From the literal, physical journey
of one single heart from one human to another in Heal the Living, to the metaphorical way the heart keeps going even when it stops pumping blood in A Ghost Story, via the discovery
of intimacy and the baring
of the soul that the characters
of Moonlight, Certain Women, Call me By Your Name and
God's Own Country all experience as they open up their hearts to life and
love - and all that they entail - these
films kickstarted my heart, and let the engine roar.
For although we have arrived at a moment in cinema history where — at last — there are more remarkable cinematic accounts
of homosexual
love than ever before (Barry Jenkins's Moonlight, Francis Lee's
God's Own Country, John Trengove's The Wound), this
film occupies a subtle category
of its own.
It's a
film in which possession
of the soul — by
God or the devil — locks humanity out
of the heart, but the commitment
of love could be the most powerful force to fight it.
The
film is co-written by Refn (Bronson, Drive, Only
God Forgives, Valhalla Rising), Mary Laws -LRB-» Preacher») and Polly Stenham; and stars Elle Fanning (Maleficent, Super 8), Karl Glusman (
Love, Stonewall), Jena Malone (Inherent Vice, The Hunger Games series), Bella Heathcote (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Dark Shadows), Abbey Lee (
Gods of Egypt, Max Max: Fury Road), with Christina Hendricks («Mad Men,» Drive), and Keanu Reeves (John Wick, The Matrix series).
«Anyone who has ever worked as a director knows what it took to make this
film,» we noted in our statement (delivered by juror and Oscar winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams, director
of God Loves Uganda and Music By Prudence).
However, as presented by Bill Condon (
Gods and Monsters), it is competently made, with a standout performance by Liam Neeson (
Love Actually, Gangs
of New York), and as fine a group
of supporting actors as one might hope for with a
film budgeted at only $ 11 million.
Only
God Forgives shares the previous
film's star Ryan Gosling and a strong sense
of style, but it doesn't have the
love story or noirish plot to give it a backbone.
All
of these
films will join the others we've been announcing over the last few months at this new edition
of the Festival, marked by the new manifestations
of evil, as is the case with Only
God Forgives, the new
film from Nicolas Winding Refn; Jim Jarmusch's most recent work, Only Lovers Left Alive, a unique story
of eternal
love between two vampires; a bizarre, surreal, comedy from Roman Coppola, A Glimpse Inside the Mind
of Charles Swann III; The Congress, the spectacular Stanislaw Lem adaptation directed by Ari Folman; Real, director Kiyoshi Kurosawa's return to fantastic cinema; or La danza de la realidad, the new work by multifaceted Alejandro Jodorowski.
The flagship
of the Festival, section Oficial Fantàstic, presents some
of the most eagerly awaited movies
of the year, such as Only
God Forgives by Nicolas Winding Refn - director
of Valhalla Rising and Drive; Jim Jarmusch's latest
film Only Lovers Left Alive, an eternal
love story between two vampires; A Glimpse Inside the Mind
of Charles Swann III, a surrealist comedy by the hand
of Roman Coppola; The Congress, a spectacular adaptation
of Stanislaw Lem directed by Ari Folman - responsible for Vals with Bashir -, that combines animation with a science - fiction story starring Robin Wright and Harvey Keitel; Sitges 2013 will also represent the return
of Kiyoshi Kurosawa to the fantastique genre with Real.
Most
of the
film focuses on the group
of girls who are shielded from the outside world and its temptations as they go through the rigorous training on the path to solidifying their
love of God.
He rounded out the 90's with the title role in George
of the Jungle, a serious dramatic role in the superb
film Gods and Monsters about the director James Whale and a flirtation he has with the Fraser character, and another supremely underrated comedy, Blast from the Past, about a man who emerges from a bomb shelter after 35 years and falls in
love with Alicia Silverstone.
It would be easy to assume that one's enjoyment
of My Life Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn is dependent on how much they
loved Only
God Forgives, but those less fond
of Refn's previous effort would be doing themselves a disserve by missing out on Liv Corfixen's fantastic
film.
It's a breathtaking, chilling, beautiful
film that wraps a
love story around a scientific attempt to disprove the existence
of God, but where does it lead?
