Another Brutal Dumont Mystery
Now finally "dared to" watch my third movie by Bruno Dumont
HUMANITY = L'HUMANITÉ
France 1999
from before both Twentynine Palms and Flandres
which I have some kind of love/hate-relationship to
and this was maybe even more so
To try to make the picture more clear
here's some directors I find Dumont (or at least this movie)
to have most common traits with :
a bit like David Lynch
in the mysteriousness, where some main characters seems to be almost monsters
a bit like David Cronenberg
in the socio-biological themes close to body (parts), discovering the borders between life and death
a bit like Robert Bresson
in the emotional potentialities, showed by zooming in on small gestures and symbolic signs, but possible to confuse with complete lack of emotion
a bit like Roy Andersson
in long, still, silent scenes... and long, still, silent scenes... portraying what can be caricatures (though much less comic in Bruno's works)
a bit like Dardenne brothers
in a narrow social context with foremost physical forces, a certain part of ordinary life
a bit like Quentin Tarantino
in the abruptness combined with chilly, maybe immoral characters
a bit like Pier Paolo Pasolini
in a childish or even animalistic kind of frame with concrete, non-refined acting
a bit like Alfred Hitchcock
in psychological turns around what could have been a plain detective story, but is rather about motives or experiences than intrigue or results
whole movie

6 Conflict (Grumpy)
5 Thrill (Sneezy)
6 Process (Sleepy)

Three Iranian Movies Differ Much
from each other, leaving me with quite a confused picture of Iran /Teheran.
Though all three follows the pattern of riding rhapsodic between humans interactions, it's like watching three very different worlds.
Two of them are made by even the same director, where earlier portrait feels like a nightmare and later portrait seems a charmful story. Well, of course he as well as the culture could have changed alot during fifteen years...?
