(500) Days of Summer - PG-13
|
|
Funny, enjoyable and charming. Despite losing its way a little towards the end, this film manages to capture the ups, downs and various shades of in between that go to make up a relationship. Some interesting twists and narrative devices keep you guessing (almost) until the end. As it says in the trailer: "This is not a love story. This is a story about love" - in all its richness and complexity.

Synecdoche, New York - R
|
|
Brain-meltingly strange and complex, Synecdoche, New York is (I think) an allegory of life and death, and the many and varied parts that we play and make for each other, as seen through the eyes - or perhaps the mind? - of fictional playwright Caden Cotard. It's art-house cinema meets Samuel Beckett: surreal, pretentious, baroque, brilliant, infuriating, fascinating, disturbing and uplifting in (almost) equal measure. See it, but don't expect to understand it.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - PG-13
|
|
Great film, although I'm not sure that Pitt's performance is worthy of an Oscar. A beautiful, funny and touching meditation on life, love, time, old age and death. At nearly three hours, it's not short, but I'd happily watch it all over again.

A beautifully simple story about how two people come together through music, and the events and responsibilities that are pulling them apart. With some great performances from the two principal actors which forms a moving and integral part of the storytelling, this is a film well worth watching.

Very thought provoking, very strange and very beautiful. Reminded me a lot of Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal in the way it deals with weighty themes from a highly personal perspective.
