AFI FEST 2013 Movie Review: The Frigid And Soulless ‘Exhibition’

November 21, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

A title at the end reveals that Joanna Hogg’s third feature, Exhibition, is dedicated to the recently-late architect James Melvin, which should come as no surprise since the film is as much a portrait of the sleek, modernist Kensington townhouse in which it is almost exclusively set, as of the mildly dysfunctional marriage that resides […]

AFI FEST 2013 Movie Review: ‘When Evening Falls On Bucharest Or Metabolism’

November 21, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

Chistian Porumboiu ups the formal rigour of his last, Police, Adjective (2009), with When Evening Falls On Bucharest Or Metabolism; a film composed of 17 shots, most capturing conversations for a full reel’s 11 minutes, and filmed with an almost entirely static camera. His subjects are film director Paul and his actor and new bedmate […]

November 16, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

Agnès Varda has cited Documenteur as her favourite of her own films, presumably because even more than The Beaches of Agnes (2008), it is her most personal and most emotional. She was apart from her husband Demy on her second trip to Los Angeles, at the start of the ‘80s, to develop a script (turned […]

AFI FEST 2013 Movie Review: The Extravagant Claims Of ‘R100’

November 15, 2013 by Tom von Logue Newth

The title R100 is a joke on the ratings system because director Hitoshi Matsumoto (Big Man Japan, 1997) claims that no-one who has not lived a century will understand this film. Such a pronouncement is in keeping with the striving absurdity of the movie, which is frequently funny, but overall a slightly laboured litany of […]
