Have you seen Her?
Just watched Under The Skin. Was a bit let down. I'm a fan of the directors previous work in Sexy Beast and i love surrealism along with Kubrick and David Lynch movies or anything avant garde but this just didn't do it for me. I think it would of been more suited to being a short film. i found it to be very repetitious.
Werckmeister harmóniák - One of those that's not for anybody. My guess is that many will find it boring, dull and say it has no point. Yes, it's kinda 'hard' to watch but imo totally rewarding. One of those that makes you wonder and raise series of question about the movie and even humans. While watching I couldn't help but think of Tarkovsky on many occasions, which is pretty rare (at least from those movies that I've seen). Full of symbolism and mystery, something that poets like our famous Russian managed to pull. The raid on hospital really reminded me of Andrei Rublev's scene in church where the war represented apocalypse. Great movie without a doubt.
Ex Machina - I had no idea about the movie aside from it being sci-fi and with an AI plot, just stumbled across it as I didn't fancy the rest.
Really loved it, something to enjoy and best seen on the big screen. The cinematography and score was very similar to Moon, very eerie and melancholic. It's as beautiful as it is scary. Not perfect, but all sci-fi takes an intellectual leap.
