ecological and moral dillemas before history begun (Film: Noah – Darren Aronofsky, 2014)

Posted on December 10, 2016 by admin

I have a hard time placing this film. On one side it’s so typically hollywoodish – it’s a super-production with Bible-related content that would make it probably to many Christian films festivals. It’s very conventional in its ecological message and … Continue reading →

Posted on December 7, 2016 by admin

It took me a very long time to get convinced about the acting skills of Ben Affleck. I could not distinguish him in the movies he acted, or between the roles in different movies he acted in the first years of … Continue reading →

Posted on December 7, 2016 by admin

Pe Teodor Baconschi l-am vazut pentru prima data intr-un interviu televizat cu aproximativ un deceniu in urma. Am urmarit apoi activitatea sa politica mai vizibila pentru cineva care nu traieste in Romania in perioada in care a fost ministru de … Continue reading →

CHANGE.WORLD: Westworld – O oglindă a lumii noastre

Posted on December 6, 2016 by admin

Una dintre slăbiciunile mele mărturisite este vizionarea serialelor ştiinţifico-fantastice. Oferta este foarte bogată, oferta de calitate este mult mai puţin numeroasă, cam ca în orice gen artistic. Şi totuşi, odată la câţiva ani apare câte un serial care mă face … Continue reading →

Once, half a life ago, I stood in front of the Brandenburg Tor on Eastern side of the wall. The year was 1980 and I was visiting East Berlin and the DDR, one my two only trips in ‘friendly socialist’ … Continue reading →

a melodrama about the making of a melodrama (Film: Saving Mr. Banks – Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks, 2013)

the most beautiful end of the world (film: Melancholia – Lars von Trier, 2011)

Posted on November 30, 2016 by admin

When he is not making provocative statements at news conferences Lars von Trier makes movies. Some of them are shocking. Some of them are stunning. I did not like all his films (Dogville was too dry an experiment for me) and … Continue reading →

CHANGE.WORLD – O nouă întâlnire de gradul trei

Posted on November 29, 2016 by admin

Nu ştiu dacă artiştii care au conceput efectele grafice ale filmului ‘Arrival’ (titlul românesc este ‘Primul contact’) regizat de canadianul (din Quebec) Dennis Villeneuve au fost inspiraţi conştient sau inconştient din silueta ‘Păsării în Spaţiu’ a lui Brâncuşi.

dark and intriguing (Film: Elle – Paul Verhoeven, 2016)

Posted on November 28, 2016 by admin

Paul Verhoeven is close to 80 years old. I was unaware about this biographical detail until reading his bio on IMDB. I thought about him as being much younger, and the reasons are to be found in his films. Verhoeven … Continue reading →
