El Taxista (2024)
the atmosphere
The atmosphere is the main virtue of this short film about a taxi driver, a misterious client, the radio controled by presumed client and an end generous to offer to viewer a lot of hipothesis.
Husband, father, working at late hour, in isolated location , expecting a client from nowhere are the basic details of a film based not exactly on story but image and music.
So, good option for admirers of genre , for provocative final, suggesting Gothic stories influence about double person, for rumours about fate of taxi drivers and dangerous clients , for the try of Noah to propose a coherent character.
4min (2017)
radical decision
A man discovers his wife making love with a guy. His reaction is far to be a soft one.
But before the presence of police, he tries understand the motif of infidelity. The dialogue with his wife demonstrates his super ego, his pride and his precise perspective about marriage.
Her words are traits of profound crisis and deep loneliness.
So, he must make a decision. And he does, the only for save his honor and define the terms of relation of his wife.
A beautiful crafted short drama about things so rare observed by the near other and about proud as axis of perspectives about facts and source of decisions.
The Last Note (2019)
a couple
A couple . Her infidelity. His answer.
His words define the loneliness , the image offering presumed action for reconciliate with himself.
Her letter is more pragmatic, like the gesture defining the end of relation.
A beautiful crafted short mystery film about 20 years of marriage, about different expectations of each partner and about radical decision , sure, her act seeming pretty melodramatic. But the message of film is precise crafted, reflecting familiar details from near reality.
So, a good film, especialy for bitterness of profound realism and for final. In some cases, the death is the only reasonable solution.
Friendship (2022)
nice
A profound nice short film about two ladies and their lives defined by friendship from school years to venerability.
Not the drawings, not the music or colors or the construction of story itself are real important but the fair dose of realism.
Beautiful for seductive remind of small episodes defining each existence. In my case , for the remind of the friendship between my grandmother and one of her mates , same until the rest of my grandmother. So, I saw it, in some measure, as a personal story. Touching, simple and useful as kick to hommage of friendship and the good memories about our true friends.
The Purgamentum (2019)
rumours from underwater
Difficult to write what real impress in case of this short film. The underwater scenes, like the music are the good points, the experience of young biologist about the fate of her mate works well , to, the strange noises - slices of a kind of conversation is the heart of a film offering not only a well horror recipe well applied, but the fair atmosphere, in which crumbs of classics are easz recognizible.
A film about nature and plastic bags and loneliness and the unknow menace , about strange sounds and the courage, result of routine, of the other.
In simple terms, a gem, the performance of Julie Bruns being one of sorces of this definition.
End of the Line (2023)
Harry
A young man, unlucky at whole. Maybe too sensitive , too polite or good intentioned.
As waiter, he is persecuted bz chef.
In love, he can not protect his girlfriend .
The relation with mother is disturbed by missunderstanding. The noble intention to a young woman in bar works real bad.
But, in night, a stranger offers to Harry a new perspective about opportunities and presumed way to choose. Admirable film for remind of small people from Dostoyvsky writings, for beautiful performance of James Wiles and for the final, enigmatic at first sight.
A film about way to assume your life. Precise constructed, clever moral.
This Is English (2019)
the grammar
It reminds English hooligans. Not soccesr, only grammar. But behavior of men is the same, the violence represents the answer , the nationalism rules in same terms. And the fight is the key, without can say than grammar represents ..a pretext.
A nice ironic perspective about one of groups of men and they excuse for brutal form of manhood.
And not the most efficient leader , animated by grammar mistake from childhood, refuged , after exclusion from group in a sort of romance ( she being the obscure...enemy ).
Charming story, familiar aspects and the grammar as source of proud, conflicts and ...troubles.
The Colour of Guilt (2022) (2022)
a secret
A man. His daughter. Her decision to stay with her father during lockdown. Not the most pleasant cohabitation because the man is prisoner of obvious grief, covered in alcohol.
A secret is the key of his strange attitude, total isolation. And the great piece of story remains the answer of daughter.
The confrontation against past. A terrible gesture, inspired by love. And the punishment not so easy undertood by the near others.
At first sight, melancholia defines this story. In fact, it is only portrait of a decision , fair in its essence, correct to be blamed by moral rules.
A film proposing only questions . And this makes it just great.
Safe (2021)
options of a father
The decisions of a father about his son. First, to protect him by law, asuming risks, hoping about a form of innocence and responsability of young man.
Second , front to gestures, superficiality, ignorance of consequences of his gestures of boy, the father has a simple, radical option.
Almost a Biblical story, beautiful crafted, admirable acted, Will Patton offering a great role as father discovering the empty sense of his noble intentions.
The basic virtue of film - maybe the realism of situation.
In short, a film about love, the unique one, about choices created exactly by this noble sentiment.
Forgetting Caroline (2021)
a ball for boy
A profound sensitive theme, fair, delicate , precise , nuanced explored by wise crafted short film about adults, their decisions, the reflection of decisions on child life.
A young girl on airport, with her mother and her boyfriend. The end of relation of adults and the try to offer reasonable answer to girl.
After years, a man and his son in a game shop. The young salesgirl and a ball as gift for boy offered by her. A moving last scene and the fair moral.
Beautiful performance of young Amani Solorio, inspired exploration of subject and smart use of fash backs.
A film about childhood and the grief remaining the same after decades.
Hope (2017)
slice of near reality in parable package
More than a short horror, a smart crafted parable about cruelty -especially kids-, frustrations, peripheric social position and , after patience , in critic moment, the violent reaction.
This fair dose of realism makes Hope more than interesting, not ignoring make up, romance, cinematography and nice crafted story.
In short, a slice from near realitz, all the characters being more than familiar, and the effort of lonely guy to ignore the violence and cruelty of the others against him.
Few powerful scenes , inspired end and a sort of warning about details defining near reality.
So, surprising good , useful for message, short film.
I Do (2023)
more than a lie
Two Russian students in Canada. The risk of deportation. A couple, an idea, a solution. But one of they is so thirsty by need of pleasure, dominated by instinct and violence, than the work of his mate is brutal ruined.
Beautiful acted, admirable crafted story. But the main virtue is the poetry, pure Russian, from the scenes in church to the intro and final, from violence episodes to the conversation with mother.
It is obvious than the presumed lie represents more for one of young men, looking for help and be near the partner.
For many reasons, I discovered it as a gem. For delicate manner to propose the touching story, to the image and colors.
Born Again Builders (2019)
sweet irony
A group of men. At first sight, a self help one against misoginity. A new member and talks on fragil ground, obvious being than the group is one of many brilliant ideas of bosses , all is theory, the men are in skin of a role but acting is difficult and the ingenuity of builders is the main virtue.
The leader, Bill, works to drive in right direction the group , and Mark davison offers a little more than nice performance.
The creepy detail-Hannah Chalmers as Bill. But, sure, the vision of director must be respected and, maybe appreciated.
So, sweet irony, familiar scenes from the groups of a form of reeducation and formal activity for presumed noble cause. And a pure crazy motto about brain and breasts of...birds.
Twin Flames (2024)
Naina and Aman
Two young people in park. Her accident , his help. Their dialogue , discovering common details, obvious, too many defining life of each of them.
A beautiful short film, in profound sense. Well acted, nice crafted dialogue, reminding a form of special romance in which the generosity and the vulnerability of each character matters in essential manner.
Easy to define it as a sort of soup for soul. Loving, admiring, and feeling as one of precious lesson of life with some magic touch.
Indeed, a significant detail - it is an Indian film. But this is the main root of his great- intense beauty .
So, Twin Flames.
Sonnenstich (2004)
the bitterness
Summer vacantion. A young couple at village house of her mother. The happiness seems the certitude. But the young woman surprised be cheated by her boyfriend, the person being more than familiar.
The game of hypocritic attitudes, the dialogues, the looks are basic pieces of this film defined by bitterness of impossible situation and tragic answer to situation from the young lady.
Difficult to write too many, except , maybe the familiar air of summer French films, the fair construction of tension and the not so surprising final.
And, sure,the traits of Martina Schwab reminding Shelley Duvall.
L'impasse (2022)
decent
The first part I saw it with skeptikism. Old ingredients, from past romance of youth and the brutal end, the sepia images of past, a not so original mix of romance and crime.
But the presence of Thierry Neuvic and. Gwendoline Hamon, like Andrea Ferreol are a good point, like the fair craft of mature love story and the construction of story of death of. Tomas Cassagne father.
Indeed, a lot of mistakes and serious dose of unrealism, cheap solutions and too familiar recipe of recipe Meurtre a... . But it reminds, in reasonable - decent way confrontation against traumas, of past or recent, the domination of mother and the interest for fortune.
So, not memorable, not so bad.
Made for Each Other (2023)
correct
I suppose, correct is the fair term to define this charming romance. For nice collection of references, from Jewish traditions, life style and parenthood, to the legend of Pygmalion or Golem, from the inspired option for Aaron O Connell in role of Clay and his more than seductive definition of perfect guy, dream of parents of young lady , sweet irony against modelling and the huge appetit to learn, love, see the beloved one as perfect to the good option for Matt Cohen as...David Cohen.
For me, the gift of gifts is the presence ( and beautiful contribution to story ) of Illeana Douglas.
In short, little more than pleasant, including for holes , mistakes and the not so fair final.
Démons de midi (1979)
middle age crisis
Simple, in time of adultescence, to understand the decisions, the gestures and the deep loneliness of Francois Morot, who, at 45 years old, decides be more free than can be reasonable.
A film seductive for performances, more than for story , the last reminding the bad relation with past and the adventures offering illusion of second youth.
The main virtue- fair portrait of main character proposed by Pierre Mondy, from thief work to the relation with women.
Special - a scene , reduced at sketch, the dialogue and the invitation for a guy, in night, front to sea .
I admitt, I love it, not ignoring than the motif can be my middle age period. Admirable - the end.
Don't Fret the Devil (2023)
rings
Amusing. First impression about a zoung man who, in some measure, seems version of Paganini and Ivan Turbinca - for be a guitar master, he sell his soul to devil, captures the malefic entitz and hopes than a priest can help him to reobtain the soul.
But the priest is not exactly ...perfect, the devil is not so easy to be hunt - the culpability of spiritual father is not insignificant about this - and the solution of guitar player is radical - pragmatic.
At the end , I saw it as interogation to viewer about a presumed if , about purety of his soul and about simple solution for reduce the number of rings on fingers.
What Dreams May Come (2024)
more than inspired resume
At the first sight, a resume of Hamlet. Well crafted, well acted, intense, provocative, reflecting near reality using the masterpiece of William Shakespeare.
In fact, a good remind about themes of the play, in proper, smart and efficient way.
A very short film about politic, frustration, apparences and love.
About decisions and good remind , in some measure, of Hamlet version by Robert Icke,Rhodri Huw and Ilinca Radulian.
Familiar moments , reflected in precise scenes.
So, more than a good resume but useful remind Hector G Luna as efficient Claudius, Rachell Carson Bergley as the fair Gertrude, McKayla Cox as not exactly the suave version of Ophelia .
Not last, interesting portrait of Hamlet proposed by Garrett Edell.
La famille Bélier (2014)
admirable
The first thought , behind see it , was - it is the source of inspiration for too famous CODA. But, not doubts, it represents more.
For admirable performances, for humor and for Michel Sardou. For rural France and for straight to change the thing and make fair options. For something who can be only French - indeed, the cheese is not excluded like the latex accident -.
In short, it is one of films for who, at final, you are just grateful to entire team crafting it.
A great film for a wise dose of ingenuity and fresh perspective about family spirit. A masterpiece ? No doubts. But in manner more precise and more useful than you expect.
La douche (2005)
in profound sense, beautiful
I suppose, the precise - clear simplicity is the main virtue of this short film.
A warning, a man under shower water, the revolt of instalation. And great cinematography.
Difficult to define it because the fascination rules, the remind of La Horla by Guy de Maupassant is not absent, the remind of old fears in situation of loneliness, the realistic panick of man and the goldenfish as witness, the final image of bathroom are basic ingredients of an admirable short film about risks, decisions of objects or a form of perfect murder.
In short, just great film, wise crafted moment by moment , impressive at whole.
Papillon (2024)
Alfred Nakache
A short animation inspired by his life. A French butterfly style champion and his life, from early childhood, when his mother familiariye him with swim to the venerable age, after the experiences of competitions, antisemitism - he is Jew - , loss of wife and kid at Auschwitz, new family and the beaches of Reunion.
Admirable colors and development of inspired poetry of images, nice crafted suggestions and fair construction of each segment of Nakache life.
One of most profound portraits of antisemitism , destroying careers and lives .
One of great portraits of solidarity of mates.
And one of stories keeped , for a time, in memory, as precious lesson, as nice remind about vocation and, some measure, about your life.
Romance in Hawaii (2023)
hula dance lessons
The receip being more than familiar, the spices - details are the only interesting.
In this case, hula dance and the mother of Ikaika. The reconciliation mentor - student sounds so fake than the final becomes more than reasonable. Large doses of pure unrealism and the expected critic moment. And, for many reasons, it seems enough, including for wish to offer a sort of introduction in Hawaiian culture.
But the moves of hula dance, this is the basic motif to see this film . In rest, competition, familiar Peter Porte relegate in the skin of bad guy, some nice friendship story and presumed Hawaii locations.
Rip in Time (2022)
more than nice
Very often, nice seems for me enough for define a Hallmark movie. In this case, I like it sounds...better.
Not for romance. The recipe is the same . Not for time travel. It was used in many ways. But for some dose of realistic reactions of Rip, for the simple and pleasant definition of greatness of unitated states, for eulogy of family and for differences between XVIII century and XXI century, for social aspects reflections, for the cave reminding old fairy tales and for the return to house.
Indeed, not enthusiastic about end , too...sappy, but could be it different ?
No doubts, a real beautiful film. Sure, being History teacher are more than reasonable subjective but good occasion for write a good word about a Hallmark film.
