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.

The Others
TULISAN INI MUNGKIN MENGANDUNG SPOILER!
Oleh: Rio Johan (Rijon)
Sutradara: Alejandro Amenábar
Pemain: Nicole Kidman, Fionnula Flanagan, Christopher Eccleston, Elaine Cassidy, Eric Sykes, Alakina Mann, James Bentley
Tahun Rilis: 2001
Saya bingung bagaimana harus memulai resensi The Others ini. The Others adalah sebuah horor psikologis (psychological horror) dari Alejandro Amenábar, sutradara yang membesut Abre los ojos dan Mar adentro (yang keduanya sangat saya suka). Berbeda dengan horror-horror konvensional (konvensional dalam standar modern ini). The Others bukan tipikal horror yang bertopang pada gore dan suara penuh sensasi, tapi lebih kepada situasi, story, dan misteri.

Diadaptasi dari buku Nine karya Arthur Kopit.
Seringnya kita tahu, dengan melihat poster, nama sutradara, atau nama pemain, kalau film tertentu adalah film yang buruk, atau sebaliknya. Tapi tidak jarang juga kita tertipu oleh sebuah judul film yang sepertinya bakal dipuja-puji kritikus bahkan sukses di festival. Nine salah satunya.

Cold Mountain
TULISAN INI MUNGKIN MENGANDUNG SPOILER!
Oleh: Rio Johan (Rijon)
Sutradara: Anthony Minghella
Pemain: Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Renée Zellweger, Eileen Atkins, Kathy Baker, Brendan Gleeson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Charlie Hunnam, Natalie Portman, Giovanni Ribisi, Donald Sutherland, James Gammon, Jack White, Ethan Suplee
Tahun Rilis: 2003
Film ini diangkat dari novel “Cold Mountain” karya Charles Frazier.
DRAMA berlatar perang memang tipe-tipe film yang selalu jadi incaran saya, seperti film bikinan almarhum Anthony Minghella ini misalnya, sutradara “The English Patient” dan “The Talented Mr. Ripley”. Apa saja yang dilakukan Minghella di film ini memang bakal mengingatkan kembali pada “The English Patient”.
