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...
The Shape of Water - The Shape of Love What is it to be human? Is it to belong to the homo sapiens species? Or is it something more? Something deeper, something less superficial and scientific? Is it, perhaps, love? This is the question raised by this marvelous and lovely tale, titled The Shape of Water . Guillermo del Toro guides us through this dream of love and loss with such humanism and immerses us into an extraordinary world. We are immediately submerged in this magical world by the fantastic musical score of Alexandre Desplat. We dive into a magical world populated by fantastic sea creatures and terrible monsters, during the 60's, in the heat of the Cold War, all through the muteness of a princess without a voice but with a heart greater than most, who falls for a lost soul, victim of the injustices of power and greed of the world. This princess without a voice is Elisa Esposito (a name associated with orphans), played by Sally Hawkins in one of her best perfor...
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 ...
