#gael garcía bernal#rosewater 2014#ggb filmography gifs#rosewater#gael garcia bernal#to begin with let's acknowledge this is weird casting#not just gael tbh but at least half the 'iranian' cast has no iranian heritage whatsoever#you kind of just have to go with it#but bodnia in particular is mesmerising#film itself is a mixed bag#someone needed to tell jon stewart that just because you CAN do [gimmicky thing] doesn't mean that you SHOULD#in particular there's a mindblowingly cringy sequence about ten minutes in that had me yelling at the screen#but on the other hand there are some beautiful pieces of filmmaking too#there's one ungiffed scene where bodnia rests his head against gael's and it's oddly intimate and almost tender in a fucked-up kind of way#cinematographer was mahmoud al massad#and director of photography bobby bukowski#and i'm going to assume they had something to do with that#anyway this is also really funny (in a good way) in places#which i had not been expecting#and there's a kind of 1001 nights thing going on in the later stages#with him trying to buy himself more time with increasingly fanciful stories
