Micmacs -Jean Pierre Jeunet

電影節的一部電影. 天使愛美麗的導演, 看到似曾相識的色調, 以為還是那樣的技倆! 殊不知, 卻是由頭笑到尾. 看似意想天開的情節, 當中還是從滿出人意表的布局, 而且還表達了反戰, 支持和平的訊息. 充滿驚喜!!

Romance of Astrea and Celadon - Eric Rohmer

The love story set in ancient Gaul. There is a misunderstanding between young lovers Astrea and Celadon leads to his attempted suicide. Not realising he is still alive, Astrea mourns his death while he is nursed back to health down the river. Before the two are reconciled, Rohmer launches a full-scale meditation on fidelity and romance as only he can.

Similar to Rohmer's past films, many dialogues reveals love, romance, relationships and also fidelity. And he always use the humourous way to present how stubborn and foolish when people in love.

This may be his last film as he is already 87 years old. I am a big fan of him. Though his film a bit boring while too much dialogues and also not much picture scenes (Definitely cannot compare with the hollywood films), there is no one can director a film about love in such way. So subtly revealing philosophy of love and romance.

Night watching

It's about the Renaissance painter Rembrandt created his greatest work. The Nigh Watch. The director uses a dreaming way to present the film. I have watched the real pieces in Holland. The film made under the atmosphere consistently. So dark and gotheic.

I like the actor very much. Here are the links.

Angel

It's a film by Francois Ozon. I starting to admire this director. His films all in different styles and also different themes.

This story is about a beautiful and obsessive gal becomes a glittering self-made authoress in Edwardian England. She had great success which driven by her dreams and fantasy. She did it finally but her life runied in the hands of a man she loved. And she wanted to make her relationship and marriage into another dream. This time, she failed. She spent $ on her man but ended up she found out that she was cheated. And also all along she tried so hard to hide up her background which from a poor single-mon family. But ended up, she found out that she still cannot get rid of it. the history belongs to her life.

Classification really matters to love?
