Swimming Pool (2003)

Other film by François Ozon (the period in which I can not go to the movies, the days are too beautiful, nature is blooming and I have a new camera!) . London

writer of detective novels in a crisis of inspiration decided to accept the offer of his publisher with whom he has a relationship to spend time alone in her villa with swimming pool located in the French countryside.

During the stay relaxing and solitary, to break and disturb the tranquility of the woman, Julie arrives, young and reckless daughter its publisher. Start living a difficult beginning, then an accomplice. The woman will be able to carry out "his most personal novel," mainly due to the relationship with the young Julie.

Hip final.

Film halfway between the yellow and the introspective, when what really interests the director is to describe the personalities of the two women, so opposite and yet so close to touching them. But besides this, Ozon deals with artistic inspiration, and detachment from reality that characterizes the lives of many artists. Rejoining the film to his next film Angel, in which the theme of reality and imagination are still a When faced with understanding and empathy (and most likely with a good dose of autobiography).

The shots are well researched and fascinating Swimming Pool, silences and gestures of the protagonist (again Charlotte Rampling) are perfect and Ozon is reconfirmed great connoisseur of the feminine in all its forms, from sexual drives up to eating disorders.

Film dense and incredibly complete.

All or Nothing (2002) Alice in Wonderland

British film director Mike Leigh, a member of the English neo-realism.

the center of the events three families who live in the suburbs of London, a particular focus on everyday life is given to Phil and Penny and their two children.

This director has the capacity to make the characters human beings, very human, so human as to cause the viewer often embarrassed, as if peering into someone else's life. The environment in which they live, unlike Ken Loach does not have a clear position of the complaint but is intrinsic in certain images and in certain situations: the great popular buildings, roads bleak suburban environment, work without the possibility of empowerment and career, poverty and daily survival, and so on. So what Leigh is not an immediate social commitment, but absolutely deductible. To act as prominently in his films are stories of love and affection, those you live within that context, but which are universal and adaptable to any environment. The dynamics between characters are never explicit, the characters express themselves more through bad language, glances, gestures and behavior. Nothing is explained, but only intuition and finally understood why his very human. The hugs and tears, the screams and slammed doors, are nothing but dumb feelings, expressed through the back door. And in these words is contained the evil to live, inadequate to humble a condition impossible to accept, and difficult to apply and give love actually caused by the context in which we live. But at the end of all his films, Leigh gives us a hope, and this film is no exception.
