Blue Jean (2022)
7/10
Blue Jean 1988
3 August 2023
1988- 2023 have a lot of things changed since then? Not many, especially in provinces all around the world!

A movie which gives prominence to the taboos of society and to racism and discrimination that still people face due to their sexual orientation.

With no exaggerations a portrait of a woman is being developed in a flaming society. A very realistic and political movie, without politics being mentioned.

The easthetics of the particular decade are so smoothly projected. (That's the difference between Europe vs Hollywood cinematography- love it!!)

It is worth mentioning the transformation of Ms Kerrie Hayes to Vivian, it is amazing!

Summertime (2015)

This is European cinema!

This is the difference between European & Hollywood studios. Spot the differences for instance, between this masterpiece and Carol.

Realistic approach, realistic characters, realistic styling!! Of course styling! Look how exaggerated Carol is in terms of depiction of the period and of styling. Pls do not misunderstand me, I do not like to underestimate Carol, but just to compare the two different procedures of cinematography!

The story is so real that you agonize along with the obstacles the characters have to get by!

Amazing piece of work, totally recommended! All the characters are so real-to-life!

Although having seen it out of season, I recommend this movie for those who want to have a carefree screening! Definitely not for cinephiles. Of course it's not an equivalent of Love Actually, but for such a low budget you can give it a try. Emily Goss is very classy and Laur Allen is convincing; my favourite build-up story!

The thing with all these low budget US movies is the make-up & styling. As a lover of European cinematography I honestly can't see the point of having all this make-up in every single scene. That's not realistic at all!

There are some comments here about poor acting. I think the script is weak but the actresses did their best to lift this movie up.
