Review – Fatih Akin’s “Soul Kitchen”
(2/5) From the director of “Head On” and “The Edge of Heaven” I was expecting something less obvious than “Soul Kitchen”. The film is a gallery of ethnic stereotypes with a German twist. German-Greek mate Zinos, coming from the lower part of town and with a brother freshly paroling out of prison, has a bottom [...] -
Review – Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”
Tim Burton’s most recent feature ‘Alice in Wonderland’ is maniacal and colourful, like the rest of his filmography. Stylistically, the film is multi-layered; it is gloomy and sinister in aesthetic. The mise en scene is unpredictable, unsettling and unhinged, much like the March Hare’s throwing antics. Whilst Burton’s Gothic, hyper-real visuals are eye-catching, the film, [...] -
Review: “Crazy Heart”
(3/5) “Crazy Heart” belongs to a long tradition of American movies focused on the loser. The film shows, in a romantic fashion, how such men lose themselves in society and deal with this reality of loss. It is the long shadow of the American Dream; the other side of the coin on the very same [...] -
Review – Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island”
Martin Scorsese’s ‘Shutter Island’ is shot in perpetual gloom. The film is reminiscent of a nightmare: always dark, chaotic and unsettled. Whilst Scorsese employs elements of the psychological thriller, he also refers to the melodrama in order to explain his story. The film is about a man trapped in his own mind, a struggle that [...] -
Avatar: Ecodigital Wars
James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ is a blockbuster with purpose. Set in the future and extraterrestrial planet Pandora, the film has a very terrestrial and present – almost nostalgic – message about war and nature. More than the usual sci-fi, Cameron’s feature is well grounded in history, with references to American Wars (such as the Vietnam and [...] -
Review – Ruben Fleischer’s “Zombieland”
Ruben Fleischer’s zombie comedy ‘Zombieland’ (2009) provides us with an apocalyptic vision of America, one now overrun by zombies. Streets have become abandoned in the wake of the ghoulish takeover, whilst humans have become the extreme minority, the target of food for the un-dead. Packed with cheese, laughs and plenty of gore, Fleisher never, ever [...] -
Review – Joel and Ethan Coen’s “A Serious Man”
Joel and Ethan Coen’s most recent feature ‘A Serious Man’ (2009) poetically returns to the theme of masculine crisis, a concept that has filtered – at different levels – throughout their filmography. Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg), a mildly neurotic Jewish-American academic, is unappreciated by his kids, overshadowed by his wife’s demands for a divorce, burdened [...] -
Review – Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds”
Quentin Tarantino’s latest piece ‘Inglourious Basterds’ (2009) is a brave, but entertaining spin on the World War II experience. Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) fronts a band of Jewish-American rogue soldiers into the heart of the Third Reich. Their mission: shedding as much Nazi blood as possible. Once the Basterds make contact with Shosanna (Mélanie [...] -
Review – Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies”
Michael Mann’s historical flick ‘Public Enemies’ (2009) follows the escapes, pursuits and captures of famous American outlaw, John Dillinger (played by Johnny Depp). Set in the midst of the Great Depression, the film’s gloomy cinematography and dazzling costume design is capturing from start to finish. Mann’s film, without doubt, is an improvement on his 2006 [...]
