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.

BANYAK juga lo penonton film lokal yang bilang kalau film-film Indonesia kebanyakan “sampah.” Bukan hal baru lagi malah, coba cek forum-forum film lokal, atau blog-blog film amatiran, atau KASKUS, sebagai buktinya. Menurut saya, ada dua jenis film perusak perfilman Indonesia. Yang pertama adalah film-film buruk yang memang dari awal sudah diniatkan untuk jadi film buruk dan dari awal pun sudah ketahuan kalau itu film buruk. Dan yang kedua adalah film-film buruk yang berkedok / berpura-pura menjadi film baik padahal akhirnya sama saja buruknya dengan film-film buruk yang memang dari awal sudah diniatkan untuk jadi buruk. “Love and Edelweiss” termasuk kategori yang kedua.

Belum Cukup Umur

TULISAN INI MUNGKIN MENGANDUNG SPOILER!
Oleh: Rio Johan (Rijon)
Sutradara: Nayato Fio Nuala
Pemain: Joanna Alexandra, Zidni Adam, Mentari

Tahun Rilis: 2010

Siapakah Sutradara yang Paling Produktif di Negeri Ini?

NAYATO. Yap, Nayato Fio Naula jawaban pertanyaan di atas. Tahun 2009 kemarin Nayato Fio Naula, alias Koya Pagayo, alias Pinkan Utari, alias Ian Jacobs, alias Chiska Doppert, (heran, kenapa sutradara tercinta ini tampaknya hobi sekali menyamar-nyamar) berhasil membuktikan produktivitas dirinya dengan menelurkan lima film sekaligus: “Kuntilanak Beranak”, “Pocong Jalan Blora”, “Jeritan Kuntilanak”, “Virgin 2: Bukan Film Porno”, dan “Putih Abu-abu dan Sepatu Kets” (dengan nama yang berbeda-beda, tentunya). Maka tahun 2010 ini Nayato tidak mau kalah, belum sampai setengah tahun sutradara tercinta ini sudah menelurkan lima judul film (yang kebanyakan tentang eseks-eseks remaja): “18+”, “Belum Cukup Umur”, “Affair”, “Terekam” (walau katanya sih, Nayato cuma sebagai editor), dan yang paling anyar “Akibat Pergaulan Bebas”.
