Tres días (2008)
A cult movie
I saw this movie in Espoo Cine (Helsinki). I'm still in shock. I really love it. I have never seen something like this. It's truly different, risky and original. A strange and hypnotic mix of genres (Sci-fi, thriller, horror, fantasy, drama), so well done, so powerful, so visual, so artistic, so straight, so special. Hard and tender at the same time. Yes, hard because of some intense sequences (there are some really controversial, violent, realistic and uncomfortable moments) but also moving and touching (this movie touches you something deep inside). Yes, this strange film is really hard on the surface but warm and tender under it (as the main character of the story). It's a rare, original and unusual tale of fears, love, pain and humanity. Since the moment it finished (with brave, brilliant and artistic shot full of sadness and beauty) I knew it: It's different, it's special, it's "unique".
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)
Really Happy and Lucky
I saw this movie a couple of days ago in the Espoo Cine International Film Festival, here in Helsinki, Finlandd. What can I say about it? Well... yes, I just loved it. Why do I LOVE IT? The actress - Sara Hawkins - is so great, so special, so brilliant (No doubt, she absolutely deserved the Berlin Acting Award). I almost fall in love with her during the screening. She has something special on the screen. The script is also plenty of truly special moments (Specially the driving class - I also love the actor! he is so acid, weird, rude and tender and the same time, a really nice character - and the flamenco class - definitely one of the funniest sequences in the movies, so crazy, so fun). I love the positive feeling in the whole movie, from the beginning until the end. The happiness, the crazy positive feeling in every sequence, in every minute, in every second of this truly special movie. Great script, great direction - Mr. Mike Leight - , great, refreshing and surprising performances. Definitely I was really lucky to run into this movie!...and yes, it made me so happy:)
