CRIMINALS AT THEIR LAST BREAKFAST.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on one of the most memorable opening/diner/breakfast/ restaurant scenes in all of film history, the opening café-breakfast scene from Quentin Tarantino's debut, breakthrough, critical and commercial success, "Reservoir Dogs" (1992), written & directed by Q.T.

"In a 1994 interview with "Film Comment" Magazine, Quentin Tarantino spoke about the process of filming the diner scene of "Reservoir Dogs." Specifically, he spoke about how the camera movement is some of the most notable of the entire movie:

"[The diner scene] has one of the most pronounced camera moves in the whole movie, that slow-moving 360 where people get lost, and then you find them again. But while I've got this big camera thing happening — and believe me, it was a big pain in the ass to shoot that — at the same time, the camera is just catching whoever it happens to catch at the time."

The difficult camera work is an interesting contrast to the mundane happenings at the diner table. The meandering nature of the camera almost mimics the flow of the conversation, easing you into this world and setting the metaphorical table, only so Tarantino can yank the tablecloth off later when the heist goes wrong. He explained that he was aiming to make the opening scene feel naturalistic while also showing the dynamic between this group of strangers before their big heist:

"It's not choreographed so that it's on Mr. Orange, and it hits Mr. Pink as he says his line and then finds itself on Mr. Blonde as he says his line — no, it's not doing that at all, people are talking offscreen, and the camera's just doing its own independent thing."

Marygoround 

(Daria Woszek, 2020)

Ambientaciones ochenteras kitsch / inquietantes a lo David Lynch y situaciones grotescas a lo Jean-Pierre Jeunet o a lo Emir Kusturica. Habla de una manera original de virginidad, religión, sexualidad, menopausia. Destacan el diseño de producción, la fotografía, la iluminación y la escenografía, todos cuidadísimos. Cabe mencionar la cantidad de simbolismos visuales, religiosos y no, de los que está sembrada la película. También me ha sorprendido que se haya producido en Polonia, país católico por excelencia, una película que se mofa de manera irreverente de la religión. Sin embargo la trama no se sujeta mucho y sobre todo hacia el final se desinfla bastante, hasta el punto de dejarme con la sensación de haber visto una frikada con mucho valor estético y pocos argumentos.

So cute I want to throw up: a few alternatives to romantic comedies for coming Valentines Day. Part 2.

We all know romantic comedies suck. Read on for Part 2, where I do my best to offer some solid alternatives.

The Love Witch (2016)

Rotten Tomatoes Summary: “ Elaine, a beautiful young witch, is determined to find a man to love her. In her Gothic Victorian apartment, she makes spells and potions, and then picks up men and seduces them. However, her spells work too well, leaving her with a string of hapless victims. When she finally meets the man of her dreams, her desperation to be loved will drive her to the brink of insanity and murder.”

This film is stranger than fiction yet in some in many ways, too real to handle. 

To call it visually astounding would be a complete understatement. Its faux vintage style is means technicolour gaudy colours, from the purple walls of Elaine’s house to the blue and violet eyeshadows she wears. It’s pure 60′s and 70′s kitsch, and since the visual choices are so unapologetic, it’s hard to resist the charm it’s gaudy brilliant look. 

Even how the actors deliver their lines is decidedly vintage. Now there is something so passé about the slightly stunted delivery, a steady, unchanging tone of voice, a slightly vacant smile and stare. They have masterfully captured a style of acting which has been off our screens for almost forty years.

It’s a good thing too, since the clever exploration of stereotypical gender roles, toxic masculinity and femininity, and ultimately how expectations of others in love can drive us to desperation, would be jarring against a more modern setting. It’s almost as if we had to look back to a time where everyone was far more boxed into these roles to better see their fallacy at work. 

There’s also something to be said for the balance the film strikes between tragedy and comedy. The absurd plot is completely contrasted by the protagonist's struggle with her warped sense of identity. Her quest for love will never be successful because she does not understand what it is to be truly loved, she only knows a collection of patriarchal, emotionally unsound lessons, which she had learned from the men in her life. 

If you want to take a gander exploring the dark side of love, this film is definitely for you. You know ,since, romantic comedies suck.
