Provokes some off-beat observations about identity and morality, but then eschews them for a pretty lame political satire.
Pulled along by Pattinson's excellent ability to just do weird shit and I enjoy the big swing's Collete and Riffalo are taking. The dinner scene is exhilarating.
Just a shame it tails off into a conclusion that takes roughly 4 hours and still feels rushed.
Also a shame to see a filmmaker with such a strong sense of place as Bong deliver…
Really quite moving in parts and one of the more palatable bits of pandemic cinema. For all the beauty of Shakespeare the standout really is ParTeb the pantsless alien.
There's a ghostly feel to this coming of age tale, that perhaps has a lot more to say about the slippery nature of tradition than it does adolescence. Rochwacher, as ever, captures the sense of a fading world whilst never giving in to the fetishization of a mythic past that she so artfully depicts here. A late scene of shadows dancing on a cave ceiling hinted at a timelessness that I found incredibly moving.
It's true that some things cannot be bought and I can't tell you how much I'd pay to have an ounce of Rochwacher's quiet grace.
What a dang filmmaker!
This is pretty good as an effective undercutting of the popular myth of the Blitz spirit and as a depiction of the horrors of being bombarded.
Easy to see why most commenters have picked up on the Dickensian feel, but this reminded me more of Titanic. Like Cameron, McQueen takes a historical tragedy as an opportunity to stage thrilling set pieces whilst advancing a political narrative. Blitz of course isn't as romantic, Hollywood, or quite frankly as good but it's…
