The post Jean-Michel Roux – Les mille merveilles de l’univers AKA The Thousand Wonders of the Universe (1997) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
A man who has spent his life running away from his past. He is forced to finally deal things that he has left unresolved. When fate puts him on a collision course with the life that he reluctantly walked away from.
Voyager was directed by Volker Schlondorff, who’s other notable films include The Tin Drum and Death of a salesman. The screenplay for Voyager was written by Rudy Wurlitzer (Two-Lane Blacktop, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid). The screenplay was adapted from Swiss author Max Frisch’s novel ‘Homo Faber’.

At the core of Voyager is a story about a solitary man. Who is set in ways. Enter fate who then forces him to divert away from his comfort zone. When we first meet the film protagonist Walter Faber he is about to board a airplane going to Mexico. While waiting for his plane to leave he is befriended by a German man, who swears he knows him. Wanting to be left alone. He contemplates skipping his flight. A flight attendant drags him reluctantly on the flight. After the plane that that he is traveling on crashes in the desert. He slowly starts to let others in and he discovers that the German man is the brother of a old friend of his. Shortly thereafter Walter once again alters his destiny. When he decides to go with the German man who is going to see Walter’s friend. Instead of going to New York as he originally planned to do. When they arrive at the German man’s brothers home. They discover that his brother has killed himself. Walter then returns to New York only to discover that a girlfriend who he no longer cares about is not willing to let go of him just yet. Not wanting to have to deal with her. He on a whim gets on a boat for Paris. Shortly after he gets on the boat he meets a young woman named Elizabeth, who he renames ‘Sabeth’. Without giving away to much about the film main twist. Their evolving relationship is put in jeopardy the closer Walter gets to reconnecting with his past.

The opening set up leading to Walter getting on the boat for Paris is flawless. Things start to unravel once the moments he crosses paths with the Sabeth character. One of the things that makes the film from here on out lose the momentum that had been built early on. Is that the characters just seem to be aimlessly going from one moment to the next. Another things that weakens that latter part of the film is that it is not too hard to see where things are going. And by the time that the film’s conclusion rolls around. The final resolution is kind of a letdown. Without a doubt this film greatest assets are its two leads, Sam Shepard (Days of Heaven) in the role of Walter Faber and Julie Delpy (Killing Zoe) in the role of Sabeth.

The post Volker Schlöndorff – Homo Faber AKA Voyager (1991) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
The most playful and also the grittiest of Kieślowski’s Three Colors films follows the adventures of Karol Karol (Zbigniew Zamachowski), a Polish immigrant living in France. The hapless hairdresser opts to leave Paris for his native Warsaw when his wife (Julie Delpy) sues him for divorce (her reason: their marriage was never consummated) and then frames him for arson after setting her own salon ablaze. White, which goes on to chronicle Karol Karol’s elaborate revenge plot, manages to be both a ticklish dark comedy about the economic inequalities of Eastern and Western Europe and a sublime reverie about twisted love.

Quote:
In the devastating first film of the Three Colors trilogy, Juliette Binoche gives a tour de force performance as Julie, a woman reeling from the tragic death of her husband and young daughter. But Blue is more than just a blistering study of grief; it’s also a tale of liberation, as Julie attempts to free herself from the past while confronting truths about the life of her late husband, a composer. Shot in sapphire tones by Sławomir Idziak, and set to an extraordinary operatic score by Zbigniew Preisner, Blue is an overwhelming sensory experience.

The post Athina Rachel Tsangari – After Before (2016) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
American director Richard Linklater returns to the tale of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) that he began seventeen years ago in Before Sunrise (1995) with 2013’s Before Midnight. Set nine years after the events of Before Sunset (2004), this is an eloquently scripted dissection of a now middle-aged couple’s relationship. Reflective in tone, we open to Jesse reluctantly sending his son back to the States, before heading off to an idyllic Greek villa he and his wife have been staying in. The glowing couple appear happy, with Jesse writing yet another novel, Céline starting a new job in Paris and twin gold-ringleted daughters of their own.

Jesse, however, is keen to move back to America to spend more time with his son, causing most of the friction throughout this talkative drama. They soak up the sun at remote, preparing meals, Jesse writes and, when he isn’t putting pen to paper, he talks with Céline about their favourite subject of conversation – namely, themselves. Whilst this could be read as inane ego-tripping, the couple’s debates flow out with effortless elegance, covering everything from gender politics to theorems on life and death, at the same time fitting in plenty of time for humorous, acerbic bickering.

Before Midnight cinematographer Christos Voudouris captures the sun-soaked backdrop to such a sumptuous level that you wish you could walk through the screen, giving you plenty to feast your eyes upon as the couple chatter away on a lengthy car journey scene, meander through rough cobbled streets or sit and drink by the water’s edge. There’s also no getting away from the fact that very little actually happens. As an audience, we voyeuristically lap up the deliciously funny and honest (if sometimes overly pretentious) debates as the couple are “wandering around bullshitting” (as Jesse puts it). There’s also great a homely comfort to be found in seeing this couple finally together, with it rarely becoming tiresome.

Linklater, who co-wrote the script with his two stars, has made sure that what happens on screen is as natural as possible – and has succeeded in his efforts. Yet the juiciest parts of the film’s screenplay are to be found in the prickly, snapping arguments that take place after the lovebirds have flown the villa for a romantic break away from the kids. The carefully-crafted dialogue rolls out, organically moving from wide topics of conversation. Yet they are continually unable to escape themselves as the main subject matter, with their dialogue orbiting each other like the Earth does the Sun.

Within seconds, moments of comedy descend into emotive diatribes, producing statements from Delpy as to how women “explore for eternity in the garden of sacrifice”, fluxing back to joke lines like how Sylvia Plath killed herself by shoving her head in a toaster (it’s funnier in the movie), or her all too authentic impression of a bimbo blonde. Hawke is equally as impressive, coming across as an affected author, loving dad, and caring partner simultaneously. When all’s said and done, Linklater’s Before Midnight proves a fitting conclusion to a lovingly constructed trilogy of films.
