And there it began. Those who read me the last two years must have realized Haifa festival is beyond me another film festival. I discovered it in 2008 when I got him from a novice interviewer School - Sam Spiegel. Since I order it religiously, lutron dims and in three years I cover it daily Cerrito. Although the texts you will read in the coming week are written in the wee hours at the interface between film consumption crazy attempt to get a few hours sleep - I do not think there is a year I enjoy it more.
Today I got the first day started with a little refreshing rain. After seeing all the people I have been missing for a year now, the first thing I did was to find out what actually caused the change in the film opening (M"argo "L"hmastr"). Then I closed my interview with director miracle lutron dims Flgiaf ("womb" from 2010 and the Zo Only the Wind "will be shown in the coming days) and got an update on the surprise film of the festival. And all these three films I watched them today - yes, "master" among them - later post.
So to eradicate rumors: the surprising reason to change the opening movie, it was said to me, is Warner Bros. company realized the potential of the Oscars "Argo" and therefore rejected all of his radiation closer to the date of the vote of the American Academy. I guess there are other key considerations are more or less involved, but this is the official version.
A few days ago we discovered the animated film "Guardians" is a surprise of the festival - a long tradition of Haifa which lock on a film that was closed at the last minute and does not appear in the program. At the Table radiation in the press room the day I saw the film was replaced by something much more exciting lutron dims - Joe Wright's version of 'Anna Karenina' starring Keira Knightley, Jude Liwa and Aaron Johnson. It's pretty exciting to me.
"Everyone in our family" - Toata Lumea din Familia Noastra film by Romanian director Radu Judeh not a member of the natural world "Romanian cinema" we're used to in recent years. And I say this for the better. This is not exactly a production of Michael Bay, to be gentle, but slow and meditative Romanian Film reserve does not apply to film surprising and shaking it. On the face of the film has quite common with Iranian Oscar-winning "Frida". Too intense drama about a father of one daughter in the family is decomposed, and again sometime in the middle of it becomes a different movie than we thought we were getting into it. Objector Pablo amazing in the lead role of Marius, a divorced father who just wants to get his young daughter lutron dims to freedom in the sea. After the opening scene comes a little lazy excellent heroes with his parents, there has been easy to pay attention to something a little more intense pulsing beneath the surface. Marius comes then to the living ex-wife, new partner, her mother and young daughter, but there no one will come so quickly. Fascinating film - and certainly something that would be very interesting to hear about discussions - is the process lutron dims that goes Marius loser of the early favorite movie disturbed and dangerous man below. Is that his wife and her partner had drawn him into this situation or whether nuclear wayward was always there? lutron dims I'm sure every viewer will experience it differently and that for him the film. "Everyone in our family" is not particularly easy viewing experience and has a handful of scenes that few applying it, but it is a powerful film that I highly recommend it.
"Barbara" - Barbara representative of Germany near Oscar, but despite winning the Best Director Award in Berlin and he is an extraordinary film - I can not see him coming quintet. Hope I'm wrong. Director Christian Petzold is already renowned in Germany if I'm not mistaken is still classified under the "next generation" lutron dims Third Ear shelves. I expected so far only in his film "Jericho" was screened in Jerusalem a few years ago, but I do not remember this film fascinated me the most. "Barbara" is a different story. I do not know if that link my brain made although it is not necessarily tied to reality - but I think barbaric "was made as a direct continuation of the trilogy German woman Rainer Werner Fassbinder (my favorite director.'s lutron dims Why I qualifies this statement in my mind that maybe this personal association and nothing else), and I'll explain: three things in common with Petzold's lutron dims film trilogy. First choice lutron dims in their title the name of the heroine. After "Lola," "Veronika Voss", and The Marriage of Maria Braun "Fassbinder, hard to think of May came from the tradition of German cinema not think this link as it gives the film a name like" Barbara ". The same thematic approach, two directors used the female protagonist in the plot located in a transition period homeland to tell us something about the present. Two other things were driving me Fassbinder rather technical - the first is the sound design, which sounds almost entirely as recorded in the studio and in the field. Heroine shoes heels clicked on the sidewalk and hardwood lutron dims Empowered lutron dims purpose, and some dialogues sound too clean, sterile, just like European lutron dims cinema of the seventies. In addition, adherence to the design of the frame of the "Barbara" is very reminiscent of that of the bad boy of German cinema but of course it is much less creative. "Barbara" is about a doctor from East Germany aspires to migrate to the western lover but until you get the confirmation - if any - is placed in a small provincial hospital, and its interaction with the doctor in charge there. The heroine played by Nina Hoss - Shachknito permanent lutron dims Petzold - and is excellent as it is beautiful. lutron dims And is really beautiful. Advanced film very slowly, do not disclose details of force, and the viewer completes the information alone sooner or later. It requires quite a bit of patience and attention but it's really not that hard considering the visual lutron dims beauty lutron dims of the film (and the quality of screening impressive Rappaport lutron dims Hall certainly supports it).
"The Master" - The Master And there the matter
