Thing To Write On Tombstones

BERLIN BERLIN BERLIN


One of the good things about a festival that mixes a lot. Like today, for example. An Indian film in the Forum, an Israeli film in the competition, a special film in English, a documentary about art? in Forum Expanded. A varied menu for different tastes, while recognizing that none of the four dishes was completely satisfactory
the most, Patang Indian film / The Comet, the first film of a young director, Prashant Bhargava. With the excuse of a father and a teenaged daughter who returns to the city of Ahmedabad, after living long time in Delhi, to spend the two days of the Feast of the Comet, built a kind of puzzle of characters with outstanding stories. But this is a topic rather than seen and known, is in the film that, an excuse to show a documentary about how and why that particular party that fills the sky with kites of all colors.
The Israeli film in the competition, Odem, lipstick, Sagall Jonathan, is a melodrama without melo and without drama. I mean, the story is about a Venezuelan soap opera: London today, the day your birthday, Lara receives a visit from her friend Inam. This meeting awakens in them the memory of two crucial moments of his life: his arrival in London, where they shared their own love and the love of a teacher of English and more distant memory Ramalha when two Palestinian youths lived a traumatic experience in Jerusalem that each remembers differently. The problem, because there is a problem, is that everything is cold, gray, frozen, unambiguous, without shades. It's a perfect film for Americans to make a lot of melodrama to mourn with Julia Roberts to star. Incidentally, the actress who plays muho Inam seems to Julia, so one might well imagine.
The third course of this menu is a luxury telefilm Isabella Rossellini jury president and William Hurt. It's so sappy and is about to fall many times in the ridiculous, not provoke, that ends up being even funny. It's called something like last time.
dessert, No, Global Tour, Sierra Salvador, not much I can say. A documentary of the transfer and assembly of the two letters NO from one city to another without much interest. At least for me.
