Albert Nobbs (2011)
Glenn Close at her best
This was just one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Glenn Close is superb in this movie in every single moment. Her gestures and her posture and everything made this movie that already is a powerful and exceptional be even more so.
This is worth watching a first a second a third and even more times.
The plot is simple and genius and this role is just a proof of what Glenn Close is cable of.
I was moved by the story and could not get enough of the this Albert Nobbs and waited for it get boring or tiring but it never did. Even the still moments of this movie are suburb. The purity of the combination of Albert Nobbs both sides are amazing and I only wish to see Glenn Close is these kind of movie more often.
In the Land of Blood and Honey (2011)
Confusing...
I was really looking forward to watch this movie since the Bosnia war is such a present event and I still remember articles and news footage form the conflict. The beginning is quite promising and the plot seemed quite simple and interesting (even though done a thousand of times before, I think for all wars possible) but after the first violent shot I started to get confused and the story got quite boring with plain flashes of free violence that I guess were there just to shock the viewer and cover the lack of depth of this movie. It was very disappointing and rather violent with no sense and mingled in a , maybe, attempt to be original and to cover something you know nothing about.
It left a sense of emptiness and also exploitation of a such recent war. Maybe keeping the original language instead of forced English would have helped a bit but I doubt that. I am really surprised that a woman had the courage to direct this and place such a display of nothing.
This could have been a wonderful story and instead is just a festival of shocking images and moments that after a while get tiring and predicable.
The end was quite surprising and there again with a meaning of nothing.
This was probably the worst war- love movie I have ever seen and 127 minutes of life I could have used to do something more interesting.
