Violet perfume. Nobody hears you. 2001. Mexico.
9/10
A young girl is enrolled at a new school and makes friends with another young girl. The girls get along but the new one is from a poor family. The other lives a modest life with her mother who works in a shoe store. It contrasts their lives in a very pointed way, one mother is a protective and loving, the other is constantly angry and stressed. After the poor girl is set up by her step brother and raped, her behaviour gets worse. At this point it could become a revenge film with the nice girl helping her new friend. But it doesn't. It shows the reality of behaviour that comes next. Excellent drama with a 90 minute run time that stays focused on a small cast with a growing sense of dread.
 
L Ombra Di Caravaggio. (The shadow of Caravaggio) 2022. Italy.
6/10
A passionate artist true to himself.
Depicts the last few years of Caravaggio, told in flashbacks while a bloke working for the state is trying to track him down by putting pressure on those who knew him.
A solid depiction with an authentic feel. Shows his love for life and art as well as his continual conflict with the church. Starts off with a flurry of activity but does get kinda bogged down with alot of conversations. Shows a few of his paintings and how they were posed with models.
 
Rebel. 2022. Belgium.
8/10
A immigrant in Europe goes to Syria to help, but gets caught up with Islamic State.
Well thought out portrayal of life as a muslim immigrant in a european country, (Belgium.) who goes to Syria to help his fellow muslims in the war against the government. Things take a dramatic turn for the worse when Islamic State capture where he is and he is forced to join. Back in europe, his mother is trying to raise his younger brother (12) by herself and fend off attempts to radicalize him.
There is alot going on in the film, from several different perspectives. The action is intense and graphic. It really does show the chaotic nature of war and the ultra one sided view people have when there in the thick out it. Anything featuring Islamic State is pretty spot on, the executions/propaganda, the strict enforcement of 'rules' and the blind eye to double standards. The mother trying to protect her younger son was the softer part of the film but carried some weight. Near the end it did veer off a little, but overall a very solid drama that wasn't afraid to show the brutal truth.
 
Close to Vermeer. 2023.
7/10
Doco about the exhibition of most of the Vermeer paintings. Sets up the painter as someone whose paintings are well known in pop culture, but very little is known about him.
Could be seen as just a bunch a aloof idiots drooling over paintings, to a degree it is. But when the doco slowlys shows the close up of the paintings, gives the level of gravity when you have national gallerys deciding to lends these, an announcement that one painting is not by Vermeer.
It adds a sense of grandiose that feels natural and not contrived.
 
Heavenly creatures. 1994.
6/10
Parker/Hulme girls murder one of there mothers.
Based on the true story from 1953 New Zealand, does a good job at at setting up the motivation and connection between the girls. Being a psychological type crime film, it does lack a visual evil on behalf of at least one of the girls. The films Don't deliver us from evil and Poison for the fairies are said to be inspired by this crime.
 
The conversation. 1974.
6/10.
A bloke is hired to record a conversation between two people. But when he listens to it, he discovers things aren't adding up.
Interesting film by F.F.Coppola. Slow but compelling. The film starts with the recording being done, it shows all the outside noise and interference. Quiet and reserved, Gene Hackman's character is the main focus with a few other minor parts. Paranoid drama more than thriller, it shows a man at that top of his game that gets in a little too deep.
