90 The Human Condition I: No Greater Love (1959) - Mar 22, 2011
Mini-Review: Impressive and beautiful crafted. As in Kobayashi's "Harakiri" we are faced with some tough moral and existential questions when the humanistic ideals of the pacifist Kaji are constantly put to the test during the dehumanising hardship of war. Despite some dull moments it packs a powerfull emotional punch, especially in this first act of the 9 hour epic.
85 The Double Life of Veronique (1991) - Mar 20, 2011
Mini-Review: Dreamlike images in rich colours of red, green and yellow captures Irene Jacob's beautiful face. As all great art Kieslowski's existential doppelganger-riddle is a mystical experience whose meaning depends on who enters through the looking glass.
90 Amarcord (1973) - Jan 08, 2012
Mini-Review: It's beautifully nostalgic but Fellini goes for the throat as he satirizes Italy's past with fascism, a ludicrous, hypocritical Catholic Church and a nation in perpetual adolescence. The interlocking ensemble is effortlessly handled with an immense elegance. The scenes with especially the family are funny as hell. Woody Allen's 'Radio Times' owes a great deal to this film.
85 Sisters (1973) - Mar 06, 2012
Mini-Review: A hitchcockian thriller dipped in acid and rolled in bizarro world. The story is kind of ludicrous, but it succeeds in being truly horrifying as De Palma has learned from the master with excellent use of subtle suspense/surprise combinations. Some brief images of gore for extra oompf.
100 Viridiana (1961) - Jan 07, 2011
Mini-Review: A hilariously wicked masterpiece with hauntingly beautiful cinematography. Only the master of blasphemy would dare depict a nun milking a cow with such erotic overtones - and that's just the beginning.
80 The Adventures of Tintin (2011) - Oct 31, 2011
Mini-Review: May not capture the atmosphere of Hergé's Tintin, but who cares when it's this much fun. And guess what? Tintin is a freaking cartoon album, not a film! This is something even better than Tintin: It's Indiana Jones! Or rather the Young Indiana Jones Spielberg has always wanted to make without the meddling from George "All business no film talent" Lucas. Fast paced with excellent set-pieces, it's as if Hergé's stories has given Spielberg the inspiration he needed to get near his early 80's form.
