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):
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...
Happy as Lazzaro - A Lost Innocence Is innocence possible in our modern world? Is it a dangerous or irresponsible act? Is it lost in the past? In a simpler time? Did we lose our naiveté? These are the questions that may be raised by this magical and heartfelt tale. We see it through a dreamlike, almost childish, yet realist atmosphere masterfully crafted by Alice Rohrwacher and her playful directing style. We plunge into a beautiful and humane vision of the world that questions the way we find ourselves nowadays. In a breath of fresh air, Rohrwacher shows us a unique vision of our world and invites us to evaluate what is happening to it - a world where innocence is an endangered species, a world where the innocent man is a lone wolf in the midst of a dark industrial jungle. This tale is divided into two parts set in two different times, with one part set in the idyllic countryside and the other set in the decadent city. It begins in the past, in an isolated pastoral v...
