Wow.
That's it. That's what I waited for. Perfection.
Story, characters, music, CAMERA and simply tension.
Important stuff and gets you from the first second to hold you for the whole duration.
That's why it is amazing to book a movie at biennale without knowing anything.
It was a screening only with accredited people and there was long applause with partially standing ovation. That's it.
Alright, finally!
This left me speechless!
I can't rate it right now, but I will try to summarize my feelings and thoughts.
I waited so long for this and had high expectations. Villeneuve managed to surpass them by a bit. So this truly is a masterful piece of cinematic history and one of the best cinema experiences in the last years.
This story is extraordinary. A coming of age story with the intrigues of game of thrones and all this…
Maybe it's because I had low expectations, but I really enjoyed it!
I never had much to do with Dylan's music but here it got me. And Chalamet delivered a stunning performance. And Edward Norton simply has this specific presence on the screen.
But sadly in the end it's just another music biopic and doesn't do anything different. But I mean that's ok since I enjoyed the music.
Sometimes we just want to break out of our daily life. Break out and just fly in the winds of life and unpredictability, just like a plastic bag in the autumn wind.
This movie is captivating. We know how it will end from the very beginning, or do we? The storytelling truly is superb during the whole movie. But the end is just... on a different level. For me, one of the best last 25min I have ever seen. Every moment Mendes created here just totally got me.
Die Theorie von allem (the theory of everything) feels like Timm kröger (who wore a nice smoking) watched to much dark, liked oppenheimer and wanted to direct a movie in Hitchcock style.
So it was good and intriguing but the pacing was especially in the beginning way to slow. And in the third act I simply stopped trying to understand what's happening.
But since the German movies are quite bullshit, I'm glad that something like this exists and I hope…
