Louis Wain’s Electric Life
Benedict Cumberbatch is an astute choice to play prolific cat painter Louis Wain in this wonderfully unbalanced period biopic. Director Will Sharpe takes a witty and playful take on Wain’s eccentric life as a 19th-century artist known primarily for his anthropomorphized feline themes. But this is also a tender story about mental health that is portrayed imaginatively and empathically. ..
Benedict Cumberbatch delivers a vibrant performance as Wain, an illustrator for the Illustrated London News who finds himself in charge of a noisy but penniless household of five sisters and a mother after the death of his own father. With skill with a pencil, Wain lands himself a full-time job and helps to support his family with his illustrations. ..
Annette
Annette is known for her beautiful, tender love song “We Love Each Other So Much” which she sings to Marion Cotillard’s foo-foo. This happens twice, but it is still one of the weirdest moments in Leos Carax’s madness. The ghost heart opera at the top is definitely not worth it. ..
While referring to the ill-fated romanticism of early works like Boy Meets Girl and Les Amants Du Pont-Neuf – some filmmakers have embraced the pain of lost love as a theme as exaggeratedly as Carax – Annette is truly a film about what true love can be. undone by unbridled selfishness. The effects of Henry’s self-absorption, both as fuel for his art and as an Achilles heel in his relationships, are profound.
no remorse
This movie is a mess. It’s confusing, it’s dull, and it’s not even that good of a movie.
coming 2 america
In recent years, Hollywood has been criticized for churning out sequels and remakes of classic movies in an effort to capitalize on nostalgia. This trend has been particularly noticeable in the superhero genre, where many films are based on older comic books and cartoons. Coming to America seems to be criticizing itself for existing in this market, as the scene suggests that Hollywood is only interested in making money off of old fans. ..
Coming 2 America is a forgettable film with weak characters and a predictable script. However, the performances make up for it. Eddie Murphy is great in this film.
Metal sound
Darius Marder’s excellent Sound of Metal captures the fragility of everyday existence with empathy and compassion. Her work here is a model of restraint, a performance that always goes for effective and discreet choices rather than emotional broads. This film should catapult Riz Ahmed to the top of any producer’s casting list.
The Night of stars Ruben, a heavy metal drummer who accompanies his girlfriend and singer Lou. Marder and his co-writer/brother Abraham (the screenplay also has a story credit for Derek Cianfrance, who worked with Marder on “The Place Beyond the Pines”) waste no time getting to the heart of their story. The film follows Ruben as he accompanies Lou on her latest tour, which is quickly becoming a turning point in their relationship. As they travel to different cities, Ruben finds himself falling for Lou more and more each time he sees her. However, he’s hesitant to let go of his music career in order to be with her.
Love and friendship
But love and friendship are not inevitable. They can be created, and they can be destroyed. In “Love & Friendship,” Whit Stillman takes us on a journey of love and friendship that is both beautiful and heartbreaking.
Stillman’s comedy is on the right edge, pushing it to the point of absurdity. He knows how to position characters in the frame so that you can see their faces while someone else says or does something so stupid they can’t believe it, or that’s so obviously with the intention to deceive that they seem to be wondering if this is really happening or if it is a dream.
Subsequent Borat film film
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation, Part II is a biting satire and brutal social commentary that gives the middle finger to political correctness while making a strong case against misogyny and patriarchy. The story follows Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen), a TV reporter from Kazakhstan who is sent to America to bribe powerful men in order to win favors in return. Problems arise when his teenage daughter (the fantastic Maria Bakalova) smuggles into the United States to be with her father. ..
Maria Bakalova is as uninhibited and fantastical as Sacha. As the emotional angle between father and daughter takes center stage, the film loses steam and becomes generic. However, he does provide enough and more awkward laughs that also make him introspective. Ridiculous and brainless, but insightful and hilarious… this isn’t a perfect movie, but it’s boldly different and edgy.
the great sick
The Big Sick is inspired by the real-life story of Kumail Nanjiani and his American wife Emily Gordon. Emily wrote this film, and the two main characters, a Pakistani-American and an American, are named Kumail and Emily. But even if East and West seem further apart than ever, real life has rarely been so bland. Interestingly yes, pleasantly definitely, but bland.
The writing in this story is sharp and well-done, indicating why it was a story that needed to be told. Kumail and Emily’s courtship is handled easily without any clichés, which makes the story more interesting.
knives
The film is a mystery, suspense, and entertainment package with a twist at the end.
The house itself looks like a trap, which works like a narrative puzzle in which the pieces keep changing as the walls get closer. The overall sense of confinement is perfect for the purposes of a private investigator, Benoit Blanc, roast ham played by Daniel Craig with a lofty self-esteem and a Southern drawl that seems to borrow from Kevin Spacey.
