Reviews
Five Star (2014)
Experience the journey into real life
Following this filmmaker from his first debut Welcome to Pine Hill. Five Star is his second feature, and it feels more mature and consistent sharp and clear in both concept and execution. The camera work takes you to the point of no return, evaporating borders between realities of true documentary style and narrative told with the language of real life. Filmed with first time actors, Director takes an advantage of true life experiences which captured by his camera. The camera just dives in and makes the film look more real than scripted. I watched this film on a big screen at TriBeCa FF at the sold out event last year, and I left the theater with the sense of deep satisfaction from what I had saw. Loved the film, and I would recommend it to the audience.
Angst (2013)
really great film
I viewed Angst at The Los Angeles International Short Film Festival. It is a none linear story about a man and a woman who are going through a complex relationship, who discover each other through a roller coaster of their feelings towards each other. Every time they discover something new and unexpected and the couple tries to find the balance internally to re connect with themselves and the external world.
The film is incredibly intense and captivating, yet it is also very calm and meditative. Like a feeling of love, It brings tones of contrast and wide range of emotions.
It is shot in a beautiful house whose interior complements the drama. Somehow, the house adds another in the film's scenes. The house propagates through the screen inside out, and I found myself sometimes hard to withdraw from the film, even after it was over.
The cinematography is amazing. Slow camera moves reminds creates a feel of a dream. It 's a non-linear structure suggests no end or beginning. All components complement accomplished director's vision. An eternal struggle of the couple which finds itself involved in the affair which has no end.
I would say that the film has complexity of Bergman and reminiscence of lightness of Jean-Louis Trintignant, and yet, it has something unique that you won't miss when you watch it.
I would highly recommend to watch Angst if you see it around.
