Mt. Rushmore of Movies Blogathon '19

Although most of the nominations are bullshit and the ceremony is going to be an awful disaster, I'm still staying up all night to watch the Oscars. It's a long wait though and what a better way to not fall asleep, other than drinking countless cups of coffee, than rewatching Dirty Grandpa because I'm a slut for Zac Efron? Well, actually there's a better way, googling shirtless hot actors.

And you know what would I'd love? To see those hot bodies carved in stone. On Mount Rushmore, for example. So, despite I said I'd find something else for m. brown's Mt. Rushmore blogathon since somebody was already going with it, I decided to go with abs, the Mount Rushmore of Marvel Abs, Marvel both as wonderful thing and as the publisher of comic books I love the most. So without further ado, here are the Marvel abs, in order of crushes (the crush is on the actor, not the abs specifically), I want to see bigger and stronger. 

PS before you start drooling on your keyboard, here are the simple rules to join the blogathon (copied and pasted from Two Dollar Cinema so please don't link your post in my comments but here):

1. I'd like to have all posts done by Friday, March 1st (where I'll create a master list, linking back to all of your lovely sites), but it's cool if you're an overachiever and finish early. Or not at all.
2. When you've finished, send me a heads up/dick pic on twitter @twodollarcinema, reply in the comments below, e-mail me (twodollarcinema@gmail.com), make circles out of black smoke that Amy Adams will decode, Hell, cut a note out of old newspaper headlines, I really don't mind. Just let me know that you're in and that I love you so much. 
3. In your post, please use the rad banner my wife designed in eleven minutes.
4. Share the announcement, if possible. I don't really know anyone, uh, except you. 
5. I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting you.

Enjoy!

Shoplifters (2018)

Hirokazu Kore-eda's Shoplifters (Japanese: 万引き家族 Manbiki kazoku) was at the top of my Cannes 2018 watchlist not because it won the Palm d'Or as there's plenty of winners I didn' love but because many people in the blogosphere loved it, but my cinema didn't bother showing it so I had to skip it. I finally had the chance to watch it the other day and now I feel like I cannot recommend this movie enough. 

The film follows a family of small-time crooks. One cold February night, one their way home after a successful day of shoplifting, Osamu (Lily Franky) and Shota (Jyo Kairi) see a little girl, Yuri (Miyu Sasaki), sitting out in the cold, shivering, and take her home. At first, Osamu's wife, Nobuyo (Sakura Ando), is not keen to take the girl, but when she hears the girl's parents quarrelling, she and the family decide to take care of her and Yuri becomes part of the family.

At this point, we are about ten minutes in the film, but saying more would spoil your viewing as Shoplifters's is one of those stories that you need to experience and see yourself how it plays out. That said, the story unfolds quite slowly, but the pacing is never an issue here as the story gets increasingly interesting as we learn more about each family member, about the glue that holds them together, and are constantly surprised by the twists and turns the story takes.

Shoplifters's isn't just a compelling, engaging story though, it's also a thought-provoking tale about complex moral issues and ethical doubts, about the real meaning of family and love, a story that delves deeply into the nature versus nurture debate.

In addition, Hirokazu's film is filled with compelling characters. It's truly magnificent how complex and developed the characters are, especially if considering the film's running time —two hours— and that there's plenty of characters. Whether is the old, sweet, caring grandma (Kirin Kiki) everyone else relies on, or the casual labourer father who teaches his son to steal, or the young woman (Mayu Matsuoka) working at a sex club, each one of them is fascinating as they all are people that, in one way or another, failed social obligations, and, as the story develops and we learn more and more about them, we cannot help but care about them, root for them to succeed in life.

GAGA Pictures

As for the cast, Shoplifters has one of the best casts I've seen in recent years. Every single actor gives a genuine, believable performance —the kids, Jyo Kairi and Miyu Sasaki, are incredible, especially the boy. They all embody their characters, their interactions are natural and bring so much authenticity to the film.

In addition, the cinematography is quite extraordinary, with its long shots, intimate, absorbing close-ups and interesting angles, and the score is wonderful.

In other words, Shoplifters should be the foreign language film up for multiple Oscars, not Cuarón's Roma.

The Wife (2017)

It's Oscar night tomorrow —actually, it's early Monday morning here but nevermind— and since I'm going to lose one night of sleep and sit through the hostless ceremony that is going to award Bohemian Rhapsody and Roma, I figured I should also watch all the movies that split under the radar that somehow made it to the Oscars. The Wife is one of those movies as Glenn Close is up for Best Actress. 

The story follows a charismatic writer, Joe Castleman (Jonathan Pryce), and his devoted wife, Joan (Glenn Close). When Joe is awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his acclaimed body of work and they travel to Stockholm to attend the ceremony, Joan begins to question her life choices and her forty-year marriage built upon uneven compromises and sacrifices.

The biggest issue with The Wife is the story. Simple and plot-heavy at the same time, it lacks credibility, it's predictable, it doesn't always make sense, it has too many pointless subplots and a twist that couldn't have impressed me any less —women writers always had a public even in earlier years (Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters and Agatha Christie, to name a few), therefore Joan giving up her writing in the 1950s when she had no chance as a woman is an absolute bullshit. Sure, she probably wouldn't have had the same success as her husband, nor would it have been as easy to get published, but it sure wasn't impossible if she was as talented as she turns out to be. As a result, the story isn't never compelling —I found it to be quite boring, to be honest.

As a character study, The Wife works a bit better. Joan is the perfect example of the woman who sacrifices her life and career for the man she loves, a woman who has lived her entire life in the shadow of her successful husband. All of a sudden, she reaches her breaking point and she snaps. She is not sympathetic nor likeable but Glenn Close and her strong, compelling but not Oscar-worthy performance make you feel for her. Annie Starke —Close's real life daughter— gives an equally compelling performance as the younger version of Joan. Joe is a self-absorbed, narcissistic man addicted to the spotlight, a spotlight he does not deserve. A man who criticizes everyone in his life, from his wife to his "looking for father's approval" son, and Jonathan Pryce gives a solid performance. Christian Slater is completely wasted in the role of a Nathaniel Bone, the journalist who makes Joan begin to question her life choices, as he's nothing but a plot device.

Sony Pictures Classics

As for the direction, I'm pretty sure if someone more skilled had the job, The Wife would have been a more successful and compelling drama. The thing is that Björn Runge keeps playing the twist as if it was some big reveal or something, which it isn't as it's very clear right from the start, so the tension he tries to build never lifts off. There are also some frustrating, annoying scenes that are dragged way too long and add nothing to the film.

44th César Award Winners

Last night the French Academy had their award ceremony and was able to watch live the beginning, but soon enough couldn't keep my eyes open as show became really tedious.  Nevertheless at the beginning there were a couple of moments where I laugh like crazy, which is good as do not particularly like French humor.

The president of the 44th ceremony was none other than Kristin Scott Thomas, who opened the ceremony with a speech that felt to me like a reminder to all that she can do French cinema (and she's extraordinary in French cinema); so, let's hope someone heard the plea and gives her a movie ASAP as the quality of French movies need to improve fast.  For me this year the quality of the honored movies was a tat below the average, sigh; then, there are a couple of good actor's performances but couldn't save the movies.  Ah! yes, I love Jacques Audiard films, he's truly a master-filmmaker, but The Sisters Brothers is more American than French cinema, so it does not count for my perception.

By-the-way having in one place Kristin Scott Thomas and César d'Honeur Robert Redford was like The Horse Whisper reunion with just Scarlett Johansson missing.  Eddy de Pretto honored late Charles Aznavour, Cécile Cassel and Stéfi Celma honored late Michel Legrand, and Diane Kruger lead a tribute to honor late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld.

2017 Venice Silver Lion winner Jusqu’à La Garde (Custody) by Xavier Legrand lead the pack along with Le Gran Bain (Sink Or Swim) by Gilles Lelouche as each had 10 nominations; but, it's Custody was the winner with four awards including top prize as the second got only one.  Still, The Sisters Brothers collected four awards tying with Custody for the top spot of the night.

Even do top award winner was a surprise for some, let's recall Jusqu’à La Garde won the Louis Delluc prize last December, so film came with good credentials within France and from the Biennale, therefore should not be a major surprise, isn't?
