Director's Style
In here, you can find articles I wrote about the style of various of my favourite directors (up until now I have only written about Damien Chazelle):
Damien Chazelle - The Reality of Dreams He may only be 33 years old, with only four feature films under his belt, but he has already established himself as one of the most talented directors of our generation. He was referred to as "the Millenial Auteur" by The Hollywood Reporter , and rightfully so. He has already had two films nominated for Best Picture in the Academy Awards (and, hopefully, a third one this year), having already won one Oscar for Best Directing, becoming the youngest director to ever win such recognition. He is definitely already an auteur, and, in this article, I'll be exploring what connects his films. More specifically, I'll be talking about Whiplash , La La Land , and First Man (I haven't seen Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench yet, so I can't talk about it). I want to explore what do they have in common in terms of themes, messages, and techniques, and, through that, establish what may be called the "style" of Damien C...
Shopping Bag 2: Back in Business - Back and Better than Ever! "Our least worst film yet!", the tagline boldly states, preparing us for the wild ride that we are about to embark - a truly dementedly self-aware and entertaining one. Matthew Reynolds truly shows his directorial capacity in this corrosive crime comedy that has all the right amount of quirkiness and over-the-topness to make a perfect storm of entertainment and witty commentary that will leave you out of breath from laughter, all brilliantly condensed into a 40-minute short. If the two previous films of Some Guys with a Camera that I reviewed were outstanding achievements of zero-budget cinema, this is the crowning jewel of the incredible efforts by these young filmmakers from Liverpool. It's sleazy and absurd cinematic exploitation at its best, and it's such a joy to watch. After spending 10 years in jail, Sergeant Ian Lynch finds that the world has changed a lot - new technology, Brexit, Climate ...
Capernaum - Is there hope in a world of chaos? Buildings piled over each other in a chaotic pattern. A disordered world. A world where humanity has been forsaken in favor of greed. A world of chaos and disorder - that's what the titular world " capharnaum " means. This is what we see in this film. A world where children are exploited by those who should be protecting them. With an attentive and watchful eye, Nadine Labaki guides us through this heartbreaking world, never flinching at showing us its broken reality. Through a harrowing vision, she makes us question: How can a child grow in a world like this? A world that doesn't show them love. A world that abuses them. A world that doesn't recognize their existence. A world dominated by an archaic definition of nation. A world of chaos. How can they grow up and become good human beings if everything that they face constant abuse? How can they grow up if all they know is pain and chaos? How can they grow up? ...
