Tá bom....

Vou buscar toda a essência otimista dentro de mim para torcer por Casa de Areia nessa competição "interna"....mas no Oscar??? Entre os cinco finalistas??? Continuo achando difícil...

Por falar em O Clã das Adagas Voadoras...realmente foi uma injustiça...parece que só concorreu em fotografia...mas aquela direção de arte magnífica???

[Spencer]

Alguém sabe mais sobre o filme ASK THE DUST, com Colin Farrell e Salma Hayek....falam tanto nele por causa de THE NEW WORLD...

Será que ASK THE DUST tem chances no Oscar?? E o Colin Farrell?? Pelo menos a caracterização numa foto que vi...parece séria...melhor que a do Pocahontas

Romance
& Cigarettes

Directed by John Turturro
United Artists (for now)

Romance & Cigarettes was a breath of fresh air at this year's Toronto Film Festival... and a bit of cigarette breath as well.

You have to give it to John Turturro. He is one audacious guy. There is no beating around the bush here. He takes a simple story of suburban New York life - a family, a first affair, and the results - and breaks out in pop songs with a mix of the actors' singing, the original recordings and a mixture of significant and insignificant choreography. Interestingly, the more simple he stays, the more effective the film.

There is great novelty in seeing James Gandolfini singing. And Kate Winslet is a surprise, the one performer - other than professional singer Mandy Moore - to really try to dominate the original music tracks underneath the actors' performances. But while many of the big numbers work, the arrival of actors singing has diminishing returns.

Turturro is a very meticulous director. He's still relatively inexperienced, but you can feel his hand in very specific details in each scene. Sometimes, his grasp is simply greater than his reach. For instance, he has a habit of cutting between scenes within songs, even when there is little dramatic call for it. A scene between Gandolfini and Susan Sarandon might well be punctuated with back-up singing by the daughters (Mary Louise Parker, Mandy Moore and Aida Tarantino) and even though the girls add energy, their involvement is without much dramatic logic.

There also seem to be some missing scenes. Where is the Steve "The Pal" Buscemi number, the Eddie "The Reverend" Izzard number and the Mary Louise "The Middle Daughter" Parker numbers? Perhaps they came and went. Perhaps not. I don't know. But when you have that talent on set, you would expect someone as clever as Turturro to take advantage of it.

Still, our intrepid writer/director sticks to his guns, keeping the film squarely in the world of the lower middle class without ever condescending. A little more baffling, but still a committed choice, R&C is one of the raunchiest films of the festival, mostly in the person of Kate Winslet's character, Tula, whose pornographic descriptions of activities of choice are as jaw-dropping as they are funny.

Cameoing to great effect are Chris Walken and Elaine Stritch, both turning up as expected. Walken, unfortunately, doesn't get to rise to the level of either Pennies From Heaven or his Spike Jonze's video for Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice. Also doing a nice turn as a pair in love are Bobby Canavale & Mandy Moore.

Gandolfini is excellent in the lead. Susan Sarandon fills her role with skill and wit. And as the third member of the triangle, Kate Winslet steals the show, whether it is spewing filth, dancing and offering up her breasts as virtual third and fourth feet, or doing her best Bjork in an underwater sequence. You only wish she had slightly better material to work with because she brings it and she brings it without flinching.

There is little question, you could drive a truck through this movie. But there is a lot of great stuff here that is incredibly enjoyable. I don't know if anyone can find a bigger-than-small-arthouse audience for this film. There were enough buyers in the screening here at Toronto to make rumors that Sony is still looking to sell the film off (as well as Art School Confidential, which wasn't up to a screening here) for another distributor to handle. And it is a tough order. But I know that I'll be looking forward to seeing it again.

Depois de tantas criticas negativas, pelo menos uma pra animar E Kate arrasando como sempre!

[Scarlet Rose]

Crítica é uma coisa relativa mesmo... Closer tem só 68% de aprovacao no RT! Um pouquinho mais do que o horroroso Tróia! E não digam que o site não é valido, pq contem criticas de varios veiculos importantes dos EUA. Imaginem que o Hollywood Reporter massacrou Closer e o NY Times elogiou Vanilla Sky.

 

[MERI BRASIL]

Annette Bening (whose Mrs. Harris is not being released for Oscar season... a good choice) can get away with a good performance in a weak movie and still get lifted into the awards season. Felicity Huffman can not. More importantly, Istvan Szabo may not have made a great film last year, but he created a big fluffy foundation for Ms. Bening to float on. Not so Mr. Tucker. He may turn out to be a special writer/director some day. He certainly is ambitious in his first choice of a major film canvas. But he struck out swinging here.

Guidon essa é pra vc.

Closer é um verdadeiro tratado dos relacionamentos humanos contemporãneos. Mike Nichols usa de sua habilidade de extrair o que há de mais sordidamente humano da interrelação de seus personagens de forma sóbrea e afiada.

DEMAIS!!!

Tróia e Vanilla Sky são horrorosos mesmo...o original do Vanilla Sky já era ruim e ainda tiveram a infeliz idéia de fazer uma versão em inglês...horrível...só não é zero por causa da atuação esforçada de Cameron Diaz...

Closer, na minha opinião, é um filme interessandíssimo, merecia ter sido indicado como Melhor Filme...Natalie Portman e Clive Owen mereceram suas indicações...

Putzzzz eu ando tão sem tempo de vasculhar na net, muito trabalho,....alguém sabe alguma novidade dos filmes da Uma Thurman: PRIME e THE PRODUCERS?????

Boa crítica, principalmente para Winslet! David Poland é um crítico importante!
Onde esse filme passa, críticas colocam Winslet como incrível, roubadora do filme, citando-a a condição de disputar uma indicação ao Oscar, cada vez me chama mais a atenção...e essa cena dela em baixo d'água cantando é de um surrealismo incrível, só pelas fotos...além do clipe que eu vi de Tula...bom, caracterização e construção perfeitas...mas é uma pena, para mim o nível da personagem de Winslet, vagabunda, faladora de palavrões e frases pesadas, mesmo a performance sendo incrível...ela dificilmente será indicada...o que é triste, mas é oq a AMPAS preteri...enfim...
Scarlet viu o vídeo que eu mandei não viu? Incrível hein?

PS: Estava demorando para eu homegear este filme e este grande diretor americano...que bom que achei essa bela foto de Magnólia...OFF-TOPIC!

Gwyneth Paltrow e seu filme Proof receberam críticas bem variadas de fontes importantes como LA Times e NY Times, enfim...

o original do Vanilla Sky já era ruim e ainda tiveram a infeliz idéia de fazer uma versão em inglês...

Eu acho o filme original , Abre Los Ojos , um filme interessante que já revelava o talento do diretor espanhol Alejandro Amenábar .

Adeus Mrs. Harris Guidon!

Diz que o filme que não foi lançado na temporada de Oscar, o que foi uma boa decisão...que o filme é fraco, mas que a performance dela é boa...que ela talvez, possa chegar a temporada de premiações...mas nada de concreto nesta pequena crítica, ao contrário do ano passado, com a repercussão de Being Julia.

[Ronny]

Opinião da crítica americana a respeito da atuação de Tom Wilkinson em "Separate Lies":

Em sua resenha do filme, a revista Entertainment Weekly escreveu: "Wilkinson volta a nos surpreender com sua capacidade de transmitir fraqueza e força, hipocrisia e cavalheirismo, crueldade e compaixão, tudo no mesmo animal masculino". A Rolling Stone e a The New York Observer consideraram sua atuação digna de uma indicação ao Oscar.

Senhoras e senhores, mais um na acirrada disputa pelo Oscar de Melhor Ator

Ps.: Este ano promete ser histórico para o Oscar, tamanha a quantidade de merecedores do prêmio!

Se isso vier a se confirmar, já podemos descartá-la!!

Adoro Tom Wilkinson, acho-o um ótimo ator britãnico!

Mas quando eu li a crítica por inteiro, me surpreendeu a falta de elogios mais fervorosos a Emily Watson, o que já envidencia uma coisa...ela está fora.

Se quiser ler resenhas fervorosas a Emily Watson, leia alguma do filme THE PROPOSITION, western australiano que esteve em Toronto. Das 4 ou 5 críticas que li a respeito do longa, Watson é aclamada em todas!!!

Alguém tem o link da press conference de BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN em Toronto??

Acho que passou ontem e eu perdi!!!

Do mais, se Walk the Line e Brokeback Mountain estiverem em competição, assim como Mrs. Henderson Presents e Transamerica, sairão vitoriosos!!!

É no que aposto!!!
