- DirectorMartin McDonaghStarsColin FarrellWoody HarrelsonSam RockwellA struggling screenwriter inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after his oddball friends kidnap a gangster's beloved Shih Tzu.If you enjoyed In Bruges this will blow your mind...
Martin McDonagh has made an unbelievably clever, funny and entertaining fast-paced movie. As I watched I couldn't help thinking of the classic Pulp Fiction, this is sure to become a 'cult' movie in the same genre.
7 Psychopaths is a comedy for adults, not the usual twenty five 44 year old teenagers sharing the same house as 'friends' type sitcom poop just plain clever wit and humour; there are some great one-liners to remember too!
The script is original and creative, the cast like the direction is perfect; this is an incredible movie - a must see. I recommend you rush out and see it before your friends do - and they will! - DirectorLars von TrierStarsBjörkCatherine DeneuveDavid MorseAn Eastern European US immigrant with a love for musicals has to cope with the gradual loss of her vision.Being a fan of art house, Lars Von Trier (ever since "Dogville") and an even bigger fan of the impish Björk there is a chance, you might say I'm biased; however I watched this film (12 years late) with an open mind...
There were times when the anguish became almost too much, however, Bjork's performance was flawless, emotionally naked but perversely charming and innocent; she makes you want to reach into the screen; hug her tight and protect her from the big bad wolf. Not surprisingly she won the CFF 'best actress' award. Casting Catherine Deneuve as her friend was inspirational.
This film is not in 'good taste' and the plot is not remotely plausible; I don't think it's meant to be, but it is a great break from the usual, trite, trillion dollar 'churn-out'!
This is not a 'family musical' my advice like many other reviewers, is to watch it alone; then at least any opinions formed will be your own!
Some people will admire Lars Von Trier's effort and others will hate it...I, for one believe that Björk's decision to never make another movie is a great loss to us all... - DirectorLars von TrierStarsNicole KidmanPaul BettanyLauren BacallA woman on the run from the mob is reluctantly accepted in a small Colorado community in exchange for labor, but when a search visits the town she finds out that their support has a price.Dogville was filmed in a studio with a set that most of the time looks like the players are standing on a school blackboard with definition lines in chalk. Although this film is set in a small town in America it could have been any town, anywhere in the world; as I believe that the emphasis is on the dark side of human nature and not any form of critique on the American 'way-of-life'.
On the run from a group of gangsters, Grace (Nicole Kidman) arrives in the small mining town, the townsfolk take her in and make a deal with her; if she will work for them for nothing, they will offer her sanctuary. Grace agrees to the terms and meets the locals; however their demands are ever increasing...
Lauren Bacall and the rest of the cast give good performances but Nicole Kidman excels herself, in this, what I believe to be one of her best. The narration by John Hurt is captivating.
A must see for Art House and Lars Von Trier fans, or like me; just lecherously watching the svelte Nicole Kidman swan about the screen...
