'Another Year' ~
Mike Leigh the director has tried diverse ways and frames since the great success of 'Secrets and Lies', his canonical film. In some cases the changes have functioned well (Topsy Turvy, The Secrets of Vera Drake), and in others not so much (Happy-the story about happiness).
'Another Year' situates in the middle zone, near Secrets and Lies, but with less dramatic laziness or slackness; flirting with comedy but not denying categorically a sense of equable melodrama, that delves in the miseries of the human condition. Without surprises, it's a film strictly loyal to the way of seeing the world.
'Return To The Future' ~
As already been done in the 'House Of The Devil', the director It West returning to 'The Innkeeper', to the best American films of the era 70, the period of the TV films. To offer a melancholic alternative to the irritating terror of manipulation of images, with 'The Future ...' born in the hands of the director who took his time to create credible scenario for the action. Despite certain problem of tone and script, this new film of West is once
again admirable.
'My Life As A Chimpanzee' ~
Read somewhere that 'Project Nim' was an entertaining film. This is not true. It's, above all, a really sad documentary, of James Marsh, director of 'Man On Wire', about a chimpanzee Nim, subjected to an experiment to live with humans. You can laugh with 'A Letter to Momo'; but with this one, you can cry buckets.
'The Imperfect Storm' ~
Spectators of Julie Taylor, the motion pictures, at the least, were usually so exuberant as pretentious and boring. 'The Storm' is not any exception. Citing the title of another work of Bardo de Avon: 'Much noise (and fury), little nuts. (English equivalent: Much ado about nothing). Remembering naturally, the face of Felicity Jones.
