Moon Garden (2022)
A dive into the rabbit hole of a child's brain
A remarkable piece of cinema about what a brain does when cut off almost completely from sensory input. Imagine a dream that you can't wake up from, you struggle to get by in a place where every fear and hope manifests itself instantly around you. We are invited to watch elements of a child's world orchestrate the unspeakable and unimaginable of the otherworld, the (scientifically) practically uncharted terrain of a mind in coma. And it does so almost without CGI !
A prove that you can show complex things with comparatively simple means. Nowadays, in most of the movies of this genre it is exactly the other way around. They show so much and convey so little. Respect!
My Mistress (2014)
sublime, rough, truthful !
Youngster meets mysterious middle aged female. What a rare work of cinema and beautiful, completely credible testimony of stretches in life that are anything but easy: Subtle yet outright in its set up of the human condition, this being tangled up in weird realities. Today I saw "Fifty Shades of Grey", which was not quite as bad as I had feared, but this one here is a entirely different category, it has true magic, like David Lynches " Blue Velvet", of which it can be called related and very worthy so. Every couple of minutes of this film are better than the whole of that hyped commercial glitzy picture before mentioned. Why does the crowd get to see the junk only?
