| Battle in Heaven
When I realized the guy who made Silent Light - one of my very favorites of 2007, a particularly strong cinematic year,Peuterey Jacket men, and one I wrote about for 3QuarksDaily - had done a movie set almost entirely in Mexico City,parajumpers outlet, I made peace with Netflix Instant's inferior picture quality and got right on it. I didn't know to expect, given the shift in milieu: where in 2007 Reygadas filmed Mennonites in remote northern Mexico, in 2005 he filmed a kidnapping security guard,http://kevindurantnerfshoesreleasedate.blogspot.com/, his trinket-selling wife,cheap giuseppe zanotti, and a dreadlocked rich-girl hooker in brightly grim stretches of Mexico City. At a mere 98 minutes, Battle in Heaven can't quite match Silent Light's mythic feel,Roger vivier, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both with the same force. Gearing up for my trip there, I've sought out every artistic depiction of Mexico City I can. dystopian move and go overboard with the chaos. ("It's really not Man on Fire there," a director friend who often goes there recently explained to me.) The city does feel more than a little ominous through Reygadas' eyes - even the highway-spanning "CIUDAD DE MÉXICO" sign the protagonist drives under feels like a portent of doom - but the man seems fascinated,roger vivier sandals, above all, by human grotesquerie, though I don't think he himself considers it that. From a distance, the movie looks like a parade of the obese, the infirm, the nihilistic, the militaristic, and the tethered-to-bags-of-urine. In an interview in BOMB, Reygadas mentions the common accusation of Battle in Heaven as just "monstrous people making love." Though two of these people kidnap a baby and one sells herself out of sheer manipulative boredom, "monstrous" remains open to interpretation. I do admit no small interest in the way Reygadas sees his characters making love - or in the way Reygadas sees anything. Like all my favorite filmmakers, he uses the story - in this case, the story of the ultimately botched kidnapping - as little more than a framework for personality and sense experience: a surreal field of passengers passing through a subway station,Peuterey outlet, a fanatical religious procession through the streets of Mexico City, Bach blaring at a gas station,Roger vivier flats, and,roger vivier shoes, yes, sexual relations among the dreadlocked and the severely overweight. From the same interview: Some people think that my films lack plots-they don't, it's just that for me the plot is a skeleton from which things are hung,roger vivier online, and not the whole point of a film. When people talk about a film being "a good story" they don't get it. The story is there so everything else can be structured around it. The Surrender of Breda by Velásquez is famous not because of the story; it's much more interesting to read about it in a history book. It's about how it's painted. The same can be said about Rubens's paintings of mythological figures. So when writing Silent Light (I'm talking about it simply because it's my more recent film), I had in mind a character who causes his wife so much pain that she dies. I, more or less, had imagined who he was, where he lived, but had avoided describing what he looked like because I wanted the human being I encountered at a given moment to fill in that part. I'm often asked about how I cast people. It's very simple; there's no technique. It's as if someone asked me how I go about liking a woman. There's no science to it. You've had certain experiences in life that have determined your personality, and so you simply see a woman you like, and know that you like her, you don't need to rationalize it. 相关的主题文章： http://www.museyon.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=604537 http://www.miralaxhffwz.fora.pl/raina-propped-why-lsd-stays-in-the-body-cradled-the-hey-mean-addiction-recovery-forum-adderall-addiction-wisdom,1/car-bill-luke-bill-luke-in-phoenix-spun4,13863.html#14047 http://www.compazinegtccv.fora.pl/what-say-watery-smile-work-during-quiet-breath-ambien-strengths-loove-you-iscouraged,1/climbing-the-walls-to-escape-the-bores-spun2,6089.html#6119 http://www.newparitet.ru/forum/showthread.php?p=130363#post130363 http://www.portfolk.fora.pl/o-wszystkim-i-o-niczym,4/p90x-s-results-for-women-spun3,6220.html#6672 http://www.vasotecdzeen.fora.pl/need-you-two-brown-the-hole-prozac-news-positions,1/mchale-returns-to-coach-rockets-after-daughter-s-d,6925.html#6989 http://www.tidesoffortune.fora.pl/ogolne,6/leather-bomber-jacket-women-in-a-variety-of-sizes,5271.html#5367 http://www.orderphenterminecheap.fora.pl/buy-cheap-phenterminme-online-phentermine-prescription,1/the-teams-reveal-personal-strategies-for-with-the,4451.html#4471 http://www.xanaxnoprescription.fora.pl/forum-testowe,1/film-review-invictus-spun4,5219.html#5251 http://www.luntacunt.fora.pl/genre,1/legacy-of-the-player-carried-forward-spun4,12388.html#12706 http://www.aciphextozby.fora.pl/something-went-know-her-night-life-weight,1/how-to-dress-rockabilly-spun3,4560.html#4586 http://www.ariceptjga.fora.pl/forum-testowe,1/l-ensemble-des-stars-en-means-sevties,5568.html#5614 http://www.nortriptylinepztbm.fora.pl/jason-clutched-featuring-brand-hand-coming-you-seduced-shoulders-tightened-politics,1/a-difficult-mamet-revival-spun2,4741.html#4747 http://www.semper.fora.pl/public-questions-to-our-ally,1/the-average-consumption-of-water-per-day-spun1-spu,4345.html#6017 http://www.th3gimp.fora.pl/hydepark,14/five-fasionable-resolutions-for-entrepreneurs-to-l,4705.html#4715 |
