Povestea unui pierde-vara (2018)
A film shot just to be shot
Besides the controversy regarding Woody Allen, he is probably the only director who can make a movie about nothing and still have value.
" Povestea " is a movie about nothing, with no goal, no impact and many time, with bad lines spoken in the most artificial way. That would have not be a problem, if it was consistent of it's overall style. Whimsical until the end. But the movie is confusing and volatile. And boring. For each good scene, there is an equally bad one. For each smart and funny line there is an equally bad written line. Too bad for the cinematography, that does a very honourable job.
I have lots of patience. But I've spend half this movie checking facebook and whatsup, this is how interesting and captivating it was.
I suggest you wait for it to be available in some online platform, rather than pay a ticket in the cinema.
Terminal (2018)
Don't let the poor reviews fool you
This is one hell of a surprise. It's a stylised colour noir that breaths fun and happiness of filmmaking. Let's get this straight, noir is a specific genre, and a specific convention. If you expect a real, gritty, naturalistic approach you won't get it. So no point in watching this just so you can complain about. This is a fantasy story. It's graphic, and flamboyant. The acting is spot on, the cinematography is impeccable, the director has all narrative threads evolve and come together, nothing is forgotten and neglected.
The characters are typologies, are bigger than life, are in your face and so enjoyable constructed. Assassins, murders, crimes, light and shadow, guessing, always going forward; Grab a bag of popcorn, and enjoy some good ol' filmmaking
Black Butterfly (2017)
Almost there but not quite yet
~ starts out flat, with almost no character development, lots of dialog but no real interaction between them and their actions, becomes boring and predictable at a certain point; then it hits you, and for 2 minutes it becomes a great f*****g movie only to mess up everything in the end and give you the cheapest solution possible.
