Shiny Pokemon On Pokemon Deluge

Fantasia 2009 - Day 17

WITHOUT PURPOSE (2009), Steve Leonard & Caroline Labreche .

First Feature Film Collective Dead Cat Films we have followed over the years with their very funny short films, showing an uncommon talent. One finds all the elements that made them popular: intelligent humor and / or scatological, talent, a love of the medium and a contagious joy to discover what they are preparing us. The leap to feature films with the whole lot of problems this company makes is beautifully performed by the troupe, always enthusiastic and fun. A great success with very few resources, except that here, these are a few ways to cleverly used an original, funny and thoroughly charming smile.

ROUGH CUT (2008) by Jang Hun .

One of the Korean films I expected more selections in the festival and I am happy: we get slapped around with this mix of comedy, drama and action movie and more beating around the middle of cinema. It gradually explores roughly the different facets of fiction and reality, blurring the lines when you are too anchored in one or the other. A good script, staged at the height of fabulous performances and exciting action scenes, all with a lot of depth that is far from simple entertaining lightness. Must see.

EMBODIMENT OF EVIL (2008) of José Mojica Marins .

The return of Jose Mojica Marins film, besides being the final chapter of his trilogy which began there over 40 years! It does not appear here with a conclusion of a shameful mediocrity to Argento (ouch) but in the presence of a singular artist always as charismatic on the screen with her 72 years well counted. It was not idle either behind the camera, adopting a modern staging, a sinister look and a screenplay (co-written by Dennison Ramalho ) for the times. Hat (!) For the mythical character of Zé do Caixão (aka Coffin Joe ) of Sailors who loses none of its verve and creative course that overlooks the project. This is not an absolute masterpiece, but a work of honest, polite and well conducted, over the vast majority of what plagues the market today. Several sequences confusing Lockers are inventive and the atmosphere is cynical appointment. A good return for Marius.

Then, the projection of the execrable TROLL 2 is tempting despite the screenings over the years, but bof, I opt for school wise after a meeting with high-minded Sailors.

Next time: THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL and BREATHLESS.
