Pineapple And Heartburn

Fantasia 2009 - Day 13

It starts quietly day after work with the presentation of the block of short films SMALL GAUGE TRAUMA , still dotted with interesting sights. It is humor that starts with THE BABY SONG SHREDDER ( 2008, David Avallone ), a short musical fun making fun without falling into the excesses of gore, unlike what the title might suggest imagine. Then it was the turn of FULL EMPLOYMENT ( 2008, Matthias Vogel & Thomas Oberlies ) that starts slowly and then unleashed in the second half to the delight of the room with the story top humor once the punch revealed. CONTROL ( 2009, Charles Spiteri ) starts slowly and gives some good ideas to the midway, but unfortunately without exploring them.

It then continues with one of the best of the lot, DEATH IN CHARGE (2009) of Devi Snively , a successful comedy with more than one surprise up his sleeve. A good staging makes you forget the little means, while successfully blending comedy, magic and horror. The Scavengers ( 2008, Cory Bowles ) is visually stunning and has a certain magic with these lugubrious young children accidentally falling on the corpse of a mermaid. We want more.

It continues with my favorite of the lot, RITE (2009) of Alicia Conway Revolving around the right of way of a particular girl, organized by his family. A sound work exquisite and innuendo sobering and allows the film to anchor itself in memory. The short of then MY LOVE LIVES IN THE SEWERS (2008) Handbook of Arji is interesting and fun by his bias toward the disgusting and body fluids, but tired despite its short duration. The black and white photography beautifully reflects the sticky side of the project.

is the turn of FALLOW (2009) by Dave Alexander & Colin Landry where we are heading to a rural aside to accomplish a specific property. The film has an aura of mystery joking, but really does not explore further the concept despite a good presentation of events. Maybe they are preparing a feature film with the same subject? Not uninteresting, but it leaves hungry. The following two short end the session quickly THE CHEST (2007) Can Evrenol Gorefest is a rather silly, stretching its length until the exhaustion of the desired effect and BOOB ( 2008, Honest ), ending on the fun with a breast implant doctors in terrorizing hospital. Fun.

FINE, TOTALLY FINE (2008), Yosuke Fujita . Magnificent film

sober enjoyable humor and endearing characters, forcing the joviality and good humor. Zany situations in which these characters evolve, charm every time, bringing sadness when practicing the final credits scroll: it is already late. Such a good time that ends quickly. Must see to cheer during a rainy day or simply to discover a beautiful pearl film.

is allowed THE CANYON fall, preferring to go, just to survive the rest of the festival.

Haemochromotosis And Eyes

Fantasia 2009 - Day 12

is dropped OROCHI , unfortunately, given the job of preventing travel-time and then launches into a double strand of the program pinku .

S & M HUNTER ( 1986, Shuji Kataoka ) starts the program with a sense of humor, does not annoying to insert a touch of madness when the opportunity presents itself. A film that entertains and whose shape is neat, charming by its excesses, but never forget the erotic side of the project. We also used a final mingling in mind tripped footage.

The dual program is continuing with YARIMAN ( 2008, Rei Sakamoto ), the latest film presented among pinku . It is easy to understand why the choice fell on it saw the great success that it is. Leaving sides political themes or comedy, we discover a interrelational drama about a couple on the decline. A former conquest of man, already adept adultery, resurfaces briefly and then died accidentally. This event will launch the couple, with the ashes of the deceased, searching for a suitable location for a funeral, the victim had no family. During this trip, the couple will certainly face their problems and visions of things. This may sound summary and some on paper, but the interpretation and staging enhances all to the sublime. Eroticism is also very present and effective in its frankness, its realism and sensuality. With such qualities, we want more of these unknown films here can make in our countries, the findings would be at the rendezvous.

LIFE IS HOT IN CRACKTOWN (2009) of Buddy Giovinazzo .

Giovinazzo comeback after ten years of absence since NO WAY HOME THE and UNSCARRED ! It is believed to be extinct as usual with projects difficult to mount, but I'm learning it actually is the author of novels and has lived for ten years in Germany where he made films for television. Well, I'd be curious to see those, but for now, we are entitled to an adaptation of one of his own novels, short stories, where characters are the focal point. We plunged back into a realistic world difficult where nothing is happy, just observe the daily life in an environment so meticulously unexplored. The setting gives way to the performers whose playing is impeccable high quality and this, from the whole party without exception. The result stands beautifully and takes an uncommon intensity during his final open to some accounts, leaving the viewer to continue the routine unsavory characters whose every action feels. We hope that the wait will not be too long to return to Giovinazzo on screens with a new project.

Next time: SMALL GAUGE TRAUMA 2009, FINE, TOTALLY FINE and THE CANYON.
