  The Dark Knight

  by Elvira

  DO believe the hype. If I considered it to be a "comic book" film, I would also consider it one of the best films of the genre I've ever seen. But since I don't, I think it's quite simply one of the best films of the decade. Christopher Nolan's direction is excellent, and his idea of a Gotham City in crisis is dark, deep, and sophisticated. TDK refuses to be just an action film or to be confined within the standards of how profound "comic book" films can be. It's a film with substance, that speaks about good, evil, loss, and sacrifice if you listen close enough.
  
  Nolan stayed away from the Batman paraphernalia in favor of a more sober take on the famous technology and style surrounding the character, so Christian Bale looks unbearably badass lurking in the shadows of Gotham City and not just like some guy in a bat suit. In the same way, the chases and action scenes are not just a mess of random explosions in the background and dust clouds, they are spectacularly (but clearly) orchestrated and filmed, which makes them all the more realistic and exciting.
  
  Aaron Eckhart was a smart choice for Harvey Dent: he gives the character the drive and the nobility that it is written to have and keeps it in the eye of the story, well on the level of two other very powerful characters as are Batman and the Joker. Heath Ledger has been much-praised, even before the film was out at all, but certainly he has not been overpraised. He is stunning, fearless, disturbing, completely absorbed by the role, frightening because he seems to become the Joker. In a way, it comes through how emotionally demanding it must have been to play the embodiment of psychopathy: he walks, moves, speaks, smiles, laughs like the character would, so perfectly that it's mortifying. Even his eyes seem to be someone else's. So it is all true. It is an epic performance, with a force that reminded me of Klaus Kinski's almost deranged appearances in Herzog films, minus the fact that Kinski already had a very turbulent character. Maggie Gyllenhaal did a much, much better job than Katie Holmes as Rachel... and then there's Christian Bale, who's probably getting less attention than he deserves. He's the best Batman to date (in my opinion) because, and I hate that I use this adjective for each and every one of his performances, he's just selfless. Sometimes, when actors play this type of larger-than-life hero their own ego gets in the way and it seems that there's some of them in the character, that they are aware of themselves while they are acting, but this never happens with Bale. He just seems to develop this empathy for Bruce Wayne that allows him to have the right face at the right time, walk the right way, build a personality and quirks that could only belong to that character. Bruce Wayne is a taciturn man, committed, intelligent, and noble. But he is also a rather normal man, perhaps a little dark but not as dangerously conflicted as his enemies. So Bale doesn't exaggerate, his performance is humble but brilliant (or brilliant precisely because of that humility?), and I think that gives Batman what we need to see him as: the grounded, moral, trustworthy and yes SERIOUS figure among all the villains, who don't have principles or rules, and who stand for nothing but themselves. It happened to me often that after a gut-wrenching scene with the Joker, a scene with Bruce Wayne or Batman would follow and I would feel literally relieved. That's how good both actors were.
  
  What struck me the most about this particular story is that finally a "superhero" can be seen from a different perspective. More often than never, there's a superhero who crosses over to the dark side for a while and then comes back, proving to us that good can defeat evil in the end. The great thing is that Batman is not half-spider or from another planet or product of a chemical accident, he's just a really wealthy guy. But his principles and his conscience are so deep-rooted and powerful that he never does cross over, he stays loyal to himself and to his cause. And when he decides to assume the guilt for other people's crimes, he doesn't inspire pity or sadness: he does it with such dignity and confidence that one can only agree.
  
  Of course, I couldn't help leaving the theater somewhat haunted by Ledger's performance... his work here puts him among the greatest actors of any era, and it's difficult not to imagine all the fantastic films he could've done after this. So yeah maybe a few characters do not do an actor justice, I am sure Heath Ledger had all this talent and more, but this one will have to do, and how.
  
  It's all here, all the things that make a great movie that will go down in history. A freaking masterpiece.

  In the Name of the Father

  by Elvira

  This is a very strong film, very harsh. Jim Sheridan is really a director who doesn't get in the way of his story: he tells it like it is, with no free interpretations, and just the right amount of insights from the characters. Thanks to that very inobtrusive philosophy, the story of Gerry Conlon and his father comes through with great credibility and clarity, which makes it all the more easy to be enraged at the unbelievable injustices committed against them. Above all, it's a film that left me with a need to reflect and, somehow, appreciate what that real-life tragedy left as lesson to people in countries across the world.
  
  The film, often narrated in first person, is sober, collected, and precise, but not cold: Daniel Day-Lewis's flawless performance, as well as Pete Postlethwaite's and Emma Thompson's, is tridimensional, human enough to cause an immediate empathy, if not sympathy, for his character. None of the individuals depicted were perfect, and it would be challenging to relate to them if they were being described on a piece of paper, but the actors and actresses do such an amazing job that it's impossible not to. Daniel Day-Lewis inhabits his character and seems to follow him through his transgressions. He alone is worth the watch (as usual).
  
  In the Name of the Father is not only a very successful cry against injustice, but also one of the rare films that can approach the subject of the judicial system without having a lawyer with a coreography walking around the room or displaying an inaccessible latin vocabulary in front of the camera. In that sense, the film is not commonplace: it doesn't focus too long on the part of the tribunals, and when it does it is effective. That skillful narration and the poweful soundtrack, plus the amazing performances, make this film a worthy watch, and an obvious choice for anyone interested in Daniel Day-Lewis's not-very-extensive but excellent work.

  La Cienaga

  by Elvira

  La Cienaga is the story of two bourgeoise families on a summer vacation in their country house in Argentina. Alone, isolated from urban life, unavoidably close to each other, the family members face their own decadance as a group and push themselves, inentionally or not, to the the verge of complete domestic destruction. Nothing works: they don't understand each other, don't like each other, can't stand each other.
  
  The mother is sick, and so sick of life that she prefers to remain sick in bed rather than keep living like she used to. The father is an detached figure in a corner. The brothers and sisters are, of course, in the wake, the middle, or the end of adolescence, with all its respective problems and dilemmas. The other family contains a shallow, overworking mother, a taciturn, passive father, and their little children.
  
  The Swamp is crowded, and noisy; Lucrecia Martel perfectly translates the sticky and unconfortable sensation of humid hot weather, the smell of wet vegetation, dirty pools, brown-water rivers, and the phony cool of electric fans all over the place. All actors and actresses are excellent in their roles, and it's beautifully shot, making the most out of inanimate objects jus as well as characters doing superficial, day-to-day tasks, to create that unconfortable atmosphere of familiar-but-uncertain. Although it lacks a plot per se, there's an everpresent feeling that what is happening is leading someplace. Martel also masterfully creates sexual tension, loads of it, in a film where no sex takes place whatsoever, and where all the characters are, well, related. Regardless of whether it's awkward, Martel goes for it because it's real.
  
  La Cienaga a slow-paced, rambling study of the human condition that builds tension until the unavoidable ending. GREAT. One of the best Argentinian films I've seen.
