• A comedy deeper than it seems — for A Room with a View
  Written by couvent on 25.09.2022

  A room with a view is such a funny comedy. The english good society is depicted with such a biting way. Yet you can feel the love of the director for the eccentricity of some of characters. But its even more than that, the movie is a critic of conventions and rigidity of the society. One scene is particulary striking when Lucy, the heroine remembers her first kiss with George Emerson, after Cecil kissed her. This scene is so rememberable, you can really feel the power and beauty of desire.
  To conclude, this movie is so funny and moving at the same time, i really encourage you to watch it !

• An impressive movie — for Kaze tachinu
  Written by couvent on 26.09.2022

  The wind rises is not what you could expect from a miyazaki movie. More realistic, darker and less dreamy. Yet the blow and the strenght of the movie is really remarkable. The whole life of Jiro Horikochi is told to us and at the same time the tormented pre-war Japan life. You can really feel the whole japan society modernising itself, a movement shown to us with the impressive earthquake at the beggining of the movie. An incredible animated sequence by the way.
  A large number of places and characters are shown to us and you can feel that they are tossed around and lost in these troubled times. And Jiro is one of them, trying to achieve his dream of flying and confronting himself to the harsh reality.

• A classic ! — for Rope
  Written by couvent on 01.10.2022

  Rope is a movie about two young men, played by Farley Granger and Jon Dall, who kill a man for the chills and the pleasure of committing the perfect murder. They hide the body in a chest and invite all their friends to a diner. The tension is huge and the two characters are living the situation very differently : one is excited and enjoying teasing the guests, the other gets drunk to forget and is extremely awkward.
  This movie is very famous for being a sequence shot (with a few cuts very noticeable though). The atmosphere is even more tense as it is a behind closed door movie, and everything happens in one night. I love how you get involved with one of the character and the other one becomes quickly hateable.
  I highly recommend this movie if you’re a Hitchcock and thriller lover!
