Kinsey (USA, 2004) **** - Very good movie. Made me think a lot about all the questions that people still ask nowadays about the sexual nature of men and women (just for you to have an idea, it talks about levels. Yes, the levels). It was the first presentation of the film in Brasil and it I believe it will be in theaters soon.
Repulsion (UK, 1965) * - Completely insane. And not in a good way. I know it's Polanski and I should respect him and all, but... Just didn't like it.
Y tu mamá también (Mexico/USA, 2001) **** - It was the surprise movie of the night. And I was surprised indeed, for last time I went there they chose a terrible one. I had already seen it, and it was great to see it again. I just keep on wondering how the hell did the Warner Bros. directors decided to simply hand in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to this guy. He's great, but... Well, you'd have to see the movie to know what I'm talking about.
Next time the festival will be at may the 13th, which will be, as usual, a friday. For that, the theme will be horror movies. Do I have to mention I'll be there?
And today I have experienced again the amazing sensation of watching a film inside at the mind-boggling large screen of Central Plaza's Cinemark's room 10. I definitely missed the quality of the image and sound at that place. I can't even define the sensation. It's like another level or something.
Shi mian mai fu a.k.a House of Flying Daggers (China/Hong Kong) ***** - Five stars for the amazing cinematography, the great story and the battle and dancing scenes which were just fantastic.
Changed the layout! Much better now. And also changed the title.
