Undine is a water spirit, making covenants with men on land in order to access a human soul as well as a tasteful professional wardrobe. Breaking that covenant is fatal. Or so the story goes. He too is bound to the evolving bones of Germany, repairing bridges and various underwater infrastructure—he may, in fact, be more intuitively connected to the country than most.
In Undine , Petzold captures this tension with warmth and immediacy. Many, many lives have brought us here, but none are more important than these two, and no time more consequential than now. My god, how romantic. In fact, as they sit in his well-appointed London flat together, he gives her the business, expressing his opinion of her life plans with his canines bared. Similar to how the characters are there to serve Anthony, the supporting cast is there to serve Hopkins.
The stage belongs to him. What he does with it is something special, an unmissable performance from an actor with a filmography loaded with them. Year: Director: Jon M. In , director Jon M. Chu imbued the standard rom-com plot of his Crazy Rich Asians adaptation with classical Hollywood decadence, hanging it all on a framework of well-constructed cultural specificity.
It was big, spectacular and embarrassingly novel for an American movie of its kind. In the Heights is great, and its greatness is amplified by the joy that it will inspire in theaters full of people for years to come.
Underneath all the best Jewish punchlines lies a weary acknowledgement of inevitable suffering; the Coen Brothers knew this in crafting A Serious Man , their riotous retelling of the Book of Job, and Seligman knows it in Shiva Baby. That the climax involves shattered glass, helpless tears and a few humiliations more marks this as one of the most confidently, winningly Jewish comedies in years.
A classic Christopher Nolan puzzle box, at first glance Tenet is a lot like Inception. The central conceit that powers it is both cerebral and requires copious on-screen exposition.
None of this rests on Washington. Past Nolan protagonists like McConaughey Interstellar , Pearce Memento and DiCaprio Inception not only had actual names, they had relatable motives and discernible emotional arcs. So you grab your fellow disciples, put on your knee brace, pack a jar of IcyHot and a few Ibuprofen, and you put your nose to the ground looking for clues and for the culprit, even as your soft, sapped muscles cry out for a breather. The realness Tran weaves into his story is welcome, but the smart filmmaking is what makes The Paper Tigers a delight from start to finish.
Sorrow hangs around the edges of his eyes as surely as bliss spreads across his face with each occasion for drinking. That balancing act culminates in an explosive burst of anger and, ultimately, mourning. Good times are had and good times always end. Without a pause we lose perspective on all else life has to offer, especially self-reflection.
The Sparks Brothers is a thorough and charming assessment and appreciation of an idiosyncratic band, and the highest praise you could give it is that it shares a sensibility with its inimitable musicians.
Not an easy task when it comes to Ron and Russell Mael. One made a trilogy of parodies that stands atop its individual genres zombie, cop, sci-fi movies. Director Corneliu Porumboiu is no stranger to procedures or regulations, nor insensitive to the ways in which the strictures we impose on ourselves and others end up wrapping us up from within.
His previous film, the documentary Infinite Football , allows his friend Laurentiu Ginghina time and cinematic space to explain the many modifications and new rules to enact in order to, he believes, completely revitalize the sport of football—all while exorcising the trauma of post-Communist Romania.
In it, laconic, mild-mannered cop Cristi Vlad Ivanov navigates an elaborate schema of criminal enterprise and double-crossing police to walk away with a life-changing amount of stolen drug money.
They are defined by it. We understand who these people are through the ways in which they struggle to escape the system. For the first time in his adult life, maybe in all his life, Nordland feels seen. Young love is beautiful. Young love is painful. Young love is a first step toward dancing on a grave in the middle of the night. So it goes. Alexis is on the lookout for fun and enjoyment as summer wraps the Normandy coast in its balmy embrace. Might as well have a good time.
Things look bleak. Then, a knight in shining armor arrives to his aid, though in fairness his armor is an unbuttoned shirt and swim trunks: David Benjamin Voisin , young like Alexis but not quite as young, and inarguably a better sailor. Alexis is rescued. They pal around a bit, trade thoughts on life as one expects French youths to—meaning lots of juvenile philosophizing—and then they fall in love. Or at least Alexis does.
Similar to Call Me by Your Name , Summer of 85 suggests that the heartbreak of first love is an unavoidable step through teenhood. The hurt erases neither our feelings for or our memories of those shimmering, golden days of infatuation.
In fact the hurt throws those positive sensations into sharp relief and lets us appreciate them more. But Summer of 85 understands the risks of giving your love to another, and plays those risks to a shocking and inevitable conclusion. I keep thinking about the suitcase: Skylar Talia Ryder packs sweaters and a pair of jeans into an oversized travel bag oversized, at least, for what is supposed to be a day-long trip. When they get to Manhattan, the cousins take turns carrying the large bag, guarding it, rolling it on the sidewalk, lugging it up and down steep subway stairs.
The pair has carefully planned a trip to New York so that Autumn can get an abortion without her mom Sharon Van Etten and stepdad Ryan Eggold knowing, since Pennsylvania requires parental consent for the procedure. Alexia Agathe Rousselle had an early connection with cars. The accident rendered her father mostly unscathed, and Alexia with a titanium plate implanted in her skull.
Perhaps, it is because he knew what Alexia would become; perhaps, Alexia was just born bad. Bones break, skin rips, libidos throb—the human body is pushed to impossible limits. Titane is a convoluted, gender-bending odyssey splattered with gore and motor oil, the heart of which rests on a simple if exceedingly perverted story of finding unconditional acceptance. Eighteen years following the childhood incident, Alexia is a dancer and car model, venerated by ravenous male fans aching to get a picture and an autograph with the punky, sharp-featured young woman.
And despite her cruelty, and the relative distance from and lack of insight into her character, Alexia remains an empathetic protagonist. Titane is not just bloody minutes of bodily mutilation and perversion, but of blazing chaos inherent in our human need for acceptance. Ducournau has wrapped up this simple conceit in a narrative that only serves to establish her voice as one which demands our attention, even as we feel compelled to look away.
