Sorry for updates on delays, different impediments beasts show up with the weeks charged. Despite the delay, the final days of the festival will arrive in the coming days.
THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL (2009) of Ti West .
Wow! Ti West has a long way since THE ROOST which had greatly displeased. We meet here in a time capsule highly successful, giving the impression of having discovered a gem out of the early 80s. For once, all works perfectly without the references to which we are used by all films tempting to return to the aesthetics of these years. The pace is completely different from what is being proposed today, focusing on the atmosphere with a simplistic scenario, but well built, leaving room for creativity in staging. The actors are all in the tone with a particular mention to Jocelin Donahue which is superb in its charming simplicity, carrying the film on his shoulders without problem. Indeed, all that takes place mostly in house with the good girl left alone trying to relieve boredom and anxiety by the use of unusual babysitter. Tom Noonan is also well creepy and sympathetic in his few scenes, suggesting a more sinister side behind his charm. The generic opening and ending are equally well by their smile look vintage beautifully done. A great way to fall into the nostalgia of the golden age horror cinema, all with respect, talent and inventiveness.
BREATHLESS (2008) Yang Ik-june . What
slap in the face! We'll say good, but now I was not expecting much. A masterful achievement Yang Ik-june as writer, producer, director and lead actor, at the same time exorcising his demons more by the film punch accomplished. The Rage and the intensity of the footage is palpable and felt fabulously and the work in question shows brutally vicious circle of violence surrounding the daily, sometimes heartbreaking by its realistic portrayal where the loophole is a rarity almost nonexistent . An unforgettable work highly recommended to discover as soon as possible. One of the jewels of the festival.
Next time: BEST WORST MOVIE and I SELL THE DEAD .
