The Secret of Pin-Up Island (2024)
Mysterious and heartwarming story
Loved, loved that movie! I watched it during the Boston Sci-Film Festival and was pleasantly surprised by this creation of Romanian cinematography. It is very unusual but at the same time comforting and heartwarming story. In how it was made, it really reminded me of computer games that I played when I was a kid. While watching this movie you want to join the main character, Alesia, on her adventure. It was so exciting to explore all the rooms and to meet all the unique characters with her.
Closer to the halfway point of the movie, the viewer understands that the idea is much deeper than it appeared in the beginning. Through Alesia's journey it will make you think about your own feelings, your own life, your own past, and may even help you to resolve some of your own issues by the end of the film.
In addition, as a woman, I loved that almost all the characters are female. Their costumes and hair are so stylish as well! I could see a lot from 60s fashion, but with futuristic notes. The contrast between the bright yellow outfits and the grey interiors of the factory building was amazing! You can tell this was created by real artists.
A beautiful warm feeling filled my heart when I finished watching. It is an interesting sweet fairytale filled with mystery.
Give this movie one of your evenings. You will enjoy every moment of it!
The Girl Who Is Selling Fish (2022)
A powerful one actor performance
This film mirrors a modern world's reality - showing not just the polished and shiny side of a popular blogger's life that every teenager dreams about nowadays, but also the dreadful existence on the other side filled with frustration, fear, and most importantly lies. To present the story in two divided screens was the best way to make this contrast pop. The viewer doesn't have any other choice but to compare the two of them. It's almost like the main character, Liza, is two different people. That pressure of being easy cheerful Liza on her social media account is making the life of the real one practically unbearable. Very interesting story!
Great short, great idea! I enjoyed every minute of it.
