Quello che cerchi (2001)
If Pound made a movie! A divine Comedy!
I just returned from the second screening of this film in American. The director a former Cal arts grad return tonight to showcase his first feature film, along with his DP.
This is one of those movies that not many get to see and it is a shame too. It is a low low budget DV masterpiece that merges surrealism and reality to create a world of it's own. This a very deep and multilayered account of depressed man and a boy who is lost and needs to find answer by finding his MOM. There is so much great stuff i can write about this movie.
I don't have enough words or time to describe this movie or piece of art.
It is both political and gentle, homoerotic and romantic, it is full of mystery and beauty. All actor give brilliant performances and really gives themselves to this picture.
The director shoot 80 hours of footage in a doc/free style that he boiled down to 1 hour 40 mins.. You can tell, this effort gives each character a very deep soul.
Anyway see this movie if you can and if you can't yell.

Peau d'homme coeur de bête (1999)
a priminal scream!
I just returned from watching this film at class at cal arts and it left me without many words to say. Sorry that this review is all over the place.
This is a film to not watch lightly, it is dark, it is honest, and it doesn't give you answers. I have to disagree with the two neg. comments. The violence in this movie is not just towards women or children or is it looked well upon.
This is a film that tries to look at Men or Violence of men in a post war France. These men all are human, but are not able to deal with their beasts.
The acting in this film is amazing. All in the cast pulls from themselves real characters and real emotions. I never felt like these were actors instead they seems to be these people.
I have to give a lot of credit to the little girl she was just amazing. She held this movie together with her beautiful performance.
This movie is one I recommend highly, but be warned, it is not a movie to just go see and not think about, there is a lot to think about in this movie, and like I said there are no answers given, no morals, no understanding to take from it, but there is a lot there.
An added note.
This movie was made by a women and while it might be hard to see how a women would make a movie with so much violence towards her own sex it is not hard
to see why she choose to in the end because the women rule in this kind of violence needs to be shown.
Don't look away.
10 out of 10.....
Fight Club (1999)
When all else fails try something New
I have to disagree with everything you say.......
This movie is perfection, unsurpassed acting, style and a brilliant writing. This is one of my favorite this year and forever. I can't believe the great movies that have come out lately....American Beauty, White cat, black cat, Six sense.... This is one of those movies I will be thinking about for days and even months, the story is so deep I like the twists and how I must go back and see it again. Flash back humor, only three of us got that in the theater but that is funny, .... This movie is an 11 as is American Beauty...... Go see it before you have to be lost in the crowd that have.... visually it is a masterpiece, in a business where it is hard to do something that has not been done before along come this. Brilliant.....See it even though it is not for everyone and you must wonder how it got made in today's world where the message is against the core 1%.
