Open Letter to the Evening News

2006-08-04 00:25:00 by Brian in International Walnut
...provocative, so much so that when it was released in Italy it created a genuine stir that, for a time, appeared to be verging on scandal - in art, almost always a sign that you've done something right While Open Letter to the Evening News sparked debate for its subject matter, Maselli's cinematic approach to the material was, for some,...

2006-02-13 09:58:31 by Editor in Cinephiliac
...provocative mixed bag of tricks is entirely predicated on its own structural gimmick: every scene begins somewhere at its midpoint and cuts without precise resolution, a fascinating theoretical design that obliges viewers to continually swim through icy waters in frustrating search of contextual buoys. The ideas are scattershot and Godardian...

Mind Meld: Art in a Digital World

2008-08-14 00:20:25 by JP in SF Signal
 
...provocative ways. I like the surprises in the juxtapositions and it forces me to react in ways that I might not have to, if I were simply painting on a canvas in the real world. It's interesting to bounce back and forth between non-digital means of working, and digital means, and finding the spaces between the two. Personally, I'm most...

Michael Clayton (2006) - As an ode to the morally complex and ambivalent genre films of the 1970s, MICHAEL CLAYTON is a searing and evocative politica

2007-10-19 00:47:03 by craiger in Craiger's Cinema Corner
 
...provocative and compelling for how it shows how one lonely and conflicted man has his entire existence unravel right before him. It rightfully shows the stark reality of people who willfully defend the indefensible, even when logical and right head impulses burn away at them. This is one of the best portraits of corporate malfeasance and...
