The Artist

March 8, 2012 / Movie, Recent Released

Yes, it’s the silent film that simply wowed every cinema audience in this digital era. Michael Hanazavicius, sang sutradara, rupanya tertantang untuk menyajikan format tontonan klasik ini menanggapi fenomena penonton bioskop yang kini lebih suka menatap layar telepon selularnya daripada memperhatikan film yang sedang diputar. Dengan kembali ke film bisu dan meniadakan fitur audio, mau tidak mau penonton harus fokus pada layar untuk dapat memahami jalan cerita. Ah! How true :D Mengambil setting tahun 1927, Hanazavicius juga nampaknya ‘sengaja’ menerjemahkan premis [...]

Hugo

March 8, 2012 / Movie, Recent Released

Mediocre, oui monsieur Scorsese? – Based on “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” a historical fiction book written and illustrated by Brian Selznick. Swooping from the sky through tumbling snowflakes, clouds of steam and crowds of travelers, Scorsese‘s camera whooshes joyfully through a labyrinth of ladders, shafts, cranks and cogs enchant our eyes into pleasure. Hugo’s exuberant opening shot glimmers at the very beginning of an adventure.

50/50

December 22, 2011 / Movie, Recent Released

Nampaknya karena Joseph Gordon Levitt memang dianugerahi wajah yang melas, ia cocok sekali memerankan peran tokoh teraniaya macam Cameron James di 10 Things I Hate About You, Tom Hansen di 500 Days of Summer, atau seperti perannya sebagai Adam di film 50/50 ini. Kecuali tentunya saat ia mendobrak itu semua lewat Hesher (2010) :p. Well anyway, back to 50/50, Adam adalah pemuda twenty-something biasa, bekerja sebagai produser di sebuah stasiun radio dan memiliki pacar cantik yang tinggal bersamanya. Dunianya seketika jungkir balik saat ia divonis [...]

Opens with camera scuds between glimmering skyscrapers in downtown LA, credits of the hottest pink light up a sky of the blackest velvet and a pumping Euro-electro score. Long considered a talented Danish filmmaker whose spiky sensibility could never fit into hollywood, Nicolas Winding Refn (The [...]
