Temporada de patos (2004)
magnificent
Prior to watching this film, I had read that it was partially influenced by Tarkovski's and Bergman's works, and even though those are some rather exciting influences, I thought the film could've have come out a bit clichéd ala Japon, well, whoever said that those directors were the main influences for Temporada de Patos was wrong and I was gladly surprised to see such a refreshing and at the same time simple visual style, I could come up with some distant comparisons considering Eimbcke's visual style such as Haneke's The Seventh Continent and at times with Tsai Ming-Liang's What Time Is it There, but other than that I loved the camera work and numerous scenes throughout the film, and aside from having such a good visual style, the acting was superb and the story was nothing short of magnificent containing numerous themes within it's subcontext which were subtly expressed making the characters personality extremely interesting, my only complaint would be that the film drags at times but other than than, an amazing work.
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
One of my favorites
Reservoir dogs is one of my favorite movies, though it's not for everyone, Tarantino's narrating way may be to fast for some to enjoy or the violence too much for some to stomach(though some blood was unesessary), the dialogue in this movie is great, I found it funny all throughout the movie, it also has great, and memorable scenes, like Tim Roth's bathroom story or the last shootout, everyone gives an excellent performance, especially Michael Madsen and Tim Roth, another thing worth mentioning is that it mixes lots of different ways of putting a story together and that amazed me. 9/10
L.A. Confidential (1997)
Great movie
I loved this movie, it has such a great script and wonderful performances, especially Russell Crowe as ''aggressive'' cop, the final scene is great too, and I love the fact that there is no good cop around, everyone has some interest. 9/10 (I still can't believe why Titanic won more Academy Awards than L.A Confidential)
