<description><![CDATA[Bai, deci m-a dezamagit Vinyan. L-am asteptat atita, avea un sinopsis foarte atragator &#8211; facut]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.ecranlarge.com/movie_video-view-9604-2247.php" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-510" title="vinyan" src="http://ambrablu.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/vinyan.jpg?w=352&#038;h=468" alt="vinyan" width="352" height="468" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bai, deci m-a dezamagit Vinyan. L-am asteptat atita, avea un sinopsis foarte atragator &#8211; facut de un belgian care stie cum sta treaba cu flesh -peddlers si batoanele de ciocolata, locatie cu vino-ncoa&#8217; (sincer, pun botul la orice film cu jungle si plaje, ca o fi The Beach, Lord of the Flies, Rescue Dawn sau Apocalypse Now, dar Redux), un actor bun catre foarte bun &#8211; Rufus Sewell &#8211; plus o pereche de tite din partea lui Emmanuelle Beart.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Acum, nu ca filmul ar fi prost, dar nu s-a ridicat la inaltimea asteptarilor. Pacat, incepuse bine, cuplul se dezintegra calm dar sigur, cam ca in Open Water, asa, desi, admit, mai pe repede inainte, sarind din arc narativ in arc narativ, ca sa nu observam burtile din saltea. In fine, cinematografia lush, cum se zice in engleza, verde frumos, cinspe mii de texturi, apoi rosu si alb negru, masini de fum in ochi, sound design apasat (cu un minus pt score) dar crafty, imagini suficient de bizare care te trimit cu gindu&#8217; la ritualurile de initiere  si mortificare din Oceania si Australia, povestite de Mircea chiar el iade; si tot asa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dar nu e nici atit de bizar cum il prezenta trailerul, nici atit de horror, nici dus bine pina la capat. E ca un film care se tot pregateste sa inceapa (imi place ritmul asta in filme, dar astept si pay off pe masura), si se termina brusc. Macar, la final, sa ii fi luat Beart la sini pe toti copiii pe care i-a gasit pe insula aia si sa-i alapteze nitel.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Click pe poza pentru trailer &#8211; asta daca n-ati vazut deja filmul.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Si, sa nu uit, de miine incep sa recenzez  grozaviile din After Dark Horrorfest III.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Drag Me To Hell Not one prone to hype, in fact it has the opposite effect, I am ready for Sam Raimi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Drag Me To Hell</strong></p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/OMw4erHfY94?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p><strong>Not one prone to hype, in fact it has the opposite effect, I am ready for Sam Raimi to dash my hopes. The return of true horror? That&#8217;s a tall order. But this trailer does several things right. First it lets the movie speak for itself without those annoying voiceovers to explain everything. The intercut title cards, while very full of themselves, do not do that annoying thing they can do (more on that later). Then there is that chorus heavy orchestral music which I know sounds so melodramatic but feels so right. ( I&#8217;ll save you all from my horror movie soundtrack rant.) It makes me able to deal with the gypsy curse angle and the obligatory seance sequence. As long there are no inbred cannibal rednecks or victimized college kids, I willing to consider it something different. Fingers crossed, though I should know better.  Won&#8217;t play my town because it has Hell in the title. Will it  be listed on the marquee as simply &#8216;Drag Me&#8217; ? Scheduled for a May release.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Vinyan</strong></p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/xlcuj3XVVbc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p><strong>Somebody got their &#8220;Don&#8217;t Look Now&#8221; in  my  &#8221;Heart of Darkness&#8221;! Sorry, I couldn&#8217;t help it. The mix of jungle atmospherics and grieving parents made me do it. The creepy kid angle also evokes J-horror tropes. I enjoyed, not loved, Du Welz&#8217;s first film Calvaire. Not for its originality but its darkly humorous tweaks of surrealism. This does not seem to have that, going for an even grimmer tone and a grander scope. Probably not a good sign it is going straight to DVD. Or maybe the producers are concerned that the children elements of the story will not go over in our hysterical nanny state. Anyhow it looks worth at least rental. Came out yesterday, April 7th 2009.   </strong></p>
<p><strong>Hush</strong></p>
<span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/Np079Jj71GY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span>
<p><strong>There were four films that came out in 2008 alone that had the title Hush. Not that movies having the same name bothers me. But this can&#8217;t be good for getting your little film some attention. It&#8217;s storylines is one of those road trip horror/thriller types that span all the way back to Speilberg&#8217;s Duel. And if that&#8217;s too old for you there&#8217;s that Joy Ride movie (ugh). (Not to mention Road Games or  the HBO orignal movie where Meat Loaf kidnaps one of the girls from Sex in The City!) All that ribbing aside, Mark Tonderai&#8217;s first film could be a good if not great time. The cinematography looks top notch.  They don&#8217;t seem to be reinventing the wheel however. I hope the pacing is lean and the twist is not whole show. I wish they had left all the intercut title cards without text until the second to last one which has the best tag line&#8230;Help Is Not On The Way (I know how you feel buddy). Currently on the European festival circuit. No known US release date.  </strong></p>

<p><strong>My problem with this trailer was there was not enough screaming. It should have been every shot not every other. But hey you can&#8217;t have everything. This Tasmanian cannibal redneck fest at least kept the expository text bits to a minimum. I am not sure where a rare tiger fits in but that&#8217;s a good thing because I think I see how everything else does. I like the look of the natural locations and the ambient music used throughout. This is part of Lionsgate&#8217;s Horrorfest 2009 DVD line-up. I think I will make it a yearly tradition to pick two or three of the eight horrorfest selections and watch them. Just in hopes I will find something that is better than simply average. I am gonna check this out but I&#8217;m not expecting much. Out now on DVD!</strong></p>

<p><strong>Why oh why am I giving this film a chance? Is it the western setting? Is it the cooly dark and gritty cinematography? (In a 21st century sense, of course. The 70s were the decade of dirt and darkness! ) The dumbest line in the trailer? &#8220;Those weren&#8217;t Indians.&#8221; Hey, thanks for thinking I am idiot! Please oh please don&#8217;t suck! Oh I got bad feelings about this. That is what I told myself as I added it to my Netflix.  Played Austin&#8217;s Fantastic Fest in September 2008.  Straight to DVD April 21st 2009.</strong></p>

<p><strong>What I like about this  trailer is I have no idea what the hell the movie is about. I&#8217;ve seen the original trailer over at Twitch earlier and it stuck with me. This one is clearly meant for the US release because it has more blood than the original trailer. Even the inter-titles can&#8217;t ruin it. Will be passed over by most because it looks cerebral. I mean what the hell? Horror is supposed to be stupid and cliche! Can you smell the sarcasm? Played Austin&#8217;s Fantastic Fest , September 2008. No details about release, DVD or theatrical, known.</strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[Vinyan Having seen Vinyan getting rave reviews and full page spreads in Fangoria, I was quite eager]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 179px"><img src="http://www.filmas.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/vinyan.jpg" alt="Vinyan" width="169" height="222" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Vinyan</p></div>
<p>Having seen <em><strong>Vinyan</strong></em> getting rave reviews and full page spreads in <em>Fangoria</em>, I was quite eager to see it. It has even been billed as being the first of a new wave in &#8216;extreme cinema&#8217;.</p>
<p>A couple who lost their kid in a Tsunami think they see him in a video showing orphaned kids in Burma. The wife goes loopy and demands they travel to Burma looking for their son, this they do, spending a fortune on &#8216;guides&#8217; who continually rip them off asking for more money.</p>
<p>What happens next? I&#8217;ve no idea. It took the film makers approximately 45mins to tell me, visually, what I&#8217;ve told you in two sentences. Thus, I gave up after the half way mark.</p>
<p>I could see the point of the initial 15-20mins where the couple see the video and she starts planning a vacation to <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">hell on earth</span> Burma, but was it really necessary to spend another 20mins seeing the couple going from place to place getting ripped off? Not in my opinion. The actors did a good job, solid acting, but the pacing is God awful.</p>
<p>I have a self made rule it&#8217;s called &#8216;the 30 minute rule&#8217;. That&#8217;s how long a film has to impress me. If, after about 25mins it shows promise, I&#8217;ll give it to the 40min mark. I broke my own rules to give <em>Vinyan</em> a chance, I should have killed it at the 30min mark. In my opinion <em>Vinyan</em> is the first in a new wave of extreme boredom cinema.</p>
<p>You know the old saying:<em> if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is</em>. And <em>Vinyan</em> is no exception.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1109 alignleft" style="margin-left:10px;margin-right:10px;" title="flyer-1" src="http://passage44.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/flyer-1.jpg?w=312&#038;h=410" alt="flyer-1" width="312" height="410" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Sang frais &#8211; nouveaux visages du film d&#8217;horreur dans le cinéma contemporain</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La présence du BIFFF (Festival International du Film Fantastique) à Bruxelles témoigne chaque année du renouveau d&#8217;un genre souvent décrié mais source d&#8217;une insoupçonnable créativité artistique : le film d&#8217;horreur. Véritable miroir de nos sociétés, ce dernier s&#8217;articule sur des angoisses universelles mais reflète également des peurs plus spécifiques ancrées dans chaque temporalité, lui permettant d&#8217;être sans cesse renouvelé, transformé, revisité malgré les &#8216;formules&#8217; imposées du genre.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Après quelques années de suprématie du cinéma asiatique, le cinéma d&#8217;horreur revient, de façon étonnante, au premier plan de la production cinématographique européenne.  Retravaillant les codes et l&#8217;esthétique du genre, dépassant à la fois les poncifs du cinéma hollywoodien et les obsessions technologiques de l&#8217;horreur asiatique, ces nouvelles perspectives font preuve d&#8217;une indéniable esthétique du sang, mais aussi d&#8217;un nouveau rapport au spectateur. Ce dernier vit, au travers de ces productions, la peur comme une véritable expérience synesthétique, physique, tactile. De <em>Haute Tension </em>du français Alexandre Aja (2003) à l&#8217;espagnol <em>Rec</em> (Jaume Balaguero &#38; Paco Plaza, 2007), de <em>Nightwatch</em> (Ole Bornedal, Danemark, 1994) à <em>The Descent</em> (Neil Marschall, UK, 2005), en passant par <em>Vinyan </em>(Fabrice Du Welz, 2008), les exemples ne manquent pas ; ces films européens témoignent de frontières toujours repoussées tant au niveau de la représentation (avec un fréquent basculement dans le gore) que du contenu, s&#8217;engageant même, parfois, sur des terrains métaphoriques.</p>

<p>5 de horror para no dormir del 2008 [sin lugar en la lista principal]</p>
<p><!--more--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/hardkoreth/2009/vinyan.jpg" alt="kid a" title="kid a" width="50" height="55" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2404" />1. <em>Vinyan </em>[Dir. <strong>Fabrice Du Welz</strong>].- En un perverso cóctel de influencias, sazonado con ¿Quién Puede Matar a un Niño? y Cannibal Holocaust. Si no has visto ninguna de éstas, quizá Vinyan no es para ti.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/hardkoreth/2009/frontieres.jpg" alt="girl of ipanema" title="girl of ipanema" width="50" height="55" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2404" />2. <em>Frontière(s)</em> [Dir. <strong>Xavier Gens</strong>].- Esta es otra curva que no te esperas. Llega el momento, dentro de esta cinta, donde te cuestionas sobre lo que estás viendo. Los hillbillies gabachos son perversos, pero en Francia no se quedan atrás. En una pena lo de Xavier en su primera incursión en USA.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/hardkoreth/2009/drinfierno.jpg" alt="i ran (so far away)" title="i ran (so far away)" width="50" height="55" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2404" />3. <em>Doctor Infierno</em>. [Dir. <strong>Paco Limón</strong>].- A esta concédele especial atención. Se trata de un film inusual, demente y completamente salido de una pesadilla. ¡Y en español! Charlé en corto con Paco Limón en facebook, y le comenté sobre la influencia de Shinya Tsukamoto. Paco me contestó: &#8220;todos queremos ser Tsukamoto&#8221;. El señor Limón tiene está en lo cierto.</p>
<p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/hardkoreth/2009/tokyo_gore_police_ps401.jpg" alt="bleed the freak" title="bleed the freak" width="50" height="55" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2404" />4. <em>Tôkyô zankoku keisatsu </em>[<em>Tokyo Gore Police</em>] [Dir. <strong>Yoshihiro Nishimura</strong>].- Ni siquiera tengo palabras para describirla. Cada escenario es más escandaloso y violento que el anterior, pero si debo ser honesto, lo que me sentó en la sala fue la presencia de Eihi Shiina. </p>
<p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/hardkoreth/2009/surveiilance.jpg" alt="the man that you fear" title="the man that you fear" width="50" height="55" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2404" />5. <em>Surveillance </em>[<strong>Jennifer Chambers Lynch</strong>].- A <strong>Jennifer </strong>no le tiembla la mano cuando hay que recurrir a la violencia. <strong>Julia Ormond </strong>y <strong>Bill Pullman </strong>están de lujo. La tensión es una bomba que no sabes en qué momento detonará. Este es su segundo largo y ahora se encuentra filmando en Bollywood su siguiente proyecto. <em>Curry</em>!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Se laisser emporter par les images, s&#8217;abandonner aux sons, s&#8217;envelopper dans les ambiances, laisser la pluie et la sueur se coller à la peau&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><em><img class="aligncenter" title="vinyan " src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc331/sunalee/vinyan_2008_8.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Vinyan</em> de Fabrice Du Welz</strong></p>
<p>Un film beaucoup critiqué par des journalistes qui n&#8217;ont peut-être pas tout compris. D&#8217;abord, c&#8217;est une coproduction belgo-française, d&#8217;un réalisateur belge, avec des producteurs belges et une équipe belgo-française ! Et non un film français ! D&#8217;ailleurs si les critiques avaient compris ça, ils n&#8217;auraient peut-être pas autant détruit le film&#8230; comme le disait Fabrice Du Welz lui-même dans une interview pour Arte, les Français auraient fait un film avec la première demi-heure de l&#8217;histoire: le couple Bellmer va-t-il ou non partir à la recherche de leur fils. Et puis, le cinéma fantastique, ce n&#8217;est pas très français, c&#8217;est mal vu, ce n&#8217;est pas assez sérieux.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="vinyan" src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc331/sunalee/113_1083_31.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="169" />L&#8217;histoire, juste le début: Jeanne et Paul Bellmer ont perdu leur fils lors du tsunami en Thaïlande. Suite à une image très floue sur une vidéo, Jeanne pense reconnaître Joshua et part à sa recherche, avec son mari et avec l&#8217;aide de la pègre locale. Cette quête devient une longue descente en enfers, se situant quelque part entre <a href="http://www.lamediatheque.be/med/rech_n.php?ser=&#38;intervenant=&#38;titre=apocalypse+n&#38;morceau=&#38;descripteur=&#38;label=&#38;ref=&#38;supa[7]=1" target="_blank"><em>Apocalypse Now</em></a> (deuxième partie) et <a href="http://www.lamediatheque.be/med/rech_n.php?ser=&#38;intervenant=&#38;titre=tropical+malady&#38;morceau=&#38;descripteur=&#38;label=&#38;ref=&#38;supa[7]=1" target="_blank"><em>Tropical Malady</em></a> (deuxième partie aussi). L&#8217;enfant aurait été enlevé par les &#8220;Sea Gypsies&#8221; ou <a href="http://www.lamediatheque.be/med/rech_n.php?ser=&#38;intervenant=&#38;titre=moken+sea+gypsies&#38;morceau=&#38;descripteur=&#38;label=&#38;ref=&#38;supa[1]=1" target="_blank">Moken</a>, des nomades de la mer d&#8217;Andaman, entre la Thaïlande et la Birmanie. Autant Paul tente de rester dans la réalité, ne croit pas à ces images mais entame le voyage par amour pour sa femme, autant Jeanne y croit dur comme fer et tombe petit à petit dans la folie.</p>
<p>Dans la folie ? ou devient-elle aussi un vinyan comme ces enfants qu&#8217;on voit dans la deuxième partie du film. Le vinyan, c&#8217;est une âme errante, quelqu&#8217;un qui est mort mais qui n&#8217;a pas encore trouvé le repos, quelque chose de typiquement est-asiatique que l&#8217;on retrouve aussi dans le documentaire de <a href="http://bruxellesbangkokbrasilia.wordpress.com/2008/07/10/obsession-cambodgienne-suite/" target="_blank">Rithy Panh</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="vinyan" src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc331/sunalee/vinyan_2008_7.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="300" />Thème de l&#8217;eau&#8230; il pleut à verse, souvent, la mer toujours, ou la mangrove, la sueur, l&#8217;humidité, les bulles comme cette première image qui évoque la noyade.</p>
<p>Travail sur l&#8217;image&#8230; du plus fluorescent, cru, des néons de Bangkok, des night-clubs ou sex-clubs à la musique tonitruante et aux lumières artificielles à des atmosphères de mer ou de jungle monochromes, brunes, grises, vertes mais d&#8217;un vert passé.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="vinyan" src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc331/sunalee/vinyan_2008_4.jpg" alt="" width="451" height="301" />Et puis des sons qui enveloppent, un film qui sans sound design ne serait pas le même, et les musiques composées par François-Eudes, électroniques mais très prenantes, envoûtantes, drones de guitare tournant au white noise. Et puis un clin d&#8217;oeil à la pop thaïlandaise avec <a href="http://www.lamediatheque.be/med/rech_n.php?ser=&#38;intervenant=mike+pirimporn&#38;titre=&#38;morceau=&#38;descripteur=&#38;label=&#38;ref=&#38;supa[1]=1" target="_blank">Mike Pirimporn</a>.</p>
<p>Beaucoup de références cinématographiques, certains plans étant des copies d&#8217;autres films, le cinéma des années 70, <a href="http://www.lamediatheque.be/med/rech_n.php?ser=&#38;intervenant=&#38;titre=apocalypse+n&#38;morceau=&#38;descripteur=&#38;label=&#38;ref=&#38;supa[7]=1" target="_blank"><em>Apocalypse Now</em></a> de Francis Ford Coppola, <a href="http://www.lamediatheque.be/med/rech_n.php?ser=&#38;intervenant=&#38;titre=don%27t+look+now&#38;morceau=&#38;descripteur=&#38;label=&#38;ref=&#38;supa[7]=1" target="_blank"><em>Don&#8217;t look now</em></a> de Nicholas Roeg, <em><a href="http://www.lamediatheque.be/med/rech_n.php?ser=&#38;intervenant=&#38;titre=cannibal+holocaust&#38;morceau=&#38;descripteur=&#38;label=&#38;ref=&#38;supa[7]=1" target="_blank">Cannibal Holocaust</a> </em>de Ruggero Deodato, <a href="http://www.lamediatheque.be/med/rech_n.php?ser=&#38;intervenant=&#38;titre=revoltes+de+l%27an+2000&#38;morceau=&#38;descripteur=&#38;label=&#38;ref=&#38;supa[7]=1" target="_blank"><em>Les révoltés de l&#8217;an 2000</em></a> de Narciso Ibanez Serrador.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="vinyan" src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc331/sunalee/116_1094_12.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="168" />Une scène assez incroyable au point de vue technique: le plan séquence dans les ruines, tourné en une seule prise et qui a demandé bien des acrobaties au caméraman (voir la deuxième partie du making of sur le blog de Fabrice Du Welz)</p>
<p>Le film a ses défauts, quelques longueurs, mais c&#8217;est une production si différente de ce qui se fait habituellement dans nos contrées que je voulais surtout en dire du bien. C&#8217;est une question de se laisser prendre, de se laisser immerger dès le début, sinon il est clair qu&#8217;on peut passer à 10.000 lieues de ce film.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img src="http://a69.g.akamai.net/n/69/10688/v1/img5.allocine.fr/acmedia/rsz/434/x/x/x/medias/nmedia/18/65/26/55/18842100.jpg" alt="Rufus Sewell et Emmanuelle Béart dans Vinyan" width="200" height="134" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Rufus Sewell et Emmanuelle Béart dans Vinyan</p></div>
<p><span class="postbody">Parce qu&#8217;il n&#8217;y a pas que des bons films actuellement au cinéma (loin de là), le billet du jour concerne une belle daube. Pas même un nanar, juste un film prétentieux et raté. Ça commençait pourtant plutôt bien. J&#8217;arrivais même à passer outre la réalisation de Du Welz -qui pense faire de l&#8217;expérimental en filmant des bulles d&#8217;eau et en mettant le son à fond-, ou le jeu d&#8217;Emmanuelle Béart. J&#8217;ai eu beau m&#8217;agripper à tout ce que je pouvais (le décor, notamment) mais plus le film avançait, plus la mise en scène écrasait toutes les maigres bonnes idées du film pour se conclure dans un final grotesque.</span></p>
<p><span class="postbody">Avec son style à la Gaspard Noé (la maîtrise en moins), le réalisateur ne tient finalement jamais correctement son récit. Aucun rythme, juste une succession de plans mis bout à bout qui ne forment rien. Et dès que le film entame sa phase fantastico-horrifique, c&#8217;est cauchemardesque. Du Welz a beau vouloir noyer le tout dans un délire qui mêle rêve et réalité -et dont on finit par se foutre royalement-, ça ne prend jamais.</span></p>
<p><span class="postbody">Fabrice Du Welz a semble-t-il vu trop gros, mélangeant les genres (la référence à <em>Apocalypse Now</em>, ridicule) sans parvenir à les connecter. <em>Vinyan</em> aurait sans doute gagné à plus de modestie et à moins d&#8217;éparpillements&#8230;</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Illetve csak ijesztgetni próbálnak, kevés sikerrel. A fesztivál legnagyobb csalódása ez, pedig nagyon-nagyon vártam az <a href="http://www.ecranlarge.com/movie_video-view-9604-2247.php" target="_blank">előzetes</a> alapján, és a vetítés alatt bizonyisten próbáltam megkedvelni, de egyszerűen nem ment. Azt hittem, hogy egy fasza kis hardcore horror lesz, erre egy baromi unalmas és vontatott zagyvalékot kapunk összecsapott szkripttel és gyakorlatilag zéróra redukált ijesztgetéssel (némi túlzással annyi benne a feszültség mint mackósajtban a brummogás). Igénytelen, szar, horrornak álcázott drámakezdemény ez, melynek se füle, se farka. Nem is értem, mi volt ebben a horror: no para, no blood, no suspense &#8211; csak ásítás és alukálás a kellemesen puha székben.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;" align="justify"><img class="size-full wp-image-2758 aligncenter" title="Vinyan" src="http://filmhirek.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/vinyan_01.jpg" alt="" height="315" /></p>
<p align="justify">Paul (Rufus Sewell) és Jeanne Bellmer (Emmanuelle Béart) hat hónappal ezelőtt vesztette el kisfiát a délkelet-ázsiai térséget sújtó szökőárban. Az esetet &#8211; érthető módon &#8211; a mai napig nem bírták kiheverni, és még mindig Phuket-ben, Thaiföldön tartózkodnak, hátha valahogy nyomára bukkannak az elveszett kis srácnak. Egyik este a helyi segélyszervezet az aktuális összeruccanáson levetít egy videofelvételt a Burma legeldugodtabb részében található falvak és az ottan élők nyomorúságos helyzetéről. Jeanne meg van győződve róla, hogy az egyik képkockán saját elveszett gyermekét pillantotta meg. A felvétel azonban túlságosan homályos, és a férj sem hisz igazán az egészben, mégis saját lelkiismeretük megnyugtatása érdekében a házaspár egy helyi emberkereskedő banda tagjának segítségével (Thaksin Gao rulez:) ) beveti magát a burmai dzsungel kellős közepére, ahol az események néhány nap múlva váratlan fordulatot vesznek.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It never fails, once a year I become extremely jealous of those who live in Toronto. Normally I&#8217;m hard pressed to envy a city of that size, containing that many people, all with the go-go east coast attitude. Not to mention their hockey team is actually worse then ours&#8230; (seriously <a href="http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/">Leafs</a>, trading <a href="http://www2.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/players/Bryan_McCabe">Brian McCabe</a> because he costs to much but singing <a href="http://www2.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/players/Jeff_Finger/">Jeff Finger</a> to a four-year deal worth $3.5 million a season??!!??)</p>
<p>However, west coast hipster jokes aside, I wish I was in Toronto right now. <a href="http://www.tiff08.ca/">TIFF</a> is in full swing and the closest I can get to it is reading reviews on various blogs around the net. As a result I figured I should give you all a one stop shop for <a href="http://www.tiff08.ca/">TIFF</a> reviews.  Here is the round up of day one:</p>
<p><a href="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/thebrothersbloomposter2.jpg"><img src="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/thebrothersbloomposter2.jpg?w=64&#038;h=96" alt="" title="thebrothersbloomposter2" width="64" height="96" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-169" /></a><strong>The Brothers Bloom</strong> (review by <a href="http://www.cinematical.com/">Cinematical</a>): Long awaited in the wake of his 2005 debut Brick, Rian Johnson&#8217;s <em>The Brothers Bloom</em> is a magic trick of a film; the second it&#8217;s over, you want to see it again so you can try to catch how you were tricked, but you also want to see it again so you can return to the joy and wonder of being wrapped up in the nimble, deck-shuffling hands of a born showman<a href="http://www.cinematical.com/2008/09/04/tiff-review-the-brothers-bloom-/"> &#8230;more&#8230;</a></p>
<p><a href="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/rachelgettingmarriedposter.jpg"><img src="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/rachelgettingmarriedposter.jpg?w=64&#038;h=96" alt="" title="rachelgettingmarriedposter" width="64" height="96" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-167" /></a><strong>Rachel Getting Married</strong> (review by <a href="http://www.cinematical.com/">Cinematical</a>): <em>Rachel Getting Married</em> is a terse, smart, funny and tough family drama about forgiveness and failure written by Jenny Lumet; it&#8217;s also a loose, smart, broad and bright film about family and love directed by Jonathan Demme. When these two things are in sync, the end result is something truly impressive <a href="http://www.cinematical.com/2008/09/04/tiff-review-rachel-getting-married/">&#8230;more&#8230;</a></p>
<p><a href="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/ghost-town-movie-poster-1.jpg"><img src="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/ghost-town-movie-poster-1.jpg?w=64&#038;h=96" alt="" title="ghost-town-movie-poster-1" width="64" height="96" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-170" /></a><strong>Ghost Town</strong> (review by <a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/">/film</a>): In about 6 seconds, I will lose a lot of geek cred… 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… I’m not a fan of Ricky Gervais. There, I said it. Also, I have yet to get into either the British or American versions of The Office. ::gasp:: I know, a travesty. That said, I caught David Koepp’s <em>Ghost Town</em> at the Toronto Film Festival, and I didn’t hate it. I also didn’t love it either <a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/09/04/tiff-movie-review-ghost-town/">&#8230;more&#8230;</a></p>

If the goal was to announce to the world that sophomore feature director Mabrouk El Mechri is a truly world class talent, then you may also consider that mission a success <a href="http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/jcvd-review/">&#8230;more&#8230;</a></p>

Sure, there are exceptions, films with characters so bad that you get the vicarious thrill of living through them or films that pack a serious emotional catharsis generally, but for the most part it’s a pretty tough road to walk <a href="http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/tiff-review-cold-lunch-lonsj/">&#8230;more&#8230;</a></p>
<p><a href="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/poster_rocknrolla.jpg"><img src="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/poster_rocknrolla.jpg?w=64&#038;h=96" alt="" title="poster_rocknrolla" width="64" height="96" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-174" /></a><strong>RocknRolla</strong> (review by <a href="http://twitchfilm.net/">Twitch Films</a>): Well, glory be, Guy Ritchie is back and back in a big way.  His debut film, <em>Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels</em>, branded Ritchie the brash young wunderkind of Brit film; <em>Snatch</em>, for its part, confirmed his place as the patron of the punters and thugs.  His films were bold, stylish, hyper-violent sned ups of UK crime culture, painting a vivid picture of a world where everyone was on the take, where everybody had an angle <a href="http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/tiff-review-rock-n-rolla/">&#8230;more&#8230;</a></p>
<p><a href="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/vinyan_poster101.jpg"><img src="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/vinyan_poster101.jpg?w=73&#038;h=96" alt="" title="vinyan_poster101" width="73" height="96" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-175" /></a><strong>Vinyan</strong> (review by <a href="http://twitchfilm.net/">Twitch Films</a>): Without any doubt at all Fabrice du Welz’s <em>Vinyan</em> has been one of the most anticipated films of the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival amongst genre film fans.  Du Welz has a proven track record as a director with a compellingly unique viewpoint, a man not afraid to challenge and punish his audience, and with a cast as strong as he has here with a premise as compelling, it has been hard to imagine him going too far wrong <a href="http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/tiff-review-vinyan/">&#8230;more&#8230;</a></p>
<p><a href="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/nqhposter.jpg"><img src="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/nqhposter.jpg?w=63&#038;h=96" alt="" title="nqhposter" width="63" height="96" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-177" /></a><strong>Not Quite Hollywood</strong> (review by <a href="http://twitchfilm.net/">Twitch Films</a>): My friends, we have forgotten our own history.  The cult of Italian giallo film is alive and well.  The eighties American grinders?  We are well versed in those.  From Euro-cult to Hong Kong Cat III fare it seems every bit of the cult film world is well represented with hosts of knowledgable fans but there is one glaring area of oversight <a href="http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/tiff-review-not-quite-hollywood/">&#8230;more&#8230;</a></p>
<p><a href="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/flammen-og-citronen.jpg"><img src="http://superuwatchers.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/flammen-og-citronen.jpg?w=70&#038;h=96" alt="" title="flammen-og-citronen" width="70" height="96" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-178" /></a><strong>Flame and Citron</strong> (review by <a href="http://twitchfilm.net/">Twitch Films</a>): Historically speaking the World War II film has been all but over run by the holocaust.  This is not necessarily a bad thing and certainly not a criticism, there are important stories to tell there and lots of them.  It does mean, however, that a good number of other stories, all of them important in their own ways, have generally been pushed to the side <a href="http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/tiff-review-flame-and-citron/">&#8230;more&#8230;</a></p>
<p>I could continue on as there are endless films playing right now, so much so that it would be daunting to try and deliver you with all of the reviews. As a result I have put up a couple of films I have high interest in, as well as some films that are highly anticipated (<em>Ghost Town</em>, <em>Rachel Getting Married</em>, <em>The Brothers Bloom</em>, etc). Make sure to get your <a href="http://tiff08.ca/boxofficeinfo/tickets/default.aspx">tickets</a> to films you are interested in as soon as possible, these films sell out fast.  I&#8217;ll be here attempting to contain my jealousy&#8230;</p>
