima figure. The demonstration that the Eastern cinema has much to say and does so without compromise.
