World Cinema Series 2011: Deep End

I clicked on THIS and went, "I NEED TO WATCH THIS!"

Deep End | Jerzy Skolimowski | 1970 | Germany, USA | 89 min

Don't really know much about this movie. Plain and simple, I'm a sucker for foreign movies. Googled for more info and VOILA!

15 year old Mike works at a swimming pool. Obessessed with Susan, who also works there. Problem is, Susan is engaged but Mike still wants her. What do you get? Deep End.

I think it's pretty interesting that Deep End got shelved barely after it was released. Was it that bad? Kinda reminds me of all those awesome movies we didn't get to watch cause it didn't reach our shores (can/do we blame censorship?) which ultimately means, "Sorry folks, won't be showing that movie in our theatres." Time to go find an 'alternative' if you really want to watch the movie.

Here's some pretty photos cause I'm a visual creature. I'm a Libran for goodness sake!






Anyone want to watch this with me? :D

Submarine

Because I'm in love with a movie I haven't seen.

Typical.

This is a picspam.

I'm obsessed.

Oliver met Jordana under a bridge.

Many thanks to Julian for thinking the lead actress hair looks like mine when I had a bob (thus introducing the movie to me). I miss my bob. I miss being Zelda. But I intend to channel Francoise in 2011.

All Good Things [Movie]

I love it when I enter a theatre without knowing what I'm going to watch but I end up enjoying the movie. It enhances the viewing experience because (1) you have no clue what you signed up for (2) it can potentially be awesome OR horrendous (3) shit did I waste my money on the movie ticket.

We had time to kill. Watching a movie seems like a good idea. Everything was selling fast since it's a Friday night. I chose All Good Things. Simple. Ryan Gosling. The man is flawless. I'm not a fan but damn, I'm seriously intrigued by him. I don't think anyone can fully explain his allure.

I must admit. The movie was slow. If you're impatient, chances are, you're going to walk out of the cinema. Which a couple of people did. Totally unfair. I'm pretty sure they've sat through much more terrible movies than this. The dude who sat beside me exclaimed, "That's it?! Am I supposed to wait for a sequeal?!" when the credits appeared. No douche, it's over. Use your imagination - if you have one.

I personally love the cinematography albeit slightly haphazard. Especially during the beginning, when it's only David and Katie. Falling in love. Very beautifully done. If I'm screencapping the scenes in my head - I think it's an indication, it's kinda great.

If you notice, I didn't talk about the storyline. I'm pretty sure you can get it at IMDB.

Verdict: ♥♥♥ 1/2

This is a pseudo-movie review. I'm very bad at writing essays. What makes you think I'll be fabulous at reviews.
