Dogville (2003)
3/10
Good concept, awful film
12 October 2003
I do not want to bore you with how much I respect Lars von Trier. I think his movement and his films show a very interesting and unique way of filming. But he's wrong this time. The philosophic background of Dogville is alright, not to mention the great idea that the scenery is theatre-like. But plays belong into theatres. Dogville couldn't keep my attention alive, during the last hour I was punching my seat, and was hoping there would be a change coming. But there was no change. Von Trier doesn't joke. Let's show him some Film d'art movies from the 1910s. He's doing the same mistakes.

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. And I've seen a lot.

A friend of mine recommended this movie to me, because his brother founded a table-football club called 'Kung Pow'. Don't ask me why :) I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Relentless laughing, sparkling humour. No ugly jokes, just pure funniness. This film doesn't take itself serious, it is laughing with the audience. Really cool.

Pleasant Days (2002)
9/10
True, raw and doesn't let you go
1 April 2003
Hungarian journalist say Kornél Mundruczó's film is likely to Pasolini's and Fassbinder's best movies. It shows the conflict of three young Hungarians, who have no choice in life. Maya has a child, but sells it to Kata. The father of the baby is Péter's best friend. Péter's boss is the lover of Maya. Péter, Kata's brother falls in love with Maya. A situation that can not be solved. Raw conflicts and raw agressivity rule the scene. A very honest work.

Se7en Runner
3 August 2002
Another fairy tale by one of the most professional mainstream directors of our time. Steven Spielberg's journey into the future, where murders can be caught before they even commit a crime. Interesting story, but beneath the surface, we can only find David Fincher's Se7en and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner mixed together with a bit of Spielberg's technocracy. No big surprises, everything explained. Why do they need the audience?
