just finished watching society of the snow and i have so many thoughts. it is such a poignant, beautiful and important film. a film about human resilience, spirit, humanity and above all friendship. there’s so many films of this genre but i don’t remember seeing any whose gaze was this humanistic and respectful. not once for the entirety of two hours and twenty minutes of it do you feel it judging or glamourising its characters. and there’s so many profound moments. especially the scene with arturo and numa, when the former tells the latter that he has never been more faithful than this exact moment and he hasn’t placed his faith in God but all his friends that are helping him survive. and then there’s another moment when a character says he sees no point of following a God that tells him what to do at home but said nothing about how to survive on a mountain. these scene may sound bleak, but the beauty of the film lies in the radical hope they all possessed. even the ones who knew they weren’t going to make it but they hoped that their friends would. that at least one of them would survive.

and as numa said, “there’s no greater love than to give one’s life for friends”.

the world is bleak and there may not be much, but there are friends. there is community. there is humanity. there is hope.

"[Bill] Skarsgård’s performance makes the Marquis the John Wick franchise’s best villain yet. He’s absolutely perfect in the role, eating up scenery in the best way, even during his most understated moments."

“there is no greater love than to give one's life for friends.”

based on a remarkable true story

the film “la sociedad de la nieve” directed by spanish filmmaker j.a bayona is about an uruguayan rugby team's ill-fated journey to chile and whilst flying over the andes, the aircraft ends up crashing in the middle of nowhere in the harsh, freezing wilderness. the survivors now face extreme conditions and somehow go on to survive 72 days before getting rescued. the characters face a relentless struggle to survive going to hell and back multiple times and coming up with some of the most extreme solutions.

the contrast between unwavering determination to live and the acceptance of impending death resonated deeply with me, portraying a poignant exploration of the human experience. the film is acted out so intricately and the entire cast deserves endless praises for their work.

in terms of the cinematography i only have praise. the action scenes in particular deserve commendation for their intensity and meticulous attention to detail. you can most definitely tell how much raw effort went into making the film stay as true as possible to the original story. the crash scene in particular was brilliantly shot and is absolutely horrifying to watch capturing the gravity of the situation so well leaving you bamboozled. adaptations of real life events can easily stray from the intentional meaning but nor the technical departments of the film falters and the heart and soul is very well kept throughout the entire thing. as a viewer you always have an understanding of the film's intentions.

| 5STARS ***** |

Napoleon 2023, Review

I saw this with @idefilarate, and it was such a train-wreck. There was so much wrong with it, in the funniest way imaginable. We spent the entire film whispering what was wrong to each other.

This will be a long post, and I’m aware a lot of other people have already made some excellent points on here.

I can see what Ridley Scott was attempting with this film, and there are several reasons it didn’t work. I also have some historical specific points to make.

Directing Choices, Acting Problems, and the English Propaganda

It can be argued that Scott was trying to show Napoleon in a “more human” light, and I am always perfectly happy with that interpretation. It could also be argued he was deliberately showing Napoleon in a negative light, which I am also fine with. However, this film didn’t really do either. Napoleon did not seem more human for his brutish behaviour to Josephine, the childish tantrums or the forced jokes. If Scott had wanted a proper negative light, he would have focused on Napoleon’s ruthlessness, such as with the Massacre in Egypt, and his willingness to bypass the laws.

The overall sense I got when watching the film was that it was too compressed. The action went from point to point without showing how on Earth it got there. We had about ten minutes of Napoleon as consul, and then he was unexpectedly emperor, with a token line from Talleyrand about becoming emperor. Too much stuff in not enough time. However, I was also bored. By the time it got to Napoleon on Elba, I half felt like taking out my phone and doing something else. There was no narrative arc to keep the load of action in place, and the characters went through no real development.

There was some good acting. The lady playing Letizia Bonaparte was excellent, for the ten minutes we saw of her, as was Talleyrand. There were even a few scenes with the main characters (like Josephine cooing over the baby) that I actively enjoyed. But for the main part, every character had one mode and that was it. Napoleon was sulky and incompetently panicked. Josephine was moody or upset in a coquettish way. Tzar Alexis I was obnoxiously cheerful about everything.

I can see, as others have pointed out, that Scott was following English propaganda of the “Corsican Ogre”. However, he payed no attention to the fact that Wellington had a good deal of respect for Napoleon as a general, and that part of Napoleon’s charm for the English press was just how astonishingly unexpected he was. This wasn’t a caricature of Napoleon. This was a caricature of a caricature.

Historical Inaccuracies

Oh. Where to start with the many many many things that were wrong with this. I am fairly lenient when it comes to historical accuracy in fiction. Authors and filmmakers are allowed some artistic liberties, otherwise they wouldn’t be writing fiction. However, the sheer amount of nonsense Scott made up is incredible. I am going to list it in bullet-points, so as not to rant too much:

The age gap between Josephine and Napoleon, and how that messed up their relationship.

The utter butchery of FRev, including Marie Antoinette executed in 1789, and Robespierre looking like Danton and spouting random nonsense.

Hot-shot destroying the ships in Toulon harbour, whilst N hadn’t finished capturing little Gibraltar.

Josephine’s dress hanging off her shoulder as if she were a whore.

The lake battle with “the high ground”. It doesn’t deserve the name of Austerlitz.

The lack of tactics in any of the battles. Just men running at each other.

Josephine and Napoleon’s relationship being at best toxic and strained.

Napoleon returned from Elba because Josephine had a fling with Alexander, despite the fact Josephine had historically died earlier that year.

Letizia making Napoleon cheat randomly.

The scopes at Waterloo, the lack of farmhouses, the tents just behind the lines.

Wellington being clumsy and talking too much nonsense.

The use of Ça Ira and the Camagnole (which was in itself somewhat good), but the utter lack of any of the other excellent Napoleonic folk songs and military marches.

That is all that immediately comes to mind. Having said all that, I did enjoy the cinematography, and it was worth seeing, just to confirm my suspicions that it was a mess, and that there are many better films. Hopefully you’ve enjoyed this rant! Let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed off the list of failings.

The Taste of Things (La Passion de Dodin Bouffant, dir. Trần Anh Hùng) x VIFF 2023.

Trần makes [the film] such a feast of the senses in full cinematic fashion. It's an intoxicating film of simmering emotions told with a tenderly delightful touch throughout. There's a strong passion for its treatment of food preparation in the true style of a classic French meal. Its blend of romance and cooking for someone you love is so expertly realized.

hi what the FUCK. the taste of things. absolutely incredible film i’m copy/pasting my letterbox review here because this movie was cathartic and beautiful and has me drawn and quartered:

unleashed a millennia old torrent of raw emotion so deep in me that i couldn’t even identify what the emotion was. cried so hard for reasons beyond my understanding. oui oui baguette etc one of the most beautiful films i’ve ever seen so intimate that looking back up into the characters’ faces after reading the subtitles felt almost like an invasion

in other news saw the film in a cinema rented out entirely by elderly folk and the whole room was filled with the most salacious sounds every time a pot was on screen

in other other news the moment in which dodin moved his apprentice’s tiny bird after she placed it on top of the cloth instead of in the broth made me openly sob. no words no discipline simply silently moved the bird while she watched. and then she mimicked him. by jove i was in hysterics

tran anh hung my boy……….thank you

CARRIE- 1976 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you've got a taste for terror... Take Carrie to the Prom.

Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) is a lonely teenage girl with a hellish life. Her mother Margaret is deeply religious and abuses and controls her. At school, shes hated and bullied by her classmates. She also has the power of telekinesis and learns how to use it on her enemies...

I love this film. I cant think of a character in any film you feel worse for than Carrie White. Sissy Spacek is just amazing in this role. Seeing her get her revenge is both tragic and incredibly satisfying.

Good supporting cast featuring John Travolta, Piper Laurie, Nancy Allen and the great P.J Soles.

Incredible direction from Brian DePalma. I love the way the entire prom scene is filmed its brilliant. Carrie was the first film adapted from a Stephen King novel, the movie changed the ending which has said he prefers to the ending in his book.

One of my favourite movies.

I Just Watched: Society of the Snow (2023)

I don’t think I’ll ever be boarding on an aeroplane again after watching this!!! 😰

This was the most stressful and the most terrifying film I have ever seen. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through! I spent a good chunk of the runtime hugging my legs close to my body in absolute terror! I’m not joking! 😧

The film is based on the harrowing true story of when Flight 571, while flying from Uruguay to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes Mountains, and the people who survived the accident work together to survive while trying to navigate their way home.

I wasn’t familiar with the story going into it. My parents have heard of it though, so I had to rely on them most of the time to know if what we were watching was accurate or not. I was also a little apprehensive upon reading the film’s synopsis because it sounded like your typical Hollywood blockbuster where they’re likely to glorify certain events and miscast actors who portrayed the real people involved in these events.

While watching the film however, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn’t feel blockbuster-y to me at all! Everything felt incredibly intimate, as if you’re watching a documentary with the way it was shot and acted. It felt grounded in reality thanks to the stunning cinematography and wonderful acting from the cast. The casting was excellent and the acting phenomenal. So much so, that I grew to care about the characters they portrayed and the perils they faced. Everyone was fully committed to their roles and shone like stars in the sky. I was admittedly close to tears by the end. It was so beautiful, I loved it! 🥲

I found out after doing some research that a lot of what happened in the film was accurate to the source material, including the scenes that involved c******lism. Having that bit of information in the film made my jaw drop. That was a very bold move on the film’s part! It was very disturbing to witness, but I enjoyed it regardless. Maybe a couple of minor details here and there were a little inaccurate, but that didn’t bother me in the slightest.

I’ve just learned that J. A. Bayona directed this. It’s a name you might not be familiar with, but he was the one who directed one of my favourite disaster films The Impossible (2012), which starred Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, and a very young Tom Holland. Funnily enough, that film was also based on a horrifying true event. Instead of a plane in the Andes, it’s a tsunami in Thailand in 2004; an event my parents also remember reading and hearing about on the news. I can imagine Bayona researching the hell out of these events to make sure the stories he tells are as close to accurate as possible, and he delivers to an insane degree every single time.

On another note, Michael Giacchino composed the score for this film. It’s not quite as memorable as his other work for, say, Pixar for example, but it suited the tone of the film exceptionally well. So if you’re a fan of his music, I recommend giving it a listen.

Overall, an utterly compelling and terrifying film to sit through. It filled its 2 1/2 hr long runtime very well. I cannot recommend this film enough! Give it a watch if you have the time.

(Now I need to watch it again in the original Spanish language. We watched the English dub and it was actually pretty good. English dubbed versions of foreign languages are notoriously awful (at least, by Netflix’s standard), so I was surprised by that. I’ll need to see how it compares with the original Spanish version though.)

9/10

#Trying to make an effort to diversify my blog a bit #I could talk about films all day honestly. I’m surprised I haven’t talked about it enough here #See? I don’t *just* talk about F1!#I Just Watched…#society of the snow #la sociedad de la nieve #2023 #netflix #2024 #j. a. bayona #michael giacchino #spanish #films #movies #cinema #film review #letterboxd #andes #heidia gemstones

Duna: Parte Dois (Filme Review Sem Spoiler)

Desde os primeiros minutos, fica claro que Villeneuve e sua equipe técnica não pouparam esforços para criar um espetáculo visual deslumbrante.

O contemplativo do primeiro filme deu lugar a uma abordagem mais objetiva. A trilha sonora tribal marcante do primeiro filme, que despertou muitos espectadores de alguns cochilos no cinema, não está presente com a mesma intensidade nesta continuação, o que, diga-se de passagem, para mim é uma surpresa.

Goncharov

Summary: A former discotheque owner known only as Goncharov (Robert de Niro) moves to Naples after the fall of the Soviet Union, and rises through the ranks of organised crime.

Engrossing epic tragedy with beautiful cinematography and vibrant score. Cybill Shepard a highlight. Stumbles in second act, but quickly recovers.

Rating: 4.25/5

I hate watched blonde and this is my take:

- Using this woman’s trauma in an exploitative manner is disgusting.

- Using this woman’s trauma to push your own political agenda is disgusting.

- Depicting this woman as a ditz when she literally wasn’t is disgusting.

- I’m not a director but aside from all of the discourse, it’s literally a garbage film… millions wasted on this film for what?

Let this woman rest.

Triangle of Sadness

A cruise for the super-rich sinks, leaving the survivors, including a celebrity fashion couple, stranded on a deserted island.

This year's Palme d'Or when to Triangle of Sadness, directed by Ruben Ostlund. And as always with Cannes, it would be a divisive film. Triangle of Sadness absolutely lives up to that divisiveness with the film being a satire on the super-rich, and it completely delivers on that aspect.

Triangle of Sadness is a near-perfect "eat the rich" satire. Ostlund masterfully portrays the fake and narcissistic personalities of the super-rich. From their complete lack of awareness of others and their narcissism, it's perfect. The writing is sharp and filled with witty, comedic dialogue. The classic use of slapstick comedy, further adds to this masterful satire. The story is the right amount of over-the-top satire and realism, that is worthy of the Palme d'Or. My only issue is the first act because the comedy does not stick as well and feels a bit out of place.

All of the actors bring their comedic a-game for this film. Harris Dickinson and Charlbi Dean (may she rest in peace), perfectly portray the toxic and fake celebrity couple. Dolly de Leon masterfully showcases when someone of lower class status is put into a position of power and how easily they become corrupt. Furthermore, the chemistry between Woody Harrelson and Zlatko Buric was perfection. Both of them had fantastic banter, and Buric is easily my favorite performance of this film. The remaining cast members masterfully bring their comedic chops to this glorious satire.

Overall, Triangle of Sadness is a masterful satire that deserved the Palme d'Or. It's hysterical and thought-provoking, and I hope it gets some love from the Academy.

I am giving Triangle of Sadness, an A-.

Killers of the Flower Moon (dir. Martin Scorsese).

How Scorsese dramatizes the breadth and detail of the Osage County murders and the plot against the Native American wealth (the richest people per capita at the time) as an intimate yet sprawling crime saga of a western makes for a deeply fascinating and stirring portrait of moral rot told through a psychological lens.

Recently Viewed: Phantom of the Paradise

[The following review contains SPOILERS; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]

Like many of its contemporaries (including Tommy and The Rocky Horror Picture Show), Phantom of the Paradise is an exercise in excess and audacity—a campy, kitschy, absurdist glam-rock opera that nimbly navigates the razor-thin boundary between horror and comedy.

It’s also a biting satire—a scathing condemnation of the exploitative nature of the entertainment industry. The central villain, Swan, is a shrewd, manipulative media mogul that reduces art to a mere commodity, with little regard for its creators; he treats the singers, songwriters, and musicians in his employ as utterly disposable—fueling them up with booze and drugs to keep them productive and pliable, wringing out every ounce of creativity, and ultimately discarding them like so much scrap paper. Indeed, one of his Faustian contracts deprives our protagonist—meek, mild-mannered composer Winslow Leach—of his voice, his face, and (in a supernatural twist) even his mortality, trapping him in eternal servitude… an eerily prescient plot point that resonates with SAG-AFTRA’s ongoing battle against digital doppelgängers, artificial intelligence, and “in perpetuity” likeness licensing agreements.

Director Brian De Palma does not, however, restrict his social commentary exclusively to corrupt corporate executives; the audience, he argues, is equally complicit in the desecration of self-expression. Swan’s adoring public enables his devious machinations, ravenously devouring every bland, soulless, sanitized pop hit that he churns out and demanding more, more, more! This “subtextual” conflict is at its most blatant and unsubtle during the film’s blood-soaked grand finale: as the performers are literally butchered onstage, the boisterous crowd continues to dance and cheer without a care in the world, either oblivious or indifferent to the suffering of the characters that they ostensibly idolize (neither scenario is particularly encouraging).

Thus, consumerism, commercialism, and celebrity worship are Phantom of the Paradise’s true antagonists—and the fact that these themes remain so relevant nearly half a century after the movie’s initial release is absolutely chilling.
