Another Earth?=)) Ladies and gents of the jury, I believe there's a movie called Melancholia and this movie pretty much wipes its ass with AE. With every right to do so, I may add...

Ete mue, Win. Si mie imi place Melancholia, dar trebuie sa recunosti ca The Artist rupe tot anul asta. ;)

Inca n-am vazut The Artist, faceam comparatie intre cele doua. Iar mie Another Earth imi miroase a plagiat nerusinat/lesinat.

Da, la topul Cahiers mi s-a parut penal din partea lor sa puna We Have a Pope pe primul loc. Sau simpla prezenta a lui Super 8. De aia nici n-am postat topul lor. Radea lumea de el :))
Dar deja je m'en fiche-ismul e un trademark istoric pentru ei si cine n-a citit niciodata revista e tentat sa le dea cu flit. Nu e asa. Da, verdictele lor sunt uneori "suprarealiste" (ex. Cloverfield, War of the Worlds, Redacted, Sin City, The Brown Bunny au aparut topul lor anual, ca sa dau doar exemple din ultimii 10 ani) dar ca aparat critic oamenii zbarnaie. Se vede in texetele lor pasiunea, acribia, cultura, dragostea de cinema, siguranta. Se poarta uneori ca si cum ar fi singurii critici din lume. De aceea isi mai pierd capul.

Unul dintre marile regrete ale vietii mele e ca nu stiu limba franceza (am facut engleza si germana in scoala). Si unul dintre regretele ca nu stiu limba franceza e ca nu pot sa citesc Cahiers du Cinema. Si e cam greu sa ma mai apuc dupa 30 de ani de asta.
Dar te cred. :)
"We Have a Pope" eu nu l-am vazut, stiu doar ca a fost permanent mai slab cotat decat alte filme de la Cannes de anul asta, si in topul criticilor, si la notele publicului.
M-am uitat si eu pe topurile lor din ultimii ani. Mi se pare interesant cum acel thailandez care a luat Palme d'or anul trecut, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, e plasat pe locul 1 sau 2 ca "filmul anului" in fiecare an cand face un nou film. Eu am vazut aproape toate filmele lui si dupa ce am vazut filmele lui pot sa zic ca e un cineast ce ma depseste, adica nu pricep tot ce-o vrea el sa transmita. Dar pe de alta parte am si senzatia (doar o senzatie!) ca nu e un impostor. Mi se pare interesant cum "crema cremei" criticilor, cum zici tu, il apreciaza constant si la nivel inalt, mereu pe primele locuri.

Uncle Boonmee (:| Syndromes and a century (:| I-) But hey, I'm an ignorant fool :P

Nici eu nu sunt un fan Weerasethakul dar inteleg de ce le place criticilor. Are exotismul si capacitatea de descompunere a banalitatii vietii in momente analizabile si generatoare de simboluri.

degeaba sunt 120 daca doar 20 merita cititi... e la naiba si topul asta. si criticii astia saracii de ei au cam luat-o razna in ultimii ani. putini mai apeleaza la decenta si integritate...

Nu era nevoie sa citezi tot topul ca sa-ti dai cu parerea despre el.
Si ca sa mi-o spun si eu: Cum ti-ai dat seama ca doar 20 merita cititi ? Ai masurat cu ruleta ? Nevermind. Intrebare retorica. Oricum, intre parerea celui mai "prost" dintre aia 120 si parerea ta, o iau in calcul pe a lui cand aleg sa vad un film.

Si criticii romani

Aurora inaintea Melancholiei. Eat this! :)

(Si n-am nimic cu Aurora, as baga-o in primele 10, dar inaintea Melancholiei e cam mult)

Mda, are umor Gorzo, nu gluma.
A bagat the-revenge-of-the-rising-planet-of-the-fallen-apes in detrimentul lui Drive sau The Tree of Life.
Way to go, nigga!



LE: aah, copacul vad ca nu era eligibil.
