Prošlo
je skoro pola godine, a ja još nisam okačio listu najočekivanijih NE-HORORA!
Vreme je (bolje ikad nego nikad) da najzad predstavim svoj lični izbor novih nehororičnih
naslova koje ću jedva dočekati da pogledam u ovoj ili narednoj godini. Neki od
dolenavedenih su gotovi i već su imali premijere na raznim festivalima; neki su
u postprodukciji, a par njih tek treba da počne snimanje. Poređao sam ih po
redosledu moje nestrpljivosti, od filmova od kojih najviše očekujem pa prema
onima koji verovatno neće biti remek-dela, ali ih, po svemu sudeći, ipak
obavezno vredi pogledati. Ujedno podsećam da sam nailazeće HORORE na blogu već
najavio u 4 nastavka, pa kome je to promaklo, može da potraži...
Za
razliku od njih, NEHORORE ću obraditi u dva
dela: u današnjem izboru nalaze se filmovi poznatih reditelja, na poznate teme, poznatih i atraktivnih naslova.
U drugom delu predstaviću nešto opskurnije filmove za koje verovatno niste čuli
osim ako pomno ne pratite izveštaje sa svetskih filmskih festivala.
UPCUMMING NONHORROR FLIX, pt.1
Nymphomaniac
- Lars von Trier
A
self-diagnosed nymphomaniac recounts her erotic experiences to the man who
saved her after a beating. With: Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgård, Shia
LaBeouf, Christian Slater, Jamie Bell, Uma Thurman, Willem Dafoe...
****
Tri sata fon Trira o ženama i sexu: explicitno, bezobrazno, mračno,
mizantropsko, provokativno...
Only
God Forgives - Nicolas Winding Refn
Nicolas
Winding Refn returning to the screen with Ryan Gosling in ONLY GOD FORGIVES a
crime movie set in Thailand and that Thai-boxing is involved.
**** Nadam se
da ovaj nastavak neshvatljive fetišizacije Rajana Goslinga neće biti mlitavi
ćorak kao precenjeni DRIVE nego povratak Refna u formu; kritike su podeljene,
ima šanse da pukne, a možda je samo (opet!) neshvaćen, kao BRONSON i VALHALLA
RISING. Videćemo već 14. juna kad zaigra u našim bioskopima, tj. na reviji
filmova (Bg, NS, Niš).
The
Dance of Reality - Alejandro Jodorowsky
Life goes by
like a dream — and sometimes a nightmare — in “The Dance of Reality,” an
“imaginary autobiography” by legendary cult filmmaker (and self-proclaimed
“psychomagician”) Alejandro Jodorowsky that marks the octogenarian Chilean
helmer’s first feature in the 23 years since the barely released job-for-hire
“The Rainbow Thief.” As purely personal a film as Jodorowsky has ever made, “Dance”
features no shortage of the bizarro imagery and willful atonalities that have
long been his stock-in-trade, but it all seems to stem from a more sincere,
coherent place this time than in the flamboyant head movies (“El Topo,” “The
Holy Mountain”) that made him a star of the 1970s midnight movie scene. By
turns playful, tragic and surprisingly light on its feet, this welcome comeback
— “rebirth” might be more in keeping with pic’s own spirit — should keep its
maker fully booked on the fest circuit, with arthouse theatrical play also
likely in key territories.
**** Snimljen na
videu, s budžetom za šaku kikirikija, ovaj film teško da će moći da se meri sa
Jodovim pravim bioskopskim ekstravagancijama – ali moguće je da je stari čarobnjak
uspeo i štapom i kanapom da proizvede magiju! Ipak, spremite se za siroviju
vizuelnost i jeftine cgi efekte.
Jodorowsky’s
Dune
Founded on the
iffy premise, raised here by Nicolas Winding Refn, that the combination of a
cult book plus a cult director would have equaled a bigger-than-“Star Wars”
worldwide sci-fi sensation, “Jodorowsky’s Dune” indulges one of film history’s
more entertaining “what if” stories. Before David Lynch spectacularly botched a
bigscreen adaptation of Frank Herbert’s “Dune,” Alejandro Jodorowsky, cinema’s
shaman of psychedelia, had a spectacular go at the job. Nearly 40 years later,
first-time director Frank Pavich attempts to re-create that vision (in our
imaginations, at least). Expect fanboys to flip and minds to be blown over the
highly entertaining result.
**** Fascinantna
priča o masterpisu kome nije bilo suđeno da se desi.
Gravity
- Alfonso Cuarón
Alfonso Cuarón's return to the
science fiction genre with GRAVITY, a real-time thriller starring Sandra
Bullock and George Clooney, stranded in the blackness of space after their
shuttle is destroyed. As they slowly run out of air and hope, only a
desperate maneuver can save them.
**** CHILDREN
OF MEN je od mene imao (5-). Stoga, ovu Kuaronovu sf-dramu jedva čekam!
Oldboy
Spike Lee
adapting a Korean movie in his remake of OLDBOY.
*** Ne volim
Spajka, ne volim (današnje) rimejke, ali volim OLDBOJA. Zaintrigiran sam na šta
će ovo da liči i proveriću to prvom prilikom. Džoš Brolin u glavnoj ulozi.
Elysium
Neill Blomkamp's socio-political
science fiction.
In the year
2154, the very wealthy live on Elysium – a Stanford torus space habitat in
Earth orbit – while the rest live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. The people
of Earth are desperate to escape the planet’s crime and poverty, and they
critically need the state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium – but
some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and
preserve their citizens’ luxurious and carefree lifestyle. The only one with
the chance to bring equality to these worlds is 36-year-old Max De Costa (Matt
Damon), an ordinary man in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life
hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission – one that
pits him against Elysium’s Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line
forces.
*** Za razliku
od ostatka čovečanstva, nisam se primio na hajp DISTRICT 9, ali priznajem da je
taj reditelj dovoljno intrigantan i da pokušava zanimljive, drugačije stvari
(thinking man's SF?!), pa ću tako i ovo rado overiti.
Penance
- Kiyoshi Kurosawa
Master
mindfucker Kiyoshi Kurosawa is back
with PENANCE, a four-hour episodic bit of craziness about a long-grieving
mother visiting the schoolgirl chums of her murdered daughter, who may or may
not have grown up to be emotional wrecks after witnessing the murder and not
being able to help catch the killer.
*** Ovo je već
sada gledljivo, ali na naporan način (online streaming): očekujem da uskoro
postane dostupan na humaniji način, u boljoj rezoluciji.
Blind
Detective
A serial-killer thriller wrapped in an
unruly slapstick comedy with
generous servings of food porn, “Blind Detective” is a deranged and delirious
smorgasbord of a movie. Even devotees of Hong Kong genre master Johnnie To and his frequent
collaborator, producer/co-writer Wai Ka-fai, may not be entirely sure what to
make of this unusually demented romp, a madcap mystery-romance that sustains a
light, bouncy tone and a decent hit-to-miss laff ratio even in scenes involving
strangulation, dismemberment and cannibalism.
*** Šta reći,
šta dodati? Gledaće se ovo ludilo!
Snowpiercer
Bong Joon-ho's upcoming
post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller Snowpiercer
gives us our first look at some footage from the film.The movie is based
on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige. The cast also includes
Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Jamie Bell,
Ewan Bremner, Ed Harris... Snowpiercer is set in a future where, after
a failed experiment to stop global warming, an Ice Age kills off all life on
the planet except for the inhabitants of the Snowpiercer, a train that travels
around the globe and is powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class
system evolves on the train but a revolution brews.
*** Obećava
vizuelnu raskoš, ako ništa drugo.
World's
End - Edgar Wright
The third and
final film in Edgar Wright's unofficial "Blood and Ice Cream
Trilogy." Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are back, along with other alumni of
the trilogy, including the wonderful Martin Freeman and Paddy Considine. Rumor
has it this one will lean toward sci-fi (as Shaun of the Dead covered
horror, and Hot Fuzz was action).
*** Ovo je
poslednja prilika koju dajem Rajtu i njegovim zvezdama da me ubede da nisu HOT
FIZZLE, jer posle SHAUNA im je ama baš sve što su radili zajedno ili odvojeno
bilo izrazito mediokritetsko i kilavo.
Paradise - Hope
What started
as one film project with three stories developed into the Paradise
trilogy. After premieres at Cannes (Love, 2012) and Venice (Faith,
2012), the third part, Hope (2013), is debuting at the coming Berlin
Festival - meaning that Ulrich Seidl has scored a unique hat-trick.
Faith, hope
and love do not guarantee happiness with the melancholy Austrian, who makes features
and documentaries in more or less the same style, focusing on long, static
shots of sombre, symmetrically shot spaces. Seidl’s subject is, as always,
shocking. In Paradise: Faith, the Christian faith of an Austrian
fundamentalist (regular Seidl heroine Maria Hofstätter), who sells statues of
the Virgin Mary door to door, chastises herself and also professes her love of
Jesus in a sexual way, clashes increasingly violently with the reactionary
worldview of her Islamic, tyrannical and wheelchair-bound Egyptian husband.
This earned the film the Special Jury Prize in Venice.
*** Drugi deo
ove trilogije mi je bio u top-10 prošle godine, pa bi to lako moglo da zadesi i
treći deo.
Dark Blood
- George Sluizer
Long-married
couple Buffy and Harry (Judy Davis and Jonathan Pryce) travel through the
desert in their Bentley, hoping to rekindle their relationship with a romantic
weekend. When the car breaks down in the middle of nowhere they seem doomed.
But then they get help from a young hermit called Boy (River Phoenix) who happens to live there. Their savior can easily
drive them back to civilization but constantly delays doing so, to Harry's
increasing chagrin. Instead, the couple get lecture after lecture on how rich
white people have trampled the Earth and the local Native Americans. Worse, Boy
has built a big shelter to await "the end of the world" and sees a
future there for himself together with Buffy... Dark Blood is a movie
that will stay with you; not only because of the extreme situation surrounding
the film, but because it is an exceptionally visualized film, well produced
with a captivating story.
*** Kada je
snimljeno 80% ovog filma, daleke 1993. godine, River Feniks je umro; ovo je
izmontiran postojeći materijal – najbliže što je uopšte fizički moguće
zamišljenoj i planiranoj verziji (uz pomoć premošćavanja kroz fotografije i
naraciju gde nedostaju scene).
Venus
in Fur - Roman Polanski
As with his
earlier “Carnage” and “Death and the Maiden,” “Venus in Fur” finds Roman Polanski transferring a New York
stage hit to the screen with maximum fidelity and facility, and a minimum of
fuss. Primarily a vehicle for Mrs. Polanski, Emmanuelle Seigner, who engulfs the screen with a juicy comic
performance that does full justice to a demanding role, this playful and
literate rumination on the fine line between passion and perversity, pleasure
and pain, life and art should draw the attention of discerning highbrow auds.
Mathieu Amalric stars as the writer,
Thomas, who is coming to the end of a long and unproductive day of auditions
when one last candidate (Seigner) blows in from the rain. Her name is Vanda,
she claims, just like the character, though from her head-to-toe leather
couture, studded dog collar and guttural accent, she neither looks nor sounds
the part of an upper-crust 19th-century dominatrix. Oddly, Vanda’s name doesn’t
even appear on the day’s call sheet, though she insists her agent told her to
come. At first, Thomas doth protest, but the tenacious Vanda persists, and
finally he agrees to let her read...
*** Polanski u
ovom veku nije snimio ništa za antologiju, ali nije se ni jezivo brukao (za razliku od nekih drugi starih kajli) svojim
okej-ali-zaboravljivim novijim delima. Sa kreditom koji je zaradio u 20. veku,
zaslužio je da ga ispratimo do kraja, a ovaj konkretni zaplet čak i zvuči
umereno obećavajuće.
Only
Lovers Left Alive
A vampire movie by Jim Jarmusch! He tweaks the genre slightly in “Only Lovers Left
Alive” to fit his own laid-back vibe, turning in a sweet but slight love story
about world-weary hipster bloodsuckers. Tilda
Swinton and Tom Hiddleston have empathic chemistry as the leads, and the
pic (acquired by Sony Classics at Cannes) is a smidge more commercial than
Jarmusch’s meandering previous effort, “The Limits of Control.” But it still
feels like an in-joke intended only for select acolytes.
*** Džarmuša
ne mogu da smislim, mada je to više zbog iritacije koju mi prouzročuju njegovi
obožavaoci a manje zbog samih filmova (koje sam, do sada, uglavnom izbegavao;
istina, DEAD MAN od mene ima jaku trojku). Ipak, kad je već napravio vampirski
film, skinuću mu embargo i overiti da vidim o čemu se tu radi.
Za
kraj, dva sasvim izvesno zabavna dokumentarca:
The
Pervert's Guide to Ideology
Žižek returns for another round of
analyzing film clips while making your head simultaneously spin and hurt with
THE PERVERT'S GUIDE TO IDEOLOGY.
A
Liar's Autobiography
Leave it to Graham Chapman, Monty Python's most
subversive member, to narrate his own animated pseudo-biodoc, A LIAR'S
AUTOBIOGRAPHY, decades after his death.
