Klown/Klovn - The Movie (2010) - Nørgaard, Hvam and Christensen strike comedy gold

♥♥♥♥♥

+ Best Danish Movie of the Year

The upbeat, well-made poster for Mikkel Nørgaard's Klown

  
Klown is the feature debut of Mikkel Nørgaard (Klown Forever/Klovn Forever (2015)), written by co-stars Casper Christensen (Player (2013)) and Frank Hvam (What's Wrong with This Picture?/Tid til Forandring (2004)), based on the Klown/Klovn sitcom (2005-09) in which the two portray characters based on themselves in their own names.

Frank is going with his best friend and work companion on a canoe trip, which Casper has named 'Tour de Pussy', but when it turns out that Frank's long-time girlfriend Mia is pregnant and that she has doubts about Frank's qualities as a father figure, Frank kidnaps his prepubescent nephew Bo and brings him along on the manly trip to prove her wrong...

The two beloved characters have all the maturity of their much younger real-life counterparts in Michael Noer's documentary The Wild Hearts/De Vilde Hjerter (2008), but Frank's intentions are, for the most part, honorable, which redeems him at least. The acting is good, (SPOILER perhaps with the exemption of Christensen's breakdown scene), and in a couple of scenes even reach touching heights.
Drama-wise the film is a well-oiled machine. The video camera aesthetic of the TV-series is maintained, which is okay. One is chagrined and laughing over and over again in this very successful adaptation into a new format. SPOILER The ending, which features pictures of Bo's penis shown at his confirmation party, (made using a costly prosthetic), will cross the line for many audiences.

Here is a clip from the sequel, Klown Forever (2015)

Cost: 14 mil. DKK, equal to approximately 2.1 mil. $
Box office: 13.2 mil. $
= Huge hit
[Klown was released December 16 (Denmark) and runs 100 minutes. It was filmed from July - October 2010 in Copenhagen and around in Jutland, Denmark. 4.9 mil. DKK of the budget was granted from the Danish Film Institute. The film is reportedly the 2nd highest grossing Danish film of all time. It received good reviews and managed to become (in the two weeks up to New Year's Eve) the biggest Danish film in the country of the year with 481k admissions. By the end of its run, it had sold 848,500 tickets in Denmark, which is spectacular. In North America, it was shown at a couple of smaller festivals and grossed 68k $. It did better business in Iceland and Norway, but racked up almost its total gross in its native Denmark: 12 mil. $ (90.1 % of the total gross). A sequel came out in 2015, and the rights to a remake have been secured by Warner Bros., possibly to star Danny McBride. Klown is certified fresh at 71 % with a 6.1 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes.]

Julia's Eyes/Los Ojos de Julia (2010) - Decent Spanish horror with good craftsmanship, little else

♥♥♥

One of the eerie posters for Guillem Morales' Julia's Eyes

Julia's sister is found hanged, possibly by her own hand because she had gone blind. But Julia is not convinced of the theory, and who is the man her sister had started going with? A fatally dangerous mystery is unraveled...

Julia's Eyes is the second feature by Guillem Morales (The Uninvited Guest/El Habitante Incierto (2004)), written by Morales and Oriol Paulo (The Body/El Cuerpo (2012)). It has capable visuals and acting and a story with drive, a twist and a couple of good chills; SPOILER as when Julia plays blind at the killer's house but can really see everything!
But Julia's Eyes is also quite superficial; it never reaches any thematic depths or presents anything substantially new or truly terrifying. Mostly it can be admired for its good craftsmanship.

Watch a trailer for the film here

Cost: Unknown
Box office: Seemingly at least in excess of 14.8 mil. $
= Unknown (likely a box office success)
[Julia's Eyes premiered September 11 (Toronto International Film Festival) and runs 117 minutes. It was shot from October - December 2009 in and around Barcelona, Spain. The above-mentioned B.O. number comes from adding the publicized grossed for Spain (9.3 mil. $), Mexico, South Korea and Italy, but the film has been released in many other countries as well, so the gross is likely higher. Tentatively setting its budget at around 5 mil. $, the film looks like a box office success. Julia's Eyes is fresh at 91 % with a 6.6 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes.]

Star Trek Beyond (2016) - Lin's adventurous, foundation-honoring entry

♥♥♥♥

One of the beautiful, strong-colored posters for Justin Lin's Star Trek Beyond

Star Trek Beyond is the 3rd film in the rebooted Star Trek film franchise and the 13th Star Trek film overall. It is written by Doug Jung (Banshee (2014), TV-series) and Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz (2007)), who also returns as Scotty, based on Gene Roddenberry's (West Point (1956-57)) original 1966-86 series, and directed by Justin Lin (Fast & Furious 6 (2013)).

The spaceship Enterprise is three years into its 5-year mission, and Captain Kirk is having doubts as to the point of the exploration of space. A search for an allegedly stranded ship on a strange planet turns deadly, as the Enterprise gets shot down by a malicious army led by the bitter leader Krall.

Beyond keeps the pedal to the metal in terms of keeping the high quality of the two previous chapters in the new film series, despite the cast beginning to look older and less energetic. Chris Pine (This Means War (2012)) is still an ideal Kirk, who communicates knowingly with involuntarily funny Spock (Zachary Quinto (I Am Michael (2015)), who shares quite a lot of pleasant banter with earthbound, skeptic Doc Bones (Karl Urban (The Price of Milk (2000))) in the new film.
SPOILER Many headlines have been spun on the controversy regarding John Cho's (That Burning Feeling (2013)) character Sulu's very discreet coming out as gay in Beyond, mostly because George Takei, who used to play Sulu and has since come out as a gay LGBT rights activist, has opposed the turn. In reality the element is very small in the film. It is there, but underplayed (don't expect a kiss) so as to not alienate potentially important, LGBT-hostile markets.

Anton Yelchin (Burying the Ex (2014)) is back as Chekov in one of the actor's last performances following his tragic, accidental death earlier this year, and the film is appropriately dedicated to both him and Leonard Nimoy, (who played Spock through most of the franchise's now 50 year history), who also passed away recently.
Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014)) is new as the tough, likable Jaylah, and Idris Elba (Beasts of No Nation (2015)) adds yet another villain credit to his name as Krall. - He is unrecognizable, (and is he even really, in fact, under there, under that heavy mask?), for much of the film, which I think is a shame, SPOILER because the character grows immensely more interesting once we get to see the recognizable Elba and know the character's backstory. As an ex-soldier who is too dedicated to fighting and a permanent combat-reality, Krall has got quite a strong resonance with some of the problems we see in our actual world today, which is only a strength and nicely in line with the villain of the previous film, Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), whose terrorist agenda was also potent. This is one clear mark of good sci-fi.
The film plays much like an adventure story with strong visuals both on the mysterious planet and especially on the Starbase Yorktown, which is an amazingly detailed, fascinating place. There's fun, (SPOILER including something of a Deux ex machina moment of true silliness, as Beastie Boys' Sabotage turns out to be a formidable weapon against the 'bee' army), excitement and a firm foundation in the original Star Trek universe: Strangely recognizable sounds from the series are used, (only fans will notice), and the feeling throughout is very much in line with Roddenberry's visionary show. Shohreh Aghdashloo (Twenty Bucks (1993)) with her distinctive, raspy voice and natural integrity gives a fine performance that's a neat bookend to the film, which rounds off with a nice quotation from all the regular cast members of the legendary intro speech of the show. It is a great, exciting end, - before a stunning end credit animation sequence that will make you keep your 3D glasses on for a while longer. Beyond relishes in the celebration of diversity, humanity and exploratory thrill that is the heart of Star Trek.

[Star Trek Beyond premiered July 7 (Sydney) and runs 122 minutes. Producer Robert Orci was replaced as director in 2014, before Lin was chosen. Filming took place in Vancouver, British Columbia, LA, Seoul and Dubai from June - October 2015 with reshoots in March 2016, including Aghdashloo's scenes. The film is getting great reviews, and audiences love it, but it is regrettably projected to make less money than the two previous installments. Star Trek Beyond is certified fresh at 88 % with a 7 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes.]

Jew Suss: Rise and Fall/Jud Süss – Film ohne Gewissen (2010) - Roehler's strong portrayal of a part of Germany's frightening past is shamefully under-appreciated

♥♥♥♥♥

1 Film Excess nomination:

Best Screenplay:  Klaus Richter, Franz Novotny, Oskar Roehler (lost to Christopher Nolan for Inception)

+ Best German Movie of the Year

Moritz Bleibreu and Tobias Moretti in profiles on this poster for Oskar Roehler's Jew Suss: Rise and Fall

Ferdinand Marian is a somewhat known German actor in 1939, when Hitler's propaganda minister Goebbels falls for his portrayal of a Jew and hires him for the lead as the despicable Jew in Veit Harlan's notorious propaganda film, Jud Süß.

Jew Suss: Rise and Fall is written by Klaus Richter (Die Schwarzen Brüder (2013)), Franz Novotny (Code Name 'Holec'/Deckname Holec (2016)) and great German co-writer-director Oskar Roehler (Lulu and Jimi/Lulu und Jimi (2009)), whose 10th feature it is, based on the true story and book about the true story, Ich War Jud Süss, by Friedrich Knilli (Das Hörspiel (1961)). The original, German title translates to 'Suss the Jew - film without conscience.'
One feels some natural sympathy for protagonist actor Marian, SPOILER who is nevertheless a swine, and, really, everything about the story of Jud Süss and the crimes of Nazi Germany in the period are simply horrific.
Tobias Moretti (The Dark Valley/Das Finstere Tal (2014)) does well as Marian, and Moritz Bleibtreu (Woman in Gold (2015)) is frightening as Goebbels. The film's look has been color-manipulated to look extra hideous, which seems oddly fitting to this very dark and pitiful chapter of German and human history. An important, highly well-made and fine film that you ought to search out.

[Jew Suss: Rise and Fall premiered February 18 (Berlin International Film Festival) and runs 100 minutes. It was filmed from June - August 2009 in Germany, Austria and Italy as a German-Austrian co-production. It was met with hostility at its Berlin premiere from German critics, and reportedly only scraped together 50k admissions in Germany during its release. It was only released in 4 other, European countries. The cost and box office figures may not be completely accurate, but there is no doubt that this fine film suffered an unreasonably poor reception. 771 IMDb users have given Jew Suss: Rise and Fall an average 5.9/10 rating.]

I'm Still Here (2010) or, Joaquin Phoenix's Bad Joke

♥

The artsy poster for Casey Affleck's I'm Still Here

On the top of his successful career as an Oscar-nominated actor, Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the Line (2005)) has grown so tired of the showbiz rat race that he gets off the gravy train to pursue a very public free-fall as a rapper.

I'm Still Here presents an overly self-indulgent and pathetic portrait of a man's downfall, which turns out to be a hoax; scripted, conceptualized and staged for the most part, although that fact doesn't really make much of a difference. Co-writer-director Casey Affleck (The Book of Charles (1999)) and co-writer Phoenix are the ones to blame for this boring, pointless midlife-crisis serving. It is Phoenix's good luck that he is a recognized, great actor, because otherwise this film could have easily become his professional gravestone.
Ben Stiller (Greenberg (2010)) and particularly David Letterman (Late Show with David Letterman (1993-2015)) give this botch-up its only funny scenes, both unaware that they are involved in a hoax. If you feel different than me towards I'm Still Here, then watch, for instance, Asif Kapadia's Oscar-winning documentary masterpiece Amy (2015) and compare the two. The hollowness of this expletive-heavy, tiring film should become glaringly obvious.

[I'm Still Here premiered September 6 (Venice International Film Festival) and runs 106 minutes. Filming began January 2009 and ran the following year, taking place in Costa Rica, Vegas, LA and other places around the US, inspired by the relationship between reality TV, celebrities and the public. I'm Still Here opened #43 in 19 theaters to a 96k $ first weekend in North America, where it peaked in 120 theaters and grossed 408k $ (71.8 % of the total gross). The 2nd and 3rd biggest markets were the UK with 98k $ (17.3 %) and Australia with 33k $ (5.8 %). Affleck claims that the film made him go broke, and if its cost is put at a tentative 1 mil. $, the film was a huge flop. The single company behind it has also not produced anything else. I'm Still Here is rotten at 53 % with a 5.5 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes.]

I Saw the Devil/악마를 보았다/惡魔를 보았다 (Agmareul boatda) (2010) or, Cat and Mouse - Korean Style

♥♥♥♥♥

3 Film Excess nominations:

Best Cinematography:  Mo-gae Lee (lost to Wally Phister for Inception)
Best Practical Effects (lost to Inception)
Best Music: Mowg (lost to Treme S1)

+ Best Korean Movie of the Year
+ Best Revenge movie of the Year
+ Most Violent Movie of the Year

A cool, minimalistic poster for Kim Jee-Woon's I Saw the Devil

A strong intelligence agent's girlfriend gets coincidentally murdered and dismembered by a merciless serial killer who drives a school van. The agent consequently takes two weeks off work to hunt and inflict a comparable pain upon the guilty man.

I find it really wild that it is possible in South Korea to find the money to make as big, ambitious and crazy a film as I Saw the Devil. SPOILER The maddest thing about it, from a Western standpoint at least, must be that it is initially quite hard to sympathize with its hero, because he lets the serial killer go again and again, so that more innocents are beat up, killed and/or raped, just so he can capture and maim the lunatic some more. Crazy is also the enormous amount of violent and explicit sufferings depicted, which makes I Saw the Devil an almost sadistic film to watch for some, but as a connoisseur in film violence I have to compliment the filmmakers for their achievement in this arena of suffering. I Saw the Devil is a runaway train of gasping, writhing, looking away and whooping for audiences that can take it.
The film doesn't shy away from the local predilection for the melodramatic, and certain plot details hardly make sense, but then the film clearly aims for the operatic and super-realistic, meaning that which transgresses the boundaries of 'realism', which makes the criticism a mute point. Byung-hun Lee (The Magnificent Seven (2016)) is bad-ass as the grieving hero, and Min-sik Choi (Oldboy (2003)) is extremely menacing and out of control as the terrorizing mass-murderer villain. 
The score, by Mowg (The Last Stand (2013)), is outstanding, highlighting the stampede-like feel of the blood hunt. The film's action scenes are carried out supremely; the violence is extreme and will be too much for many. The cinematography, by Mo-gae Lee (The Good, the Bad, the Weird/Joheunnom Nabbeunnom Isanghannom (2008)) is detail-oriented, full of surplus and ingenuity, very strong work.
The film is written by Hoon-jung Park (The Unjust/Boo-dang-geo-rae (2010)) and directed by Kim Jee-Woon (A Bittersweet Life/Dalkomhan Insaeng (2005)). It is one of the most exciting and singular cinema experiences.

Incendies (2010) - Villeneuve's dreary and depressing, wildly overrated drama

♥

+ Most Overrated Movie of the Year

A dismal poster for Denis Villeneuve's Incendies

The old woman Nawal dies and leaves a mysterious will for her adult children, which tells them that they have another brother and a father who still lives. One of the children, the daughter, investigates and learns horrific things of her late mother's life.

Incendies [Fr. 'fires'] is devastatingly boring, arranged in chapters and dependent on an abnormal interest in the characters, which the film never established in my case. There is a religious aspect to the story, which is not handled at all: Are the family Christian, although they seem very Muslim? Instead politics mix with awfully depressing scenes of their awful lives in a nondescript Middle Eastern country.
Incendies is written by co-writer-director Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners (2013)) with Valérie Beaugrand-Champagne (Endorphine (2015)), based on Wajdi Mouawad's same-titled 2003 play. It's a film totally deprived of humor and anything uplifting, a huge bore and wildly overrated. (Although its generally unbelievably high estimation does make me wonder if I maybe should give it a second shot sometime...)

[Incendies premiered September 4 (Telluride) and runs 130 minutes. The story is based on events during the Lebanese civil war, but it is made intentionally unclear throughout where we are, and what groups are interacting. Filming took place in Amman and Montreal. The film opened #46 in 3 theaters to a 50k $ first weekend in North America, where it peaked in 90 theaters and grossed 2 mil. $. The B.O. numbers out are conflicting, but adding the foreign totals on Box Office Mojo gives a foreign gross of 5 mil. $. On its IMDb page, the film boasts a 15.6 mil. CAN$ world total (approximately 12.1 mil. $), which isn't in line with this at all. So the film's performance is up in the air. Its 2nd and 3rd biggest markets seem to be Australia with 1.1 mil. $ and Italy with 688k $. It has made very little business in the Middle East. Incendies was Oscar-nominated for Best Foreign Film, which it lost to the Danish In a Better World/Hævnen. It won 8 Genie awards (Canada's Oscar) including Best Picture, Director and Adapted Screenplay. It also, amazingly, inhabits #150 on IMDb's user-generated top 250. Incendies is certified fresh at 92 % with a 7.9 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes.]

The folding effect is showcased on this poster for Christopher Nolan's Inception

Cobb is a hunted man. Hunted from his country where the authorities believe he killed his wife. And by his employers, because he has failed. But most of all he is a man haunted by his own dreams ...

The plot of Inception, by Oscar-nominated British master writer-director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight (2008)), is very hard if not impossible to recount. It is a sci-fi masterpiece, a visually sumptuous film whose like we haven't seen since The Matrix (1999). Several sequences in the film are dumbfounding to the eyes, meanwhile the intellectual capacities are racing away to keep up with the film.
Leonard DiCaprio (The Wolf of Wall Street (2016)) and Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose (2007)) are delightful, and Hans Zimmer's (Freeheld (2015)) Oscar-nominated score is inciting and fateful. Inception is visually, effect-wise and conceptually formidable, with remarkable cinematography by Oscar-winning Wally Phister (Insomnia (2002)). The plot is inventive, captivating and perfectly balances understandable elements with nonsense. The strong, sexy ensemble cast also all sustain incredibly nice hair throughout the trials. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's (The Dark Knight Rises (2012)) zero gravity-scenes are historically great. Inception is a unique and dizzying experience that keeps spinning us round and round.

[Inception premiered July 8 (London's Odeon Leicester Square) and runs 148 minutes. Nolan had been developing the ideas in the film since before 2002, when he handed in an 80-page treatment to Warner Bros. for a dream-centered horror. After gaining experience with huge films (the two first in his Batman trilogy and The Prestige), Nolan sold his spec script to Warner in 2009 with production beginning a few months later. Filming lasted June - November 2009 in Japan, England, France, Morocco, LA and Canada. Inception was released normally and in the IMAX format, although it was not shot with IMAX cameras. An additional 100 mil. $ was reportedly used on marketing the film, which, with DVD/Blu-ray sales also accounted for, leaves the film merely a box office success. It opened #1 to a 62.7 mil. $ first weekend in North America, where it stayed atop for two more weeks before getting booted down by The Other Guys and grossed 292.5 mil. $ (35.4 % of the total gross). The 2nd and 3rd biggest markets were China with 68.4 mil. $ (8.3 %) and the UK with 56.6 mil. $ (6.9 %). It was the 6th highest-grossing film of the year in North America and the 4th internationally. It made many critics' top 10 lists of the year and was given a 4/4 star rating by Roger Ebert. Inception was nominated for 8 Oscars: It won for its visual effects, sound editing, sound mixing and cinematography. It lost score to The Social Network, art direction to Alice in Wonderland and original screenplay and picture to The King's Speech. It has made in excess of 68 mil. $ on DVD/Blu-ray sales. Inception is certified fresh at 86 with an 8.1 critical average at Rotten Tomatoes and is currently #14 on IMDb's user-generated Top 250.]
