This week’s movie review: “First Day of My Life,” “First Slam Dunk,” “I Love You Madly,” and “The Origin of Evil.”


Inexhaustible heroism Tony Cervelo And by one of the most famous Italian actresses of recent times, Magherita BuyAnd The first day of my life It responds to a certain idea of ​​the Italian author and commercial cinema at the same time, and it is also a great story told in a realistic way.

The starting point is curious. A man, two women, and a child with no desire to go on living are presented with the mysterious person played by Servillo, something like fallen angelOr maybe die tired-style The three lights By Fritz Lang W The seventh seal by Ingmar Bergman, but with another mode of representation. The individual suggests that they think for a week What would the world be like without them and to see if, in this way, they return to have the will to live.

exit Paolo Genovese Part of the novel alone to weave the relationships between these four characters and their lack, and what they expect from a world from which they wanted to disappear. Some of the dialogues and situations put us down slightly New era, without grim edges, too flat for the moral tensions many of these doomed characters are supposed to suffer through. The interpreters gather as the text becomes ingrained and lose the fluidity that the film’s raw tapes had on the unfathomable mystery of human existence. – Kim Casas

First salam dunk The culmination of the great epic Slam Dunka Basketball success sleeve and Teenager written and illustrated by Takehiko Inoue that later became a TV series and movie. Inoue himself is responsible for making this movie, which is more or less like a recap and final point of the saga.

It can be enjoyed without being a fan of basketball or a fan of Japanese cartoons, according to their established rules. Eno’s work may seem somewhat academic, far from the radicalism of others mangakas and animators, but his drawing and movement are very plastic, with diluted colors like watercolors, and general plans in which nothing is neglected Close-ups with a kind of expressiveness sometimes make one think of the line of Jiro Taniguchi.

The story reveals another transgression through sports and romantic relationships. Through sequences set in different temporal levels, we are told the story of A.J The missing bulletAnd his relationship with the world and the ball. The choral confrontations between the ensembles of the different prefectural institutes are the framework for the individual conflicts and solutions of the wayward Hanamichi, the protagonist of the epic. Being so long, the match sequences are very accurate and believable, sometimes almost in real time. Best catch marks, dunks and baskets. – Kim Casas

I love you madly

First solo feature film by Alejandro Marín, among others director Lost Lot (2021), a series created by Bob Pop, Filled with commitment, anger, and affection, and despite adversity with a desire to celebrate life. What is not a little. This is its great virtue, especially in these times. I love you madly She is seen as honest and energetic.

About the birth of the LGTBIQ + movement in Andalusia in 1977, Marín’s film (who signs the script with Carmen Garrido) puts Remy at the center of the story, a widow who enters this movement, oddly connected to the Church, to help his country. The teenage son (Omar Banana) is a gay boy who wants to be an artist. Perhaps because of the same need to tell things with strength, clarity, and anger, I love you madly Sometimes it seems too self-explanatory. And the aesthetic recreation of the time is a bit artificial (Although in this sense there does not seem to be an obsession with rigor). However, all of these things are masked by the energy of the group (that mixture of anger, vindication, and celebration), Marin and Garrido’s ability to tell the tragic side of the story without falling into the excitement and warmth of the characters., lovingly translated by Anna Wagner, Omar Banana, Alba Flores, La Dani or Alex de la Croix. – Desiree Fass

This grandiose tale of misery within a family, betrayals between lovers, toxic patriarchy, and murder strives at all times to catch the viewer wrong.. Director Sebastien Marnier supports the narration on a series of missing information – imaginary situations, unspeakable secrets, deceptive motives – that gradually emerge, and at the same time make it oscillate between the zone of melodrama, the zone of melodrama, excitement and a grotesque farce while portraying a woman in financial difficulty trying to connect with her wealthy father, who was never on her side, and his hostile family. Is money what a newcomer is looking for? Is it passion or revenge? What does her domineering father hope to get out of her? In his search for answers, the movie turns into a display of outrageous behaviour.

The origin of evil It’s a blockbuster movie and a good portion of its characters are just caricatures. And while on the one hand this prevents him from exploring the issues he talks about—class conflict, mental illness, generational hatred—on the other hand, it contributes to his effectiveness when it comes to showing a sense of pride. campRespect Claude Chabrol, Succession And other archetypes are more valuable than them and, above all, keep us and those characters trapped in a web of colorful fluctuations. – Nando Salva
