Jagten (2012)
One man's struggle against life's unfairness.
A film about how unjust life is. About evil, the meaning of truth and forgiveness. A film about life itself, encompassed in a single life story, so unlike anything you've ever heard of, that it keeps you breathless and on the verge of tears throughout. It's better than anything I've seen in a long time, thanks to its originality and truthfulness. It's premise is so uncommon, any reaction from the characters seems real, since you never know what someone in that situation would do. In all, it brings out some of the worst problems in life, lead by unfairness and the prevalence of lies. There's a glimpse of hope near the end, when human forgiveness is shown in a flicker, but ultimately distrust prevails. "The world is full of evil but if we hold on to each other, it goes away."
Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
Adam Sandler plays a disturbed but passionate character, surrounded by a series of deceptions and uncomfortable situations that in the end make him change his lifestyle.
I feel like I'm missing something. Very good movie, specially entertaining because of the music and camera-work, but I think there's something deeper I'm not getting. Maybe the harmonium is the connection? What do the aural lights signify?
Adam Sandler's performance is better than anything else I've seen him in and Philip Seymour Hoffman is, as always, mesmerizing.
In all, quite an interesting and highly watchable movie but perhaps not Anderson's best.
I recommend it to both someone looking for something light and quirky, and someone looking to rack their brains out wondering what's behind the simple facade.
