Vanskabte land (2022)
A different and unexpected film
The sights and sounds of the film are spectacular. I would have liked to see it filmed in a wider format.
Lucas, the priest, is a simple looking person, inexpressive, with a faith grounded in prayers. However, adversities show the worst in him: he is intolerant, dogmatic, aloof, distant, impulsive and even hypocritical. His only interest is photography, but even this hobby suffers him.
When his superior sends him to Iceland, we don't know if he thinks he is truly suited for the place or if he is sent there on purpose to test his vocation and his faith.
Ragnar, the man who guides him through Iceland, represents the opposite: the man who adapts to the environment, enjoys it, knows it, participates in community life and has no filters. The horse thing for this character may be an intentional provocation for Lucas (no reality in the film), or have happened de facto.
Carl has the insight or intelligence of experience. From the time he receives Lucas, he suspects he may become involved with Anna, but he knows it is not suitable for his daughter, let alone in that environment. His trust in Lucas is not total, though perhaps at first he doesn't know why.
Anna and Ida are the daughters, supported and sustained by their father. Ida is the spontaneity, the joy, the moment. Anna, at the age of nesting, in that place of few inhabitants, does not know a better man than Lucas. She has no parameters to compare and choose.
It is a long and slow film, but not boring. It leads us to understand the character and vicissitudes of the people who populated or live in places of extreme nature.
Lo imposible (2012)
Very boring
Firstly, I only saw less than one hour of the film and don't think will see the rest of the story.
The performance is hollow, don't provoke me to get into the drama.
The rithm is some kind of slow despite the mess.
It is a waste to have the history of that family and make this movie.
Climax (2018)
horrible
I wish I wouldn't wasted my time.
It is among the worst films I have seen.
Only feel anguish because of the kid.
There's no plot, no acting, no sense. This is the emptiness or less.
