Primeira meia hora: com vontade de sair da sala; segunda meia hora: a querer queimar todas as praças de touros do mundo com todas as minhas forças; terceira meia hora: a apreciar a forma ridícula como os sidemen do toureiro am todo o tempo a lamber-lhe os tomates (literal, nunca vi um filme com tanta bajulação meta gay sobre os tomates de um personagem); e quarta meia hora: a chorar de raiva, desolação e impotência perante o que estava a ver. 
Se apreciei o filme? Difícil dizer isso quando a violência da morte dos touros é exposta de forma tão crua e brutal, e quando a minha incompreensão sobre o porquê de isto ainda existir tornou-se em militância total anti-touradas. Que é esta a realidade e, como está escrito nos créditos finais, o filme apenas limitou-se a mostrá-la? Não duvido e isso ainda me revolta mais. Se era esse o objetivo? Também não faço ideia, e a julgar pelas conversas que ouvi no final do filme (a idade média da audiência rondava os 70 anos, diga-se), tenho as minhas dúvidas. Mas fica-me o consolo de o toureiro retratado ter odiado o resultado final.

Ruppemi l’alto sonno ne la testa
un greve tuono, sì ch’io mi riscossi
come persona che per forza è desta;

e l’occhio riposato intorno mossi,
dritto levato, e fiso riguardai
per conoscer lo loco dov’ io fossi.

Vero è che ’n su la proda mi trovai
de la valle d’abisso dolorosa
che ’ntrono accoglie d’infiniti guai.

Oscura e profonda era e nebulosa
tanto che, per ficcar lo viso a fondo,
io non vi discernea alcuna cosa.

«Or discendiam qua giù nel cieco mondo»,
cominciò il poeta tutto smorto.
«Io sarò primo, e tu sarai secondo».

Dante - Inferno - Canto IV
——————————————————————-

A heavy thunder shattered the deep sleep
within my head, so that I straightened up
like someone shaken awake by violent force;

and standing up, I moved my rested eyes
around, and scanned the space, and tried to learn
what place it was that I had come to now.

I found myself upon the brink of a
great cliff: before me, the abyss of Hell—
so deep and clouded that I could not see the bottom of it.

“Now let us descend into the blind world here below,”
the poet, deathly pale, began.
“I go first, and you shall follow me.”

Dante - Inferno - Canto IV

Kaleidoscopic and dense, mixing documentary and fiction, past present and future, and amazingly rich visual intensity with hallucinating editing. As someone from the audience said in the q&a after the screening, it will take some time to process all the information and stimulus that we were bombarded with. But it sure felt important.

Podem ter demorado mais de 10 anos a montar este filme - segundo Vasco Câmara na sessão de Q&A que se seguiu à sua projeção, este é talvez o mais perto que Portugal tem de um “filme-maldito” - mas o que realmente o torna transcendente é mesmo o seu fabuloso e embriagado trabalho de câmara - impossível chamar isto de “filme teatral” quando a câmara não pára e anda por todo o lado, em movimentos cheios de significado. Fabuloso e embriagado são aliás adjetivos que se aplicam na perfeição a toda esta obra intemporal e, parece-me, zénite de um certo movimento cultural que aconteceu em Lisboa entre finais de 1970s e início de 1980s - e que amava ter vivido.

“Did you cum?”

A movie that touches (literally) many subjects and materials - prosthetics, mechanics, scars, flesh and metal - in the most direct and unsubtle manner, in what can loosely be described as a bonkers tale about the search for the ultimate orgasm. Still as fascinating as ever, in the way it creates a parallel universe and then grabs the viewers by their balls and puts them right in the center of it. 

This time around, even more details emerged for me, like how all characters walk like zombies, adding new layers and subtexts. Perhaps we’re all just bored to our core in these meaningless lives and that orgasm becomes a question of life and death.

“Maybe next time”.

Rewatching this and realizing that growing up and losing loved ones made me also lose all my cynicism, because I was now able to fully see this movie for what it is:
- A delicate, genuine and heartfelt work full of very valuable life lessons given to us in the most tender way (and not preachy at all), showing in full light a unique sensitivity that is always present in his movies but usually a bit more buried;
- A subtle and balanced play with our expectations, not only as for what a Lynch movie can be but also as for what movie watchers in general should expect, period  (e.g.: the scene where the camera first frames the tractor moving, then goes up focusing on the sky, and then goes down again showing us - contrary to one million similar scenes we’ve seen before in other movies - the tractor at almost the exact same place. Pure gold!);
- For the two previous reasons, I’ve discovered today that this is probably the most David Lynch movie David Lynch has ever done.

Well, what can I say? Watching Twin Peaks many years ago altered my brain chemistry forever and made me who I am today, and this movie was its pinnacle, at least until The Return. Seeing it today in the cinema, for the first time after his death, made me really emotional, like watching History unfold in a big screen and being completely swept away by it, with some of the most iconic movie scenes ever to be created (the main theme coming 35 minutes into the film, the final scene and its faith in salvation, and so many more!). So I’ll just leave this with a big Thank You David. You’ll forever be one of my heroes.

Não vi os dois anteriores mas sobre este tenho a dizer: FILMÃO.

EDIT: entre o muito de bom que o filme tem, é impressionante como não se levando a sério (e com um sentido de irrisão alucinante), ao mesmo tempo nos envolve tanto, não só nas espetaculares cenas de ação como também nos seus momentos mais emocionais - e foram muitos os soluços que ouvi durante a sessão a que fui <3

A bit less epic and cryptic than I first ed it (ah the perks of growing up), its plot can very loosely be summed up as “lesbian romance goes very wrong”, and I do prefer my Lynch in its more radical form (Twin Peaks: The Return, Inland Empire). Still, a masterclass on filmmaking, in all senses.

Pqp que filme tão bom. Que trabalho de som notável. Que wet dream de simbologias maradas. E que pesadelo para quem precisa de explicações para tudo na vida.

Alguém me insira dentro deste filme para viver sempre com o sorriso nos lábios com que saí do Nimas <3
(e que lindo a música continuar a ouvir-se ainda durante largos minutos após os créditos finais, já com o ecrã totalmente negro, como se o filme nos dissesse “levem-me convosco”).

Sometimes you just want to be immersed in a good story and this one does it really well, in 3 hours that by in the smoothest way. The social messages on top (do you prefer to spend 3 years in prison or working for 20 years in a bank?) also don’t hurt.

Evil Does Not Exist 2l6x6o 2023 - ★★★★★ https://letterboxd.conexionsite.com/pedro__mendonca/film/evil-does-not-exist/1/ letterboxd-review-751869613 Sun, 29 Dec 2024 10:53:04 +1300 2024-12-28 Yes Evil Does Not Exist 2023 5.0 1156125 <![CDATA[

Coisas que se destacaram num segundo visionamento:

- A construção perfeitamente geométrica: contemplação do ritmo da localidade e das personagens - introdução do glamping como mero Macguffin para melhor explicitar as tensões subterrâneas - o consequente aumento do ritmo nos diálogos - o final. 
- O mal que afinal existe e está sempre presente, mesmo (sobretudo?) naquele que é provavelmente o filme mais “bonito” do Hamaguchi. Não só na música e nos cortes repentinos da montagem a acentuarem um
mal-estar subjacente, mas também em detalhes como os cadáveres dos animais, as plantas venenosas, os caçadores...
- As mensagens políticas, não só anti-capitalismo mas na própria relação de suposta superioridade com que o Homem se vê perante a natureza (em alguns casos, bem subtil: porque razão os veados hão-de mudar de sítio?). 
- O final, nesta segunda vez um pouco menos indecifrável mas mesmo assim totalmente arrebatador (!!).

Black Panther 36384t Wakanda Forever, 2022 - ★★½ https://letterboxd.conexionsite.com/pedro__mendonca/film/black-panther-wakanda-forever/ letterboxd-review-748215318 Thu, 26 Dec 2024 14:15:26 +1300 2024-12-25 No Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 2022 2.5 505642 <![CDATA[

Visually stunning (I know, I’m stating the obvious), added by a political sub context that leverages this movie above the usual MCU fare. But am I the only one thinking there’s some xenophobia in the way Wakanda and Talokan cultures are portrayed? (Or has my brain just been exposed to Twitter mental diarrhea for way too long in my life?)
