three things i liked at Seattle Int'l Film Festival (opening weekend only) |

I went to the opening weekend of SIFF last month, saw sixteen films, my first time doing such a thing (my local film club got us a good deal on a pass!) whoo, what fun.
I just thought I'd share my top three and see if anyone has seen them because I just can't stop thinking about them. in no order: --"i am love" -- you might like tilda swinton, but the cinematographer steals the show. Italian cinema like it used to be. This filmmaker and/or cinematographer will hopefully be oneday household names. The john adams score is intense (but borrowed, nothing new, i don't think, bummer). -- "the milk of sorrow". so much poetry, the sad protagonist says so much by saying so little, a really piercing film though the drama is not in your face, it's all in what you wonder must be going on in this sad girl's head. Peruvian, great satire and a subtle way of dealing with the aftereffects of injustice and feminism. -- "katalin varga", wow. very experimental, transylvanian woman runs town to town with her son she bore from a rape, trying to escape all the eyes that weigh on her and to avenge her misfortunate fate. excellently planned, she grows more and more beautiful as her quest moves on, despite the terrible thing she does, bringing her son along, lying to him all the time. amazing experimental score (i think stapleton from NWW does it, but it reeks of Magic Carpathians... I think a lot of it is actually authentic, but people in the audience didn't get that, thought it was all art). |

Katalin Varga was a huge disappointment to me. One of the most anticipated movies I went to see at Espoocine (a local international film festival that focuses on Europian films) and the one I was least impressed by. It felt like a novella and two scenes streched into a feature with no passion or intent to fill it any further. The boat scene and the one where she confronts the rapist were the only one's of true substance, but then the ending turned into mulch. I guess they tried to say something about revenge and catharsis, but it just had no punch. Wow what a long response to say I disagree. But I'm all for smaller budjet foreign films to get international exposure, this one just wasn't really worth it, in my opinion. | |

Hello. As a contribution to this group, let me please invite you to have a look, on my profile, at my list Films I like and to the point 8 of my self-portrait, and then to try to answer these questions:
Question 1. What are the two logical rules that bracket this list? Question 2. What are the two exceptions in it? What do they refer to? Question 3. Six male actor appear in more than two of these films. Who are they? (One of them is French; the three others are American.) Question 4. Two auburn-haired actresses appear in two of these film. Who are they? (One is French, the other is English.) The winner won't definitely be called a wannabe cinephile anymore. |
