Running Turtle
By Lee Yeon-Woo
South Korea’s most visited movie. It’s a comedy from start to end. Never thought I would ever be laughing with a Korean movie. 4 out of 5.
Shocking Blue
By Mark de Cloe
Finally a dutch world premiere that was ok to watch. A dramatic story about the youth from the “bollenstreek” that loose a friend. Good cast and I’ll give a 4 out of 5.
Between Two Worlds
By Vimukthi Jayasundara
A strang but intriging movie on Shrilankan methology that hard to understand. Beautiful photography that keeps you thinking and trying to understand … But I failed… 2 for the story, 4 for the cinematography.
Atlantiques
By Mati Diop
Although the copy send into the festival was of very bad quality and the director excused herself for it, it was a nice 15 minutes portrait on fugitives that tell the story to escape from north Africa to Spain via the Atlantic ocean. Very well done and intimate. 4 out of 5 with a good and scarse use of symbolism at the beginning and end.
The closing movie of day 3 in my shift at the IFFR 2010.
A nice feature that depicts the struggle to overcome the death of a loved one. The fact that it’s about gay love does complicate things, but it doesn’t take over the story and the focus stays with the emotional part. A very well shot drama with excellent acting that is worth to go and watch.
4 out of 5 for this wonderful piece of work.
A good start of day 2 at the Iffr 2010 with an Asian movie and a beautiful story of two brothers. An emotional roller coaster that gives the necessary uncomfortable feelings. Dispite the slow ending and slight feeling of being stretched too long, I give it a 4 out of 5
