A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
~ Stanley Kubrick
IN A BETTER WORLD (2010) — What makes the friendship between Christian and Elias so special is how deeply and honestly Susanne Bier displays the emotional side of both children. Only by peering the eyes of the two actors, I can feel the all emotional reasons why they become such small terrorists. YOUNG TÖRLESS (1966) — Violence is not just a physical matter, but also psychological and emotional. In Young Törless, ethical ​​and subjective values ​​were so contradictory. Then the boundaries between good and evil even more vague. PHARAOH (1966) — Faraon is an evocative anatopism, also an astonishing colossal. A truly rare gem of its kind. Not only works as a visual declaration, Kawalerowicz also made it so carefully, so mesmerizing, yet so challenging. THE BOYS OF PAUL STREET (1969) — An ironic allegory not only for the face of war, but also the heart of it: militarism and nationalism. The irony in the end makes the two terminologies be absurd. SPIRITED AWAY (2001) — “What's in a name?” asked Shakespeare. “A name is an identity,” said this movie. MISS JULIE (1951) - Miss Julie is a very challenging study, whether psychological or situational. In a simple but smart way, Miss Julie presents the phases of a political game of love and seduction. MY NIGHT AT MAUD'S (1969) - Éric Rohmer not only talk about choices and risks of choices, there is also a glimpse the importance of choices and the pain of choices. My Night at Maud's, for me, is the most amazing movie about refracting those two opposing aspects of life. TEN (2002) — The use of "dashboard camera" method by Abbas Kiarostami is successfully providing such microscopic spectacle about the characters, not only on outside but also capable of making this movie as a unique character and gender study. THE PARTY AND THE GUESTS / A REPORT ON THE PARTY AND THE GUESTS (1966) — The allegory is not only the great thing about this Czechoslovak New Wave Cinema movie, but also its weirdness, its unnatural behavior, its peculiar plot, but the most of it is about how the movie smartly move without caution. ELEPHANT (2003) — Elephant is a piece of work that should be commended for its bravery. Such compliments are mainly intended to for Gus Van Sant's guts on using such non-linear and unusual narrative spectacle. Also packed with such unnatural risky styles which was really cost lot of guts.

Daybreakers

TULISAN INI MUNGKIN MENGANDUNG SPOILER!
Oleh: Rio Johan (Rijon)Sutradara: Michael Spierig & Peter Spierig
Pemain: Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Claudia Karvan, Sam Neill, Michael Dorman, Isabel Lucas, Vince Colosimo, Robyn Moore

Tahun Rilis: 2010

Setelah sebelumnya kisah seputar vampir dibawa ke level “mimpi basah ABG” dalam Twilight Saga, kali cerita vampir dibawa ke level gore-futuristik oleh dua sutradara Australia. Seharusnya Daybreakers bisa jadi alternatif menyegarkan setelah sebelumnya cerita vampir dijejali kekonyolan, ketidakpentingan, dan ketidakjelasan ala film-film ABG. Pertanyaannya: “Kenapa nama hero di film gore ini harus Edward pula?”

Tahun Rilis: 1997

Dalam dunia futuristik Gattaca yang berlatar “the not-so-distant future” (masa depan yang tidak begitu jauh), bioteknologi sudah berkembang pesat—lebih pesat dari 2010 ini. Di masa ini rekayasa genetika sudah legal, bahkan berperan penting dalam penentuan status sosial. Bayi-bayi diproduksi secara berkala dengan spesifikasi tertentu sesuai kebutuhan. Bukan masa depan yang sempurna, tentu, tapi sebagai hasilnya, Gattaca tidak menjadi sekedar sci-fi thriller, lebih jauh lagi, Gattaca adalah sebuah kisah ketika sains sudah berjalan melampaui batasan moral dan etika.

Before Sunset

TULISAN INI MUNGKIN MENGANDUNG SPOILER!
Oleh: Rio Johan (Rijon)
Sutradara: Richard Linklater
Pemain: Ethan Hawke & Julie Delpy

Tahun Rilis: 2004

Film ini adalah sequel dari “Before Sunrise” (1995).

Saya belum pernah nonton “Before Sunrise.” Walaupun begitu, sequel-nya ini ternyata tidak membuat saya hilang arah. Nyatanya, saya justru mendapat gambaran garis besar dari “Before Sunrise.” Dan karena saya belum nonton “Before Sunrise,” saya tidak akan membandingkan kedua film itu.
