キアロスタミ「オリーブの林をぬけて」
大画面だと良かったなー。しつこいのもキアロスタミ節としよう。映画を撮る中でラブアンドヘイトの男性女性が地震の最悪の惨状後に結婚をする役なのだが現実が演技と撮影を迷宮入りに。ラストシーンは勿論ロングショット、二人の結末は何処に？音楽が奏でる。
"Porfirio" by Alejandro Landes
This Minimalist style didn't work. Nothing-happens-till-the-end aesthetic hardly talked about the context of Porfirio's amazing injustice for it could have made the film richer and deeper in a profound way. Latin films often employ minimalism as if it's a ticket to Canne. I just didn't think Minimalism was appropriate for this film. I was at Q&A, the director was very self-conscious, well-spoken, English without accent, as if he was a westerner with a Latin appearance (Brazilian) as his film was also European inside and outside Columbian. He talked about a scene, where Porfirio goes down the hill on his wheel chair and come close to the camera glaring and turns his cowboy hat and Landes talked about this in reference to American Cowboy films. But that was what he thought but I don't think this scene worked effectively, as it was just a gesture that left the audience no clue....
At Q&A, people were so confused for they didn't know the whole Porfirio Ramírez Aldana incident including myself (just a little reading of the press release at MOMA) and Landes' story-telling really didn't help. Landes talked about Suspension of disbelief and that is what he wanted to tell story with. He is saying everything right, in a way wrong, just because you stuff a film with grade-A auteur language, you can make a masterpiece.
As much as this film was successful in festival circuit, I think much success owes to Porfirio Ramírez Aldana incident. It is mare fact of Landes having an access to use Porfirio Ramírez Aldana as Porfirio Ramírez Aldana made a lengend of this film, but not the content, story-telling and drama of film. European film school nerd using Columbian subject matter in disguise of Latin American man as a director, but inside he is just as white as Porfirio's diaper.

FILM SOCIALISME Réalisateur Jean-Luc Godard
Wikipedia®
sunairi: Godard was simply complex message of collaged vignettes in ecstatically beautiful images! Though I am not sure if I understood the movie in a way Godard was telling the story I left the theater satisfied and feeling clear!
It was not like when I saw JLG by JLG feeling confused and bitter. This time I could follow his resentment in his view of the world that is beautiful at the same time something terribly wrong.
I enjoyed the great sound experimentation, visually stunning, complex mourning of European concept and the continents that the boat was traveling.
Plot
According to the synopsis on the film's official website,[3] the film is composed of three movements:
- The first movement, Des choses comme ça ("Such things") is set on a cruise ship, featuring multi-lingual conversations among a medley collection of passengers. Characters include an aging war criminal, a former United Nations official and a Russian detective.
- The second movement, Notre Europe ("Our Europe"), involves a pair of children, a girl and her younger brother, summoning their parents to appear before the "tribunal of their childhood", demanding serious answers on the themes of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
- The final movement, Nos humanités ("Our humanities") visits six legendary sites: Egypt, Palestine, Odessa, Hellas, Naples, and Barcelona.
The cruise ship is the Costa Serena, sailing around the Mediterranean Sea.
[edit]Production
Principal photography began in 2008, and the film was originally scheduled for a 10 January 2010 release, but an extended post-production delayed its release.[4][5] Most of the film was shot around the Mediterranean Sea.
The film is Godard's first in HD video and the 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as his first in several decades not be photographed with an intended aspect ratio of 4:3. Though Godard was one of the first major directors to shoot and edit on video, and has incorporated video footage and editing into most of his work since the mid-1970s, this is the first theatrical release from him to be shot entirely in a digital format. As with many of his films, Godard's partner Anne-Marie Miéville worked on the film, other people credited as collaborators being Fabrice Aragno and Louma Sanbar, who also have worked with Godard before.
