Glocken aus der Tiefe - Glaube und Aberglaube in Rußland (1993)
Another surreal and beautiful documentary from Herzog
Bells From The Deep is a fabulous look at the faith and superstitions of human beings living in Russia and Siberia. Herzog quietly observes his subjects and never appears obtrusive. The camera of Jorg Schmit-Reitwen (Heart of Glass, Kaspur Hauser) captures many incredible moments as Herzog and crew move from one subject to another with grace and wonder. Herzog never questions or dissects his subjects rituals or beliefs, rather observes and embraces them for all they are. As with all of his documentaries and features, Herzog peers into the soul of the most complex and simplistic elements of the human condition to discover an often surreal and beautiful inner dynamic. Elements of this film recall themes within Heart of Glass and many of his other works. Once again, the great Werner Herzog introduces us to a world unseen. A world of warm, unique, and strangely beautiful individuals and gives them a medium in which to share their personal existences, experiences, and dreams to the world.
Identity (2003)
Hollywood's Identity Crisis
Sadly, it seems the most mundane films are coming out of Hollywood these days. In attempt to take another stab at the psychological-thriller, "Identity" falls right into it's cliche. Decent performances from solid supporting characters like John C. McGinley, Ray Liotta, and John Cusack. Regardless of James Mangold force-feedings of tension, the viewer remains sustained and some what engaged. And like most films currently of its kind, the script crumbles towards its end, and choosing the path of poor and desperate closure. In a film whose ending demeans itself with the common lack-luster twist, as well as the viewers expectations, try not to be the next victim.
Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
Friends, sometimes we must all let down our guard....
Friends, at time we must let down our guard. They're many people who browse threw our beloved film site that are cinestes and novices a like. Sometimes, you have to let a creative mind break away from his current patterns and take a breath of fresh air, and that is what is going on in P.T. Anderson's Punch-Drunk Love. In a genre that usually offers the same over-sentimental and souless stories, this film is truly an exception. Life and relationships are just as quirky as the story and characters in this film.These characters, as with all Anderson's films, are all of us and none of us.The Jon Br. It is always important to have fun at time in this business. At times, it is important to revitilize your style,career, or even your life....and that goes for Adam Sandler and PT Anderson alike. If you are tastefull enough to enjoy Godard's "Breathless" and sat through "Serendipity", this is the film for us crazy lonely hearts.
