Kyle's review
based on the title alone: A documentary about an avant garde artist
from Poland. She had a tough childhood which is reflected in her
post modern finger painting. She takes herself very seriously and so should
you. 4/5 My kid could do that’s.
According to IMDB: "A documentary that follows the Serbian performance artist as she prepares for a retrospective of her work at The Museum of Modern Art in New York."
What DeeDee thought: An excellent documentary to watch for people who don't really 'get' performance art. This was in some ways me, or at least I was someone who hadn't given performance art much thought.
Kyle's review based on the title alone: Josephine Merrick was born with severe deformities all over her body but her face remained untouched by her condition and she retained A Women’s Face. An interesting film but it felt a little over burdened with excess parts. 3/5 Elephant People.
According to IMDB: "A female blackmailer with a disfiguring facial scar meets a plastic surgeon who offers her the possibility of looking like a normal woman."
What DeeDee thought: Personally, I preferred her face before the surgery. The built-in Elvis lip was pretty badass.
Tomorrow 4:30pm @ the Kino
Kyle's review based on the title alone: A documentary about the day after 9/11. Features interviews with firefighters, survivors, widows and Gilbert Gottfried making jokes about the tragedy. 3/5 Toosoons.
According to MIFF: "Revered by the likes of Banksy and Brian Eno, the members of Russian
collective Voina (War) have gained notoriety for public ‘actions’ that
have landed their leaders in jail. In Tomorrow filmmaker and
former ice-dancing champion Andrey Gryazev embeds himself with the group
to create this fly-on-the-wall documentary focusing on Voina’s
founders, Oleg Vorotnikov (known as Vor) and Natalia Sokol (known as
Koza), along with their two-year-old son Kasper, who accompanies them on
all of their actions."
What DeeDee thought: Well, that's nice Banksy & Eno, but I mostly just thought that these people were arseholes. And goddamn Kyle, I knew you'd find a way to sneak Gottfried on here!
Kyle's review based on the title alone: Not your typical romantic comedy, oh no, this one is European so it’s smart and arty, plus they are speaking in foreign so you have to read. A film so people who want to watch trash but are just too pretentious. 1/5 sophisticates.
According to IMDB: "Georges and Anne are in their eighties. They are cultivated, retired music teachers. Their daughter, who is also a musician, lives abroad with her family. One day, Anne has an attack. The couple's bond of love is severely tested"
What DeeDee thought: A topic I spend way too much time thinking/crying about. Devastatingly realistic.
Alps 9pm @
the Forum
Kyle's review based on the title alone: A group of American teenagers head to the Swiss Alps on holidays. Good times and merriment await them in a quaint log cabin, but that’s not all that’s waiting. Cabin fever feat. snow. 2/5 Cheese holes.
According to IMDB: "A group of people start a business where they impersonate the recently deceased in order to help their clients through the grieving process."
What DeeDee thought: Nowhere near as good as I'd hoped it would be. Some amusing moments, but I wasn't there for the funny.
