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):
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...
A Star Is Born - A Longing for Change A woman unhappy with the modern world, wanting something more from her life. A man trying to fill the void inside him in any way possible, wanting something more from his life. What are they searching for? What are we searching for? A Star Is Born is surprisingly the film we were all in need of - it's a mirror of our society. It's a perfect depiction of the imbalances of our modern society, and Bradley Cooper does a perfect job in his debut on the director's chair, with a compassionate eye that captures the world and emotions better than many veteran directors. This visually and musically dazzling masterpiece is the translation of the longings of our society for a change - something more, something that will elevate humanity into something more humane, less shallow, that will fulfill the voids inside each and every one of us. This is what this musical masterpiece is all about - and it's so refreshing. The skeleton of the p...
The Academy Awards - Ranking of Best Picture Nominees This year was the first year I managed to watch all the Best Picture nominees before the ceremony, and so, I decided to rank them and writing a little something about each of them. I'll rank them from the one I least liked to the one I most liked. 8 - Bohemian Rhapsody - directed by Bryan Singer Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most underwhelming films I have seen this year. There is almost no cinematic value in this film, with sloppy editing, terrible directing and horrible writing. This is a film clearly just made to pander to Queen fans, with no depth given to it. It's a complete disservice to the legacy and life of Freddie Mercury and it reaches a point where it's almost offensive in its lack of depth. It's a perfect example of how Hollywood mishandles LGBTQ stories for their own profit. It's certainly appalling how it's nominated for Best Picture. The only reason it's nominated is probab...
