- AdministrateursJohn Patrick Shanley étoiles Meryl StreepPhilip Seymour HoffmanAmy AdamsUn directeur d'école catholique remet en question la relation ambiguë d'un prêtre avec un jeune élève en difficulté.This film blew me away with its layers of meaning in all of the actions of the characters. I still have no idea how to write such a film.
- AdministrateursJ Blakeson étoiles Gemma ArtertonEddie MarsanMartin CompstonLa fille d'un homme riche est retenue prisonnière dans un appartement abandonné par deux anciens détenus qui l'ont enlevée et demandent une rançon en échange.The Disappearance of Alice Creed is still fresh in my mind because I saw it just a week ago, but it has quickly climbed all of my "best" lists. The characters are just so well crafted in this thriller that by the end it becomes about them and not the plot, and I am still blown away by it everytime I try to think about how he wrote it.
- AdministrateursAdrienne Shelly étoiles Keri RussellNathan FillionJeremy SistoJenna est une serveuse enceinte du Sud profond, malheureuse dans son mariage. Elle rencontre un nouveau venu en ville et entame une relation improbable dans une dernière tentative pour enfin trouver le bonheur.Cleverly walks the line between drama and comedy, and succesfully makes dark subject matter funny without losing its heart. Not an easy task to do at all.
- AdministrateursJoe Wright étoiles Keira KnightleyJames McAvoyBrenda BlethynLa jeune écrivaine Briony Tallis, âgée de treize ans, change irrévocablement le cours de plusieurs vies lorsqu'elle accuse l'amant de sa soeur aînée d'un crime qu'il n'a pas commis.After reading the book, I had no idea how to turn it into a film. After watching the film, I realized he took the book almost word-for-word and somehow made it into a comprehensible masterpiece, but I still have no idea how.
- AdministrateursWoody Allen étoiles Scarlett JohanssonJonathan Rhys MeyersEmily MortimerUn ancien joueur de tennis professionnel à un tournant de sa vie craque pour une actrice qui sort avec son ami qui est aussi son futur beau-frère.Woody Allen is always very great at adding meaning to all the elements in his story, and in this story he was particularly great at adding a little bit of comedy to his dark murder mystery drama.
- AdministrateursSam Mendes étoiles Leonardo DiCaprioKate WinsletChristopher FitzgeraldUn jeune couple vivant dans une banlieue du Connecticut au milieu des années cinquante a du mal à résoudre ses problèmes personnels tout en essayant d'élever ses deux enfants.Revolutionary Road accurately painted a time, but even better, painted characters that are relevant in today's time.
- AdministrateursSpike Jonze étoiles Nicolas CageMeryl StreepChris CooperUn scénariste au coeur brisé commence à perdre espoir alors qu'il essaie sans succès d'adapter à l'écran "Le Voleur d'orchidées" de Susan Orlean.This should have been one of those stories that you just can't adapt, but Charlie Kaufman did it. But I also never attempt to understand the genius of Kaufman.
- AdministrateursMichel Gondry étoiles Jim CarreyKate WinsletTom WilkinsonLorsque leur relation se dégrade, un couple a recours à une procédure médicale pour effacer tout souvenir de leur relation.Again it's the genius of Charlie Kaufman, here he took a crazy story but made it feel down-to-Earth enough so we could enjoy it.
- AdministrateursMarc Webb étoiles Zooey DeschanelJoseph Gordon-LevittGeoffrey ArendUne comédie romantique décalée sur une femme qui ne croit pas au véritable amour, et le jeune homme qui tombe en amour avec elle.I will admit that I didn't get it at first, but the very clever twist with Zooey Deschanel's character makes this is a very well written film.
- AdministrateursJason Reitman étoiles Aaron EckhartCameron BrightMaria BelloComédie satirique sur le porte-parole de l'industrie de l'entreprise Big Tobacco, Nick Naylor, qui défend l'indéfendable au nom de l'industrie des cigarettes, tout en s'efforçant de rester un exemple pour son fils de douze ans.Thank You for Smoking is one of the best satires ever. They pointed out the absurdity to all the sides and did it with some very smart humour. They also cleverly did it through creating one very good character that we could just follow - he was smart, sarcastic, funny, but also human.
- AdministrateursGus Van Sant étoiles Sean PennJosh BrolinEmile HirschL'histoire de Harvey Milk et de ses luttes en tant qu'activiste gay américain qui s'est battu pour les droits des homosexuels et est devenu le premier élu ouvertement gay de Californie.Milk was a powerful film, because of how personal the screenwriter, Dustin Lance Black, made it, but at the same time he kept true to the story and never inserted himself into it.
- AdministrateursMarc Forster étoiles Will FerrellEmma ThompsonDustin HoffmanHarold Crick se retrouve soudainement au centre d'une narration que lui seul peut entendre: une narration qui commence à affecter toute sa vie, son travail, ses amours, sa mort.Stranger Than Fiction walked that fine line between fiction and absurdity, and created meaningful characters, and gave us just a fun comedy.
- AdministrateursKenneth Lonergan étoiles Laura LinneyMatthew BroderickAmy RyanLa vie d'une mère célibataire est bouleversée après le retour de son jeune frère en difficulté, rarement vu en ville.The true art of You Can Count on Me was creating real, accessible but flawed characters that were each able to express and exert emotion.
- AdministrateursLee Toland Krieger étoiles Adam ScottBrittany SnowAlex FrostA man tries to warn his brother away from the new girlfriend he brings home during Thanksgiving, but ends up becoming infatuated with her in the process.A great example of how to write a dysfunctional family dramedy. The drama was honest, the comedy funny and touching, and the actors didn't have to carry everything through dialogue alone but also their actions.
- AdministrateursCharles Herman-Wurmfeld étoiles Jennifer WestfeldtHeather JuergensenTovah FeldshuhA woman searching for the perfect man instead discovers the perfect woman.A great example of how to write a romantic comedy because it's accessible, smart, funny and all the characters are likable.
