Fin de cinéma: Best of 2014: Honorable Mention, Nymphomaniac (Lars von Trier)
http://reassurance.blogspot.com/2014/12/best-of-2014-honorable-mention.html
Best of 2014: Honorable Mention, Nymphomaniac (Lars von Trier). Lars von Trier. Denmark/Germany/France/Belgium. Or not, I don't really have an answer. I find my own experience with Nymphomaniac. What I will say critically, however, is that Nymphomaniac. To be specific) contains both the single greatest performance and the single greatest scene in any film this past year. I can assure you that Uma made the experience totally worthwhile. Location: Chicago, IL, USA. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Maels...

http://reassurance.blogspot.com/2014/01/best-of-2013-5-spring-breakers.html
Best of 2013: #5. Spring Breakers (Harmony Korine). D Harmony Korine. USA. Unmoved and unamused by director Harmony Korine’s previous efforts, I found myself taken by massive surprise with Spring Breakers. More than any other film in recent memory, Spring Breakers. Is a thrillingly sleazy, bizarre, and amoral love letter to the penis of America, Florida. Is currently available on Blu-ray and DVD from Lionsgate. In the U.S., and from Universal. In the U.K., and from TF1 Vidéo. Labels: Best of 2013. Fay Gr...

Fin de cinéma: Best of 2014: Cinema
http://reassurance.blogspot.com/2014/12/best-of-2014-cinema.html
Best of 2014: Cinema. Comedy Central's Broad City. And Amazon Prime's Transparent. All stood taller than any of the new films I saw this past year—a claim my snobby, cinema purist 21-year-old self would scoffed at if he heard me say it. This year, I noticed critics and audiences grabbing hold of a bunch of films whose flaws (or lack of charisma) tended to outweigh the strengths. From impressive feats like Boyhood. To above-average sci-fi actioners like Snowpiercer. Did— Stranger by the Lake. The Worst of...

Best of 2014: #3. Ida (Paweł Pawlikowski). Paweł Pawlikowski. Poland/Denmark/France/UK. As many of you know, I have a Tumblr extension of this blog. Has Shot after shot in crisp blacks and whites with meticulous composition, Ida. Has to be one of the most exquisitely shot films I've ever seen. If you've seen Paweł Pawlikowski's My Summer of Love. S co-cinematographer Ryszard Lenczewski also lensed), this probably won't come as a surprise. Replacing My Summer of Love. S sunkissed rural England with Ida.

Fin de cinéma: Best of 2014: #5. Misunderstood (Asia Argento)
http://reassurance.blogspot.com/2014/12/best-of-2014-5-misunderstood.html
Best of 2014: #5. Misunderstood (Asia Argento). Asia Argento. Italy/France. In her third outing as director, Asia Argento physically takes herself out of frame (after assuming the lead roles in both Scarlet Diva. And The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things. For her most personal film to date. In many ways beyond the fact that Argento starred in Catherine Breillat's The Last Mistress. Pairs rather well with Abuse of Weakness. Than this). In Misunderstood. Is Argento's ability to capture the spirit of yout...

Winner of the Golden Bear at last year's Berlinale and starring the grand dame of Romanian cinema Luminița Gheorghiu who has appeared in some of the greatest hits of the country's "new wave" of the past decade ( Death of Mr. Lazarescu. 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days. Culminating in a moving and upsetting climax, Child's Pose. Is a scathing satire of wealth and privilege. It wasn't until I went back and rewatched the film...

Fin de cinéma: Best of 2014: #4. Xenia (Panos H. Koutras)

Best of 2014: #4. Xenia (Panos H. Koutras). Panos H. Koutras. Greece/France/Belgium. There are a lot of films out there that are hard to sell others on. The most common type of film that I have difficulty conveying my enthusiasm for is the kind that sounds terrible on paper despite the fact that it flourishes on the vision and/or skill of its director. Andrea Arnold's brilliant Fish Tank. Falls into the same category, but if Fish Tank. Sounds like a clichéd underdog tale, Xenia. Transforms into something...
