Atlantic City (1980)
beautiful script and acting
I checked this film because of the acclaimed director, Louis Malle, and did not regret seeing it at all. The script is superb, so is the acting. Performances of both the lead and side actors are quite admirable. After the film ends, it triggers you start to think about the shadowy past of the characters, as everything happened in the story connects beautifully to their past and their psych. In the beginning, there is the mind hunting scene where the leading female character spreads lemon juice thru her upper body... It exhibits such a beautifully shot voyeuristic fetish both for the gaze of both the leading male character and the spectators; and prepares for a key knot. The mastery of the script deserves just a big applause.
La novia (2015)
Poetic, timeless, spaceless and beautiful
The film crew has shot a poem rather than a movie. You would either love or hate this piece; there is most probably no middle ground. I am personally in the former camp. The story itself is as familiar as an ancient Greek tragedy: namely, the sinfully intense love and the revengeful fate. The images are so captivating that makes you feel the characters exist out of space-time. This is highlighted when the heroin encounters "herself" more than a few times throughout the film. If you love poetry in images, then you will not easily forget the beautiful scenes and that primordial sadness arising from the unavoidable fate.
