Frissons d'été
This short movie has made me reflect on the first horror essays that the grand writers of various cultures had written to awaken new sensations in people. This short movie has achieved just that. Space is wonderfully developed and creates an incredible suspense. The music awakens emotions and creates a cold atmosphere that will chill your spine while adding space a suspenseful atmosphere which does not reflect the actual clichés of cinematographic art. The lighting is relative to the scenes and certain lighting effects are added to torment the viewer. The length of time is well balanced and that results in the fact that the viewer does not remove his eyes from the screen nor does he loose sense of the mysterious universe which is created by the ambiance of the movie. The horror propels you into a cinematographic decor that is very brief, but do not let the length surprise you, sometimes, the greatest fear resides in incomprehension...You should see this short movie because it creates various strong emotions that you do not feel very often!
Lea (1996)
Each moment of the film exposes humanity to it's own existential romance...
Ivan Fila torments you into an oblivion of thoughts when you first watch Léa. What was avid of torment and nostalgia slowly evolves into meaningful bliss taking place in a reality where the exploration of one's self is a battle that can last a lifetime. In each second of the movie, you hear Léa speak inside her eyes when the colors of her mentality meet the mnemonic eyes of Strehlow. The movie propels you into one's view of the liberation of emotions by the means of artistic release, constantly gripping you into it's excruciation. Are you imprisoned by the past? The movie explores that theme without cynicism and without the actual clichés of current cinematographic creations. Each moment of the film exposes humanity to it's own existential romance in a way which will fascinate the viewer. Léa is a tormenting character, she will take whoever watches into her individuality, and let you share her freedom while being a prisoner of herself and others. A prisoner in whom you do not find speech, but liberation inside other means of expressions. Is love found by the means of words? Another question that elaborates the concept of romance. Lea should be seen, so that you see and feel a story, in which realities collide to form a union that separates the usual cliché from a new meaningful subsistence. The journey that is life, never ceases to continue in Lea: each must learn from hers or his own past to shine into the beauty of existence...
