Do Começo ao Fim (2009)
Brothers have eyes only for each other.
I enjoyed watching the first two-thirds of this movie, but my interest waned when when a key figure left the scene, denying an obligatory conflict, discussion, or resolution. Also, as the movie progressed, one of the leading men spent too much time smiling while the other wore a blank expression. The movie is about incest, but it ultimately didn't have much to say about the topic. It is dreamy, but not convincing.
Vier Fenster (2006)
A father, a mother, a son, and a daughter behaving badly.
I'm rating this movie 8 because it completely diverted me one afternoon while I was recovering from entertaining a visitor for three days. The movie depicts a middle-class German family in which each member thirsts for sexual adventure. It is slow moving, but what happens next is never predictable. Some of the fun is in the little details: the way the father and daughter show their anti-social inclinations by littering, the way the mother scratches a bit of something-or-other off a wall--the way she does a solo dance. All the actors are attractive and pleasing to look at. If you want a sweeping story, this isn't it. If you like observing people, you will like this movie. The one big weakness is that there is no big payoff at the end. The movie just sort of stopped, and I wished it hadn't.
