Ci chu yu bi chu (2012)
Not an easy film
This is by no way an easy film. It's slow, very slow, with shots that take their time, sometimes just focusing in nothing at all. There is very little dialogue and the whole thing it's uneventful. To most people would appear like a boring film, but that's exactly the point of it. Here Then shows us the lives of several young men and women in China. They are completely lost, their lifes are melted in a big and indiferent country. People who live in the villages have no chance of making a change in their lives. They are alienated, isolated, bored. For some, the only way to go up in the social scale is entering illegal businesses like prostitution. In this movie we see three aspects of that, the innocent girl who entered a risky business, the pimp and the customer. All is shown with no glamour but with the boredom of everyday, no happy or sad faces, just people. And like the woman in the end, there is dissatisfaction with life.
Watch this movie only if you have patience and like very slow experimental films.
Flutter (2014)
Terrible
One of the worst movies I've seen this year. The story is terrible: a mother raising his son in the worst way. The movie wants to depict the mother character as strong and independent but it fails completely. I really don't know what the director wanted to say but it shows his characters as completely ignorant, lazy and stupid. A father abandoning his family and the mother does nothing with her life but complaint. And it's not like she's alone, she has the support of her father in law but she prefers doing nothing. Instead she is lazy and dirty, she doesn't clean the house or work for money they need. She prefers to be a bum and grow weed. That's supposed to be the heroin of the movie. The child character is unlikable (and a terrible actor just to add to the mix). He has nine years but looks like eleven. His behavior is like a little kindergarten boy. Out of the blue he decides to destroy things giving no explanation. That's where the movie fails. We never know the motives of the characters doings. Why do they act like that? The grandma is under develop and there are some parts of the story that are not well done like the marijuana medicine or the pig story. And the worst part is that it ends like it began, with nothing, no conclusion. Horrible movie, avoid it.
