                                                       The Adjustment Bureau


STARRING:» Matt Damon  Emily Blunt» Terence Stamp» John Slattery» Shohreh Aghdashloo


DIRECTOR:» George Nolfi


DURATION:» 105 minutes
A politician and a ballerina in love at first sight but can not seem to be those that determine their lives. The plan for both is different and a group of people control the destiny placed in the middle and try to separate them. The David (Matt Damon) begins a struggle against the agents of fate, the men of The Adjustment Bureau, to defend his love for Elise (Emily Blunt). I managed to change their destiny or will back down and accept the determination of other future?

The debut of screenwriter George Nolfi to the direction followed by a romantic science fiction with a strong existential quest. The issue of control of human destiny with the parameters of free will and unconstrained choice, is outdated. They have spent tons of ink from clerics, thinkers and writers of all kinds, like a film and theatrical years on this issue. In «The Adjustment Bureau» try a partly realistic, but overflowing with imagination, to show us his own thinking. He enlists police adventure elements to explain that his destiny is controlled and maintained by agents like those of the FBI. God is the boss, who disappointed in the results of human progress, when it granted them free will, again took control and writes the destiny of all, not to destroy the human race. Until mankind to contradict. What is the driving force? Of course Eros. The invincible in battle ...

The script does not do a great impression. The carriage is a bit more complicated, since it combines with chasing love story with political and existential. Reminiscent of the little «Inception» and more «Vanilla Sky», mainly to replace the pre-resolute reality with a more ideal. In a sense it is not bad. We say that a concept moves into mediocrity. For the male audience can certainly climb and level. That's why Emily Blunt is more beautiful than ever ...

Her face will be the envy of even the angels. The body is earthy and very attractive. The presence of vivid and erotic. The scenes that occurred left us with an open mouth. We do not want to exaggerate, but not watched much of the rest of cast ...

If we add all the elements, the film is interesting. It has a clever mind, a novel presentation of a classic theme and a female presence that are breathtaking. Not that I need and more. Entertainment, mainly entertainment ...


                                                        

                                                         Barney's Version


STARRING:» Paul Giamatti » Dustin Hoffman bio» Rosamund Pike» Minnie Driver» Rachelle Lefevre


DIRECTOR:» Richard J. Lewis


DURATION:134 minutes                                                             
Many weigh on his mind 60ari Barney Panofsky (Paul Giamatti): a turbulent life with three divorces and two children, a shadow from the past who still blame him for the vicious murder of a friend (Scott Speedman) in his youth, and Alzheimer's strikes him most loudly on the door. Before you erase the memories, was asked to remember and take us through his version regarding the important people and events that mark him. Starting from the bohemian years in Rome, the three women in his life (Rachelle Lefevre, Minnie Driver and Rosamund Pike), a veteran cop eccentric yet loving father (Dustin Hoffman) and several others entering and leaving out the world of Barney a man who has the insatiable and self-destruction in his blood.

Even the very late the Richler passionately wanted to see the award-winning book «Barney's Version» be transferred to the cloth on the cover of which had worked closely with his good friend Robert Lantos (producer). When Michael Konyves (writer) impressed by the book, looked for the rights, fell - for good luck - on the Lantos and the already well-established vision of the songs. Plus, he needed just one inspirational motivation, like that of Konyves to get the whole project at the stage of pre-production.

A decade after the death of Richler and his dream comes true, with the «Barney's Version» coming out in theaters. The Richard J. Lewis, director of video mostly shows (CSI) undertook a project with special sentimental value for many stakeholders. It is worth noting that the film made cameo appearances known to friends, fans and colleagues of the author (see David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan, Denys Arcand).

In this overall load expectations, Lewis delivers an honest, intensely bittersweet drama with strong comedic elements equally, attentive to detail (a great job on makeup by Morot), which reaches the highest possible level through some great performances. The first and best anyway great Paul Giamatti in the role of an eternally immature, kinda cute but egomaniac, cynical and ultimately tragic hero that moves and angers the public simultaneously.

From a short distance below the worshiped Dustin Hoffman who never stops playing with heart and boundless talent, while the lovely Rosamund Pike, the role of the ideal - literally - a woman gives change. Returns the utopian theory of heroine with such realism that it is practically impossible not to admire in every shot - not to say that we love her - and is also a major reason that the soul of his character Giamatti reaches its maximum depth through interaction with her. The trend, moreover, their relationship is hiding and turning point of the film, and to some extent one could argue for a moment that follows a quirky romantic comedy with a typical happy-end. The rest of the story, of course, holds that most ignore rom-com, what follows the 'happy' finale: the painful reality.

A typical sample of writing a movie character, where the shots work as faithful servants, of showing with respect as they come alive ekmaiefontas media from the pages of a distinguished literary work, «Barney's Version» is a movie that no prisoner ever to the limits of a single species. Starts balancing between the distinctive feel-good film and lighthearted mystery to evolve gradually into one - in some heartbreaking - drama that never loses touch with the comic - tragic irony to the point - point. Definitely has a lot to say in his soul (30 +) male viewer, but excludes the corresponding female audience. Besides, the hectic life of a man who precipitated as always ignore the importance of self-knowledge and wanted more than they had, I do not think leaving many indifferent.

RABBIT HOLE

STARRING:Nicole Kidman » Aaron Eckhart» Dianne Wiest» Miles Teller» Sandra Oh

DIRECTOR:» John Cameron Mitchell


DURATION:» 91 minutes

PREMIERE: » 10-02-11

http://www.imdb.com/find?q=Rabbit+Hole
 Becca (Nicole Kidman) and Howie (Aaron Eckhart) is a happily married couple. The perfect their world collapses once and for all o stroke when their son, Danny, killed by a car. The Becca, a former executive at a large company abandoned its position to devote himself to her family, trying to redefine its existence into the surreal atmosphere that make the well-meaning relatives and friends. The experiences of Becca, painful, embarrassing, funny, the push to find solace in a peculiar relationship with a strange young comic book creator, the Jason, the driver who killed her son. At the same time, the Howie immersed in the past and seek refuge in another woman who offers him what can not his wife.
The return of the talented American John Cameron Mitchell could not have gone unnoticed. We are talking about two separate director and controversial - for some - movies, beloved «Hedwig and The Angry Inch» and sexy «Shortbus». After four years of absence, surprised the movie audience, fans and otherwise, selecting a family drama based on the homonymous work of winning Pulitzer David Lindsay-Abaire and production of own Nicole Kidman. Given the somewhat underground filmography in which we have been accustomed in the past, it is impossible not to wonder that here in this film, watch the heartbreaking story - cliche a couple who lost their child and trying to recover.

Lamentation, obsession, anger and need for atonement are essential components of any drama that respects himself and «Rabbit Hole» all-encompassing. The Becca is trapped in a cocoon of denial and introspection, while Howie seems to be making genuine efforts to restore life to normal levels. But outbreaks of Becca in each direction (towards God, his mother and sister, neighbors and himself Howie), coupled with the apparent calm Howie dynamite atmosphere and everyone seeking peace in different people.

The curiosity with «Rabbit Hole» is that it remains a classic, banal display of these emotions, leading protagonists with mathematical precision in the chaos and existential impasse, but instead varies with telling realism, sometimes with humor, the way followed the couple to cope with loss, find the lost balance and eventually led to the desired clearance. And such an approach is undoubtedly interesting. However, some are running out of any originality of the project.

Having become accustomed to Nicole Kidman in such roles is not surprising that a good interpretation, which brought her again uncle Oscar, but not shocking. The Aaron Eckhart, manages to fulfill the role of agony than loving husband, although at times it seems that the interpretation is somewhat more sophisticated than necessary.

The direction of Mitchell is simple. Idealizations and filming without emotional blackmail, disassociating from the exuberant style he described in previous works, but to the extent that the viewer might be tired and not able to identify with the characters, which is essential for a complete family drama.

This course is «Rabbit Hole»: a simple film (in any way simplistic), which captures realistically the grief resulting from the loss of a loved one and the painful process of recovery. Without melodrama, but without his writing peak. With everything that implies.




IF I WANT TO WHISTLE, I WHISTLE

STARRING: » George Pistereanu» Ada Condeescu» Mihai Constantin» Clara Voda» Laurentiu Banescu

DIRECTOR: » Florin Serban


DURATION:91 minutes

PREMIERE:10/2/2011

Silviu is only 18 years old. Over the past 4 years is incarcerated in the Juvenile Detention Center, while the remaining five days only to be released. The five days but they look like an endless nightmare, when his mother appears after an absence of years to get together in Italy, the little brother, whose Silviu has grown like a son. Similarly, the life Silviu, displayed Ana, a beautiful his age working as a social worker. With emotions overwhelm him and time flowing backwards, the Silviu gradually driven to extremes ...


For 5 years a number of Romanian filmmakers turning to a dynamite film after another, setting up a current which some call the Romanian "new wave". Having grown most under the Ceausescu regime, make films in a transitional period for the country, which tries to smoothly integrate into the European Union, without having been completely eliminated, apparently the remains of a hardcore police state. Therefore a common element of their films is a system (physical and mental) depression in the context of which the heroes are asked to solve the problem presented before them - which is a key driver of the plot. The key thing is that the themes are not confined within the borders of the Romanian territory, but on a wider audience outside of them.

In «If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle» our hero, the 18 year old Silviu, spends his last days in a juvenile penitentiary, a prison, where correction is synonymous with ... sentencing. We do not know what he has done and is there is probably a bad thing, but the gentle nature and behavior of softly exclude the possibility that something very bad. In each case there is to be reformed to take that a new system of knowledge and values from that led him to offend, to 'humanised' and be reintegrated into society.

Through interaction with the staff of reform school and the other inmates, the Silviu educated. Viewing minor offenses punished disproportionately, in a particularly brutal. She learns that kindness is a weakness. He learns that to get what you want, even if it is entitled, even if it's something small and insignificant, should demands with violence. He learns that the dignity of the other is a concept that circumvented forward to meeting the personal desire. And so, when forced by circumstances to move from inaction to action, 'reformed' anymore, plays what he learned. Obviously he wants to reach the Florin Serban, however the front view is sacrificing something of consistency and plausibility of his character in the first stage of the film in a second, since the latter is set up entirely on the person Sylviu , the camera follows him constantly.

The cinema Serban does not have the elaborate frame of Porumboiu, or the muffled intensity Mungiu, and some irregularities in some editing options routiniarikes filming scenes key to the evolution of the film, working against it. But it is a simple movie, penetrating and very interesting, a worthy representative of contemporary Romanian cinema - although, we repeat, not the highest quality. And closes with a song Free range, so that sidled up to the Le-Fri and interpret the Greek to the distinctive voice and his normal activity, the tracks will now sigh in winter and Mykonos in the summer. What more is the Kiamos with 'whistled and Expired' say?
