acum pe ecran mare, duminica 25 mai ora 17.00 la Cinemateca Patria (Brasov :)



... "Fear X," delivering a baffling, dreamlike thriller that makes "Inland Empire" look like "My Best Friend's Wedding.". trailerul e inselator si vinde actiunea care nu exista. Filmul e si anticlimatic si ritmul e lent dar... Valhalla Rising (nici o legatura cu romanul omonim de Clive Cussler din 2001), e un arthouse si unul din cel mai bune filme cu vikingi, megafilm medieval (nu Black Death, asa cum sugera un prieten re: 2010). Parerea mea e ca poate fi pus in coltul cu A saptea pecete si Izvorul fecioarei ale lui Bergman. Mel Gibson sa se aseze linistit, plus ca doar scena de inceput face cit Braveheart ! Totodata e un mind trip si un film experimental, Calatorie in inima intunericului, un Al 13-lea razboinic cross cu der Zorn Gottes. Filmul are aproape zero dialog (gen 200 de replici), cu un Mads Mikkelsen exceptional
o cronica din Salon.com care face o paralela cu Inception ! intr-un mod destul de interesant
si un interviu exhaustiv cu Refn de pe IFC unde zice si de influente:
"Valhalla Rising" is a combination of many films from my youth, all the way back to me coming to America when I was eight, and the samurai and kung fu movies I would watch on TV. "Escape from New York," the first video I ever owned. Lots of Spaghetti Westerns. The "El Topo," midnight movie craziness of the '70s: "Stalker," "2001"... even "Dumbo," which was where I had the idea of making my hero silent.Winding Refn a facut cam in acelsi timp Bronson -un biopic de pirnaias a la Kenneth Anger, descrid drept "gay arthouse prison movie", si acum e la Hollywood in post-prod cu Drive, un high concept cu Ryan Gosling si Albert Brooks bad guy !!! Looking forward ! mai are un proiect interesant, I Walk With the Dead. Si aflu ca e curat pentru "Wonder Woman", ceea ce n-ar functiona nici in Valhalla acum 1000 de ani :) Intre timp Pusher a fost refacut (acum 10 ani era vorba de un remake Hollywood cu Bruce Willis), in Anglia, ca un film...Bollywood !!!! 4 1/2 din 5, 9 din 10 !
"Gabrielle: What's the story ?
Richard Benson: It's an action/suspense, uh, romantic melodrama with lots of comedy, of course. And, uh, deep down underneath, a substrata of social comment."


I remember the day I arrived at Orly Airport for Paris When It Sizzles. I could hear my footsteps echoing against the walls of the transit corridor, just like a condemned man walking the last mile. I realized that I had to face Audrey and I had to deal with my drinking. And I didn’t think I could handle either situation.

"Miraculously, Holden’s shenanigans were largely kept out of the press but the film ended up crashing anyway. Critics uniformly panned it and audiences didn’t fall for the once-powerful Holden/Hepburn combination this time. Over the years, however, the film has earned a reputation as a guilty pleasure for those who enjoy in-joke movie spoofs and an absurdist storyline played out against the glorious backdrop of the City of Light."
Richard Quine e sever !!
I've got an idea. I've got an idea! First good one I've had in four months. No, that's not true. A few weeks ago I had an idea to give up drinking, but it didn't photograph."(Richard Benson)
