Meow HIIIII give us a review of the last movie you watcheddd
Hi :p the last one I watched was The Messenger by Besson ... My letterboxd review:
This film depicts Jeanne as a desperate woman plagued by her visions, and we see her grow from a traumatized, fresh out of the countryside girl, into a traumatized and unintentionally selfish commander. The cast was nicely picked and physically fits the modern image of the XVth century. Richard Ridings as La Hire was a powerful and balanced presence within said cast.
Writing this movie in English allowed an international cast to prove themselves in this watch-worthy film.
"Secrets of a Strange Wind" is an incredibly fitting soundtrack. It sets the intented mood well in a wonderfully anachronic way - which gives this movie a refreshing and timeless feel.
The time transitions had the power to knock the wind out of me. Some scenes surprised me for their comic potential, but they were well welcome, and a sort of naïveté in the direction made me not get bored throughout this 2h40 long movie.
One thing I did not like was how my memory (as a viewer) was assumed to be short-term, with flashbacks that did not need to be there.
