KINAMA

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

~ Stanley Kubrick

IN A BETTER WORLD (2010) — What makes the friendship between Christian and Elias so special is how deeply and honestly Susanne Bier displays the emotional side of both children. Only by peering the eyes of the two actors, I can feel the all emotional reasons why they become such small terrorists. PHARAOH (1966) — Faraon is an evocative anatopism, also an astonishing colossal. A truly rare gem of its kind. Not only works as a visual declaration, Kawalerowicz also made it so carefully, so mesmerizing, yet so challenging. SPIRITED AWAY (2001) — “What's in a name?” asked Shakespeare. “A name is an identity,” said this movie. MISS JULIE (1951) - Miss Julie is a very challenging study, whether psychological or situational. In a simple but smart way, Miss Julie presents the phases of a political game of love and seduction. MY NIGHT AT MAUD'S (1969) - Éric Rohmer not only talk about choices and risks of choices, there is also a glimpse the importance of choices and the pain of choices. My Night at Maud's, for me, is the most amazing movie about refracting those two opposing aspects of life. TEN (2002) — The use of "dashboard camera" method by Abbas Kiarostami is successfully providing such microscopic spectacle about the characters, not only on outside but also capable of making this movie as a unique character and gender study. THE PARTY AND THE GUESTS / A REPORT ON THE PARTY AND THE GUESTS (1966) — The allegory is not only the great thing about this Czechoslovak New Wave Cinema movie, but also its weirdness, its unnatural behavior, its peculiar plot, but the most of it is about how the movie smartly move without caution. ELEPHANT (2003) — Elephant is a piece of work that should be commended for its bravery. Such compliments are mainly intended to for Gus Van Sant's guts on using such non-linear and unusual narrative spectacle. Also packed with such unnatural risky styles which was really cost lot of guts. PORN THEATER (2002) — Porn Theater refers to a piece of life that rarely touched. Also refers to an aspect of sexuality that are still denied. Like it or not, this part will always be present and always will always be part of modern society. SWIMMING ALONE (2003) — Tho this movie is so simple, so small, it provides such suffocating experience and amazing observation. And the best thing about this on is how its lyrical scene that perfectly blends with its melancholy tone. Watching this movie is more like listening to how a person could swimming alone, rather than why he/she is swimming alone.

PHARAOH (1966) — Faraon is an evocative anatopism, also an astonishing colossal. A truly rare gem of its kind. Not only works as a visual declaration, Kawalerowicz also made it so carefully, so mesmerizing, yet so challenging.

TULISAN INI MUNGKIN MENGANDUNG SPOILER!

Oleh: Rio Johan (Rijon)Sutradara: Kim Moon-saeng & Park Sun-min

Tahun Rilis: 2003
Judul Internasional: Wonderful Days / Sky Blue

Giliran Korea Selatan unjuk gigi di bidang feature animasi. Ini jelas bukan animasi pertama dari Korea Selatan. Masih ada Heungbu and Nolbu (1969) sebuah clay animation (stop-mation dari boneka tanah liat) bikinan Gang Tae-ung. Tapi Wonderful Days lah feature film animasi modern Korea Selatan yang pertama kali saya tonton. Dan sepertinya Korea Selatan masih belum benar-benar berani unjuk gigi melalui film ini.
