Likeness (2013)
Strong and important
Wow.
A powerful and moving depiction of the young female psyche confused and fractured by mental illness. When I first stumbled upon this short film I re-watched it probably four times, I was so mesmerized and pummelled by the emotional impact what I had seen - it put into images what cannot be said in words, which I think is ultimately the most powerful tool of filmmaking. The mix of alluring and destructive is eerie, as the mix of imagery gets more and more chaotic and out of hand until reaching a breaking point. It felt like such an honest and ultimately heartbreaking depiction of the loneliness that is mental illness, often misunderstood and harshly judged.
La grande bellezza (2013)
great beauty!!!
Ooooh!
I am so happy there is cinema like this being made, for the pure joy of filmmaking, imagery and the possible excess of it all. It is anode to all the good, the "bad" the questionable, the repugnant and lovely and I was thoroughly engrossed and enraptured by it all.
it just brings a smile to my face thinking about it. the performances, cinematography, and writing is all so genially done.
The Great Beauty is simply a wonderful and heartfelt ode to storytelling, life, Italy and Cinema. Highly recommend to fans of any kind of movie-making
