Love Me Haiti (2014)
amazing
Love Me Haiti tells so much in so few minutes. It reminds me of The Constant Gardener where everyone trusts no one. The antagonist gets himself into more trouble as he discovers the explosive secret involving his wife's murder.
The etiquette of bribery stigmatizes the poor while big business and corporate corruption is on the edge of the rich people that are trying to get richer themselves - holding back the country's development...
The actors' performance is convincing. The jail cell scene is really well acted and cinematography, especially the lighting on the face is amazing! The local language boosts up realism to a point that I felt I was watching a faux cinéma vérité manifesto!
Pretty Rosebud (2014)
great indie
**spoiler alert** so i wasn't sure what to expect with this film. boy was i surprised. got totally drawn in by the characters and the plot. it's a story about cissie, a professional woman who works hard but is married to a loser. well, he later looks for a job but fails. so a loser. but anyway cissie keeps trying to get him to communicate and he's pretty much a brick wall. she hooks up with other men in an attempt to get what she's not getting at home. what's interesting about this film is one, usually we see the man cheating and a suffering wife at home, but here it's the total opposite. cissie brings home the bacon and steps out. i like how the director doesn't make one person to blame for the situation but shows how the resposnbility lies with both spouses. i'm looking forward to seeing other stuff from this director and writer because the story is really well told. great indie.
