Val (2021)
The art of respecting and embracing the pain of impermanence
I loved watching this documentary. Val is not just an actor, he is a true artist. Every second of his life seems to be laced with creativity.
The documentary is not so much a look behind movie scenes but an overview of his struggles, ambitions, passion and above his love for work and people.
The documentary touched me greatly because of its sincerity. The pain that comes with every life, no matter how beautiful it is. How Val respects and embraces the pain of impermanence. I admire Val greatly. Of course for him as an actor but above all for his spirit.
Thanks Val! Hopefully we get to see or hear a lot more from you, in whatever form!
The Cure (2020)
Action directors showcase
Nothing more than a showcase for director and editor. Don't expect anything else. You are in the middle of the action.
Tenet (2020)
I used inversion to fully understand this amazing movie
This is where movies are all about! A realy distinctive storyline, beautiful cinematography and a sublime cast. God knows I love Christopher Nolan!
Personally I think a movie is good when you still talk about it days after. I went with my teenage daughter of 17 and last days we are both surfing the net looking for explanations, conspiracies and making off's. The concept of this movie realy keeps us having interesting discussions at the diner table.
To be honest, the first part of the movie was action packed but we didn't understand it at all. The volume in the IMAX theatre was extremely loud (or overwhelming) and sometimes even too much. I think some criticasters will have the same comments on this movie as on Interstellar. However, at the spectacular scene on the high way, my daughter and I looked at each other because we both had an aha-erlebnis.
Okay, the uniqueness of the storyline isn't easy to comprehend for all. Please beware of the fact that ratings under 9 are given by people who don't truly understand the concept of non-linear thinking. I am possitive that having people watch the movie the second time, parts will fall into places.
So be sure to give it a try...and a second..and visa versa.
nb. Reading this review backwards will give you an extra clue ;-)
