The only review I can come up with for this brilliant film is: “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
Brazil always pleasantly surprises me. This film was incredible. I usually dislike films where kids are heroes because they come off as slightly unrealistic/childish, but this was excellent.
Amusingly, after watching this, the poster actually made sense. I didn’t really know anything about this and I’m glad I didn’t. This film is about unusual fetishes & sex fantasies, but at the same time, it’s about opening up to that significant other about it.
They’re all displayed as different mini-stories but the one I screen captured below is my personal favorite. It’s about a man who is deaf & mute, but wants to experience phone sex. Don’t want to give too much away, but it was a good film.
You don’t know this yet, but your soul needs this. Trust me.
Film Stills + OST > Plot. An Iranian, black & white, vampire western?
Every scene is brilliant enough to be a standalone short film. There’s a really promising graphic novel that I need to check out ASAP.
The after affect of a sad poem.
I was pleasantly surprised the music didn’t annoy me, effortlessly linking Woolf’s novel to the other two timelines. Heartbreaking & perfect.
Here’s the thing about most of the Iranian film I’ve watched, they’re all real. They’ll make you want to jump through the screen & hug these actors/actresses into a state of ok-ness.
Not to mention the beautiful (natural) colors in almost all the frames.. This was a joy to watch and the kids were brilliant.
This film wasn’t scary, if anything it was actually humerous in its odd way. What I really appreciated was the art & twisted ideas they were trying to pull-off but ended up with beautiful video-collaging.
Mini-review: Art goals
This film was insane(ly good).
