Yesterday I watched Hellstrom Chronicle (1971), and literally I just watched because as darkness filled the theatre I realized it was dubbed in finnish with swedish subtitles. Maybe now I should read the movie subtitles to create an asynchronous movie experience. However, not everything was lost, the movie has very good insects scenes. I’ll try to watch it again at some point. Here the first minutes of the film (in english):
I saw today Paranoid Park, directed by Gus Van Sant. The movie is built around skateboarding and it has a few videos which, for big skate fan like me, are just beautiful! Enjoy them…
Saturday I went to see Control again… so good!
“El Laberinto del Fauno” is a spanish/mexican production written and directed by the mexican Guillermo del Toro. The story takes place somewhere in Spain, five years after the Civil War. The fight between the rebels and the army is the background of a fantasy story where Ofelia, a young girl very passionate about fairy tales, is the main character. The story keeps the same rhythm through all the movie and the multiple story lines are very well connected without excessive grasping to any story, character or fact. I also enjoyed the “fight” between the innocence of Ofelia and the hate in the real world.
