Heaven (2002)
Forget the premise and take in the meaning
The performances by all lead & supporting actors in Heaven are strong. Of course, this includes Cate Blanchett and Giovanni Ribisi. The story is also presented with some arresting imagery and settings, from stark modern office towers to literal places of sanctuary in old Italian churches.
In terms of the themes explored, Heaven is something of a peer to the film Ravanche from Austria. Without getting into spoilers, several
important ideas are explored in this story.
What do grief/anger, justice/revenge, guilt/contrition, compassion/sentimentality, love/infatuation, redemption/escapism mean? Within the universe presented, what do consequences look like? What do those events have to teach us about our own values and the choices or judgements we make?
Primiti Too Taa (1989)
An inspiration
Seeing Primiti Too Taa at Cinematheque I'm Winnipeg inspired me to keep on laughing, learning, and caring about film, language, and this great adventure called life! A bit of Dr. Seuss and unconventional animation could be just what your brain needs to get over itself!
