la vie d'adèle / blue is the warmest colour | 2013

Resultat d'imatges de la vie d'adèle




Winner of the Palme d'Or in the Cannes film festival, this movie which is three hours long shows a sad and moving story about a girl, Adèle that discovers herself.

As said the film is about the early life of a girl that is trying to discover her, her feelings, her sexuality. She experiments and tries to not be depressed as she is with a boy, but then she falls in love with a girl... that is going to change her life. Even though she loves that girl, she still feels lonely and kind of depressed, let's say she isn't totally happy. 

This is a journey of discovering, falling in love, crying, experimenting... a masterpiece that shows all the stages of a relationship and all the struggles of a girl that does not know, clearly, what she wants in life. It has explicit sex scenes, the blue color is present in nearly every scene, explicit or implicit, but it is. Both Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos offer sensational perfomances that really make you believe and suffer as they do. 

This is, for sure, one of the movies that could have been nominated for best foreign film in the 2014 Oscars but as it was released on october 9 it won't.

joker | 2019

Is Joaquin Phoenix's performance of the Joker worth an Oscar nomination? Yes. Ok, but, besides that, why is everybody so hyped by this film? Because we've seen a movie with plenty of superheroes hit the box office this year and now, six months later, just one man, a villain, is stealing the whole show. The one thing that hyped me the most was reading, when the movie premiered at the Venice Film Festival back in September, that this movie didn't have special effects, that it was organic.   I know, I'm not going to say anything you've already read on any film magazine or twitter, instagram or your friends may have commented but I needed to post this.  Joker is a movie that is undoubtedly influenced by Scorsese's films, such as Taxi Driver (1976) and presents a Gotham that reminds us of the 1970's New York. One of the things I liked the most is the contextualisation of the action, because it helped to understand and empathize with Arthur Fleck, the...

about time | 2013

What would you do if you had a second chance to live again the moments you've already lived? Probably the answer is that you would try and change the things you did wrong and try and do better the ones you did right.  With this movie, that apparently may seem another romantic comedy from Hollywood, Richard Curtis makes us think of  "time". The time we live and how we live it and how could a normal person use it to live.  At first, Tim, the protagonist, repeats over and over all the things he has lived to change the things he did wrong, after he does it to fall in love with a girl and also to repeat many other things that make this movie a magic movie about time and all of its connotations. The spectator just thinks of how much we need to valorate and live our life because we only have one and we cannot reherse all our steps in this life and then live it again in a perfect way...  The film has something magic, with a great story and performance...

julieta | 2016

"Julieta", by Pedro Almodóvar is a movie that I didn't plan to watch and I think that, as it has happened to me with the few last movies I've watched, it gave me a valuable lesson about life,  family, friends, in fact about us, humans.  Julieta is a humanist, she teaches ancient greek culture (literature and mythology) when, in a train,  she meets "prónos" a man named Xoan, who is a fisherman from the north of Spain that will change her hole life. They become a family when Artía, their daughter, is born and their story seems to be perfect.  Nevertheless one day, everything changes, because Julieta discovers that his husband, Xoan has been always seeing her previous wife best friend and spending some days with her when Julieta was visting her parents. That day, Xoan leaves forever and Julieta has to deal with her daughter and the guilt of the situation.  Even though Artía seems to understand and help out her mother in everything with no c...
