Women In Nylon Stockings

Les Herbes Folles.


Thanks to the interest of the Russian formalists to discern in what was characterized all poetry, Shlovsky, one of the most recognized formalist, formulated a concept that seemed to make the difference between everyday language and the poetic. It was the estrangement. This concept is defined as the art was getting to weird objects, make them special desautomatizarlos and give one or more new meanings. In the words of Sholosvky
" create complex shapes, increasing the difficulty and extent of perception, since, in aesthetics, the process of perception is an end in itself and, therefore, should be extended "
words, the estrangement is singling. It is the transfer between the conventional and special. But there is another concept that I believe relevant formal remark: The reason. Tomas hevsky thought that everything was not essential in a narrative was a reason.

Therefore, it is not insignificant that a creator as unique as itself as Alain Resnais formalistic. If you look at his latest film, Les Herbes Folles, we see how history can turn a conventional appearance (A man who becomes obsessed by a woman) into something much more special by staging (estrangement). Resnais achieves nothing obvious narrative solutions, as if to the story, in form and, therefore, in the background, constantly flee so than usual as the rational. His characters are left to form, acting on impulse and work at times seems to focus on reasons (be it a dream or a digression in the narrative).

His genius for the handling of film language, since the camera moves to the use of color in each scene, allows you to recreate a particular universe, random, beautiful, mysterious, playing with the projection of the imaginations of the characters, with a dreamlike nothing obvious. Each scene seems ready to impress an experiment in form and challenge the viewer. About

What Do They Call Milena Velba's Mother

This Time Tomorrow (1) Original and Copy

Before Sunrise (Richard Linklater, 1995) and atardcer Before (Richard Linklater, 2004)


At the end of Before dawn, Linklater ended his film with a series of shots that picked the places that the main couple had walked on that special day in Vienna .. What he was doing was, in some Thus, stress and establish an emotional link between the landscape, players and spectators themselves. The two final plans showing us the couple separately and represents a parallel reaction. A response confirming the audience that day had turned definitely in the most precious memories of their lives. A memory in which space, place (Vienna) and time (one of the key factors of its sequel, Before Sunset) is contstituyen as important as the situation (flirting, long conversations, etc. .. among two).
At the beginning of Before Sunset, the filmmaker used the same narrative strategy, the same idea but using it as a prologue and epilogue not like: We watch as Linklater made a map of the locations, a selection of key parts of the film not only as a way to dialogue with its predecessor, but as a way to express ourselves and say that this reunion will be special. An encounter in which the projections of the two (and the film, as a consequence, it is also projecting above), affected by the great memories will be more important than ever.

Radio Control Cruise Ships




Now that we are ending 2010 and that during the past two months have been released in Spain two of the most interesting films of the year, I think the relevant point a couple of ideas.

The two films in question: Certified Copy (Abbas Kiarostami, 2010) and Uncle Boonmee remember their past lives (Apitchatpong Weerasethakul) share two important points: The two are almost boundless in terms of possible interpretations and both the idea of reincarnation, an aspect that explain from what was said by Carlos Losilla in Cahiers December 2010 on Uncle Boonma

"From that perspective, reincarnation is also a mirror, an image that is reproduced in another which in turn points to the first without being the same. And the ghosts are double of the living, which endure over time "

certified copy of a woman and a man, apparently unknown, begin seduced by a series conversations. At one point, an subtle shift and confusing (but excellent) in which, apparently, in reality it is a marriage which is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary as a reunion at the same place where it began, weaving a kind of simulacrum of the past. More or less this would summary, although the film leaves a way open for reading the pair, in fact, they just met and is pretending.

If we stick to the words of Losi, we can find in their palabas Weerasethakul's film about the interpretation of Kiarostami. Take the idea of \u200b\u200breincarnation and substitute for the original concept / copy that appears throughout the film, Kiarostami. In a way, we're talking about reincarnation when the couple tries to relive the past, failing in the attempt to transform it into a present more ominous and melancholy. Or using the words of Losi, we could say that the pair is the image that recalls the former without being the same. But the key and the sophistication of Certified Copy comes just as posed by debate about whether it is true that we are not the same, or if, conversely, are the same pair with a different perception, a perception affected by time and space (Apparently, man has always found away from his supposed son and his alleged wife). That is, if the original (the couple in the past) becomes a perfect copy or sinking in an attempt (the couple in the present).


If we go beyond the appointment of Losi, we can interpret the two couples (or even sculpture of lovers of the town square), the young and the old man, who the main characters Certified Copy is as different mirrors that evokes a past that they could be and a future that may be.

Here lies the importance of the two films in his mind when considering the open issues and force the viewer to a mental reconstruction of what is elided in order to understand everything as a whole. Coming
