Good Comedy
In the movie Duck Season, a couple of young friends get together to play games on their XBOX and order a pizza. When all of a sudden the neighbor who is a cute young girls stops over to use their oven. Their pizza finally arrives and in refusing to pay the delivery guy, they work it out over one of the video games. of course, the power goes out so they take the time to learn about each other and their families and how they are going through divorce. A very interesting movie - however rated R so it is not for the entire family.Lire l'avis complet...
Duck Season
I read several rave reviews about this film, but it got very short play in theaters (if any at all) because (one) it's in Spanish, (two) it's in black and white, (three) nobody gets murdered and there aren't any CGI effects, and (four)it has a gay subtext. As it turns out, the color scheme of the movie matches the dull, day-to-day existence of its middle class teenage characters while the slow pace (and lack of dragons and drug lords) allows us to come to know everyone in the film as a real person, almost in real time. Nobody, it turns out, is really happy, and everbody has secrets. In one wonderful day together, however, everyone gets to face his own personal dragons head on and (maybe) make a bit of progress in getting on with the rest of his life.Lire l'avis complet...
A gem for patient viewers
This is a dramatic comedy about unpredictable adolescent characters spending a Sunday alone in a middle-class apartment in Mexico City apartment, but it is by no means a "teen-comedy" along the lines of "Amercian Pie". Filmed in five weeks for less than a million dollars, "Temporada" won 11 Ariel awards, the Mexican equivalent of the Oscar, as many as the much more commercially succesful and Tarantino-esque "Amores perros", and it was by far the best-reviewed Mexican film of 2004. It made less than $150,000 in it's short U.S. theatrical run, probably because of it's austere black-and-white photography and slow pacing (it covers nine hours of Sunday loafing in about an hour and a half). The style is indebted to early Jim Jarmusch and Yasujiro Ozu, and if you have the patience to endure the pace of everyday life on screen, you'll be rewarded by impeccable visual composition and a moving portrayal of adolescents caught in limbo and forced to interact with each other when a power-failure robs them of their XBox.Lire l'avis complet...
This movie makes me happy.
I wasn't expecting it to be completely in black and white. It reminds me of I love lucy when they claim she has red hair but I can't really tell. One of the characters claims he had redish hair but I couldn't see it. It upset me only a fragment. The movie had some slow parts but most indie films do. If you are in love with indie movies you'll probably pee your pants for this one.Lire l'avis complet...
