The Rocket makes the impossible is possible

Review by Jenny Alvarez

The Rocket is set in contemporary Laos and tells the story of a boy named Ahlo (beautifully played by Sitthiphon Disamoe) who is believed to be a bearer of bad luck. Eventually, he is blamed for a string of disasters that kill his mother and deeply affect his community.

When his family loses their home and is forced to move, Ahlo meets the spirited orphan Kia and her eccentric uncle Purple: an ex-soldier with a purple suit, a rice-wine habit and an unbridled love for James Brown.

Struggling to hang onto his father’s trust, Ahlo leads his family, as well as Purple and Kia, through a land scarred by war — in search of a new home.

In a last plea to prove he’s not cursed, and to earn a living for his family, Ahlo builds a giant rocket to enter the most lucrative (but dangerous) competition of the year: The Rocket Festival. The cast led by two superb child actors with a lovely sense of texture of a culture full of traditions and new life experiences. The most beautiful scene was when the little boy builds a giant rocket to enter the most exciting and dangerous competition of the year: the Rocket Festival but he had to face many obstacles but show us that the dedication, effort and perseverance are important keys to achieving our goals. His father was skeptical and the joy came to their lives with a great surprise and triumph of Ahlo. This film is full of beautiful landscapes and many elements compensate for its predictability.

 

 

What is the most important for a father and his family?

Review by Jenny Alvarez

Like Father, Like Son, written and directed by veteran filmmaker Kore-Eda Hirokazu (After Life, Nobody Knows, Still Walking).This story centers on Ryota (Japanese star FUKUYAMA Masaharu), a driven and successful Tokyo architect who works such long hours that he has little time to spend with his wife, Midori (ONO Machiko), and six-year-old son, Keita. When a blood test reveals Keita and another baby were switched at birth, two very different families are thrown together and forced to make a difficult decision while Ryota confronts his own issues of responsibility and what it means to be a father. This movie explores issues of human beings with humanistic touch and how a society makes guilty parents struggle to achieve a healthy life/work balance, especially for families with children younger than 7 years. With no doubts this is a film full of contrasts – the rich control their kids’ time and hobbies, the poor don’t – are italicized. Hirokazu has crafted a warm and lovely film with some dramatic moments especially when dealing with the two families, rather than just the father of its title. Machika Ono, who plays his wife Midori, is engaging as the mother distraught with the guilt that she could not recognize her own son, yet unwilling to part from the son she has called hers for six years. This was the best part of the movie because it happens in real life and all the cast performances are incredible, sensitive and the script is well structured with a good message which teaches us the importance of being a father and how they manage their carriers and family life.

The Past will follow you until your present

Review by Jenny Alvarez

Following a four year separation, Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa) returns to Paris from Tehran, upon his estranged French wife Marie (Bérénice Béjo)’s request, in order to finalize their divorce procedure so she can marry her new boyfriend Samir (Tahar Rahim). During his tense brief stay, Ahmad discovers the conflicting nature of Marie’s relationship with her teenage daughter Lucie (Pauline Burlet).  Ahmad’s efforts to improve this relationship soon unveil a secret from their past, and the highly charged revelations affecting every character in Mr. Farhadi’s complex screenplay unfold with his trademark nuance. Once again he showcases his gifts as a masterful storyteller and director who elicits riveting performances from his cast.

It is an intricate and often brilliant drama, with restrained and intelligent movie especially when the story sustains its momentum due entirely to the writing and performances. The Past is so good even questionable scenes become great as the words when Farhadi could continue beyond his work in A Separation, he’s set that doubt aside. In some scenes you simply can’t and don’t want to stop watching. The Past is Iran’s submission to the 2014 Academy Awards for best foreign language film, despite its French producer. So delicately conceived, each subtle nuance is infinitely more crucial. For each character deserve to be expressed.
