Arrival (2016)
Immediately added to my list of favourites
Beautifully brilliant Mesmerisingly metaphorical Supremely suspenseful
They have arrived. It was always assumed they would. Protocols are in place to cater for such a situation. Humans have a chance to work together. Communication is key, between countries... ...and, incomprehensible beings. Beings from a place unknown - with a purpose unknown!
I loved the artistry of this film...especially the Zen like language depiction. I actually found much of it quite nerve wracking, in that once immersed into the story, some of the decision making by key characters forced me to reflect on the current crop of 'leaders' this world is at the mercy of!
Les petits mouchoirs (2010)
A spellbinding film about the near full spectrum of life.
This film took me completely by surprise. Having just finished watching it, what I am not surprised about is finding myself here...telling you to watch it for yourselves!!
I can't fault it (and I cannot understand why others have). Rich, connected characters, perfectly played by their actors, provide the core of the piece. This isn't a formula Hollywood movie, and that is what sets it apart from so many that get churned out year after year.
A group of friends go ahead with their annual holiday on the coast of France, after a brief, but consequential conversation about whether or not they should - considering a recent incident involving one of their constant companions. The foundation is set by a beginning that becomes more compelling, and poignant, as the film continues.
Characters interact with one another in a very real and natural manner. Another reviewer of this film made the interesting note that, at times, they felt they were watching a documentary. I can see why the said that. The acting is truly sublime. There is nothing flashy about the cinematography, nor the directing. It is a film about life, and it is shown to us in such a way that we accept it to not be a 'story' - that is the brilliance of the writing and directing of what has rocketed to become one of my all time favourite films (and that is saying something!).
If you liked Sleep With Me, you will enjoy this film (and vice versa).
