Scarlet turns Shakespeare into an animated fantasy epic

Well, I was wrong, and I did manage to go to the last day to the Toronto International Film Festival. One of the films I wanted to see the most this year was ScarletThe last of Mamoru Hosoda, whose most recent film was the fairy tale Metaverse Beautiful. While this film was a reimagination of Beauty and the beast,, Scarlet is a touch Hamlet It’s full of daring and creative ideas. I especially appreciated it, but unfortunately, it is self with an end that is not really suitable.

I also managed to tighten in two other films: a Korean vengeance / robbery thriller and a Norwegian film on connection via art. You can read my thoughts on the three below.

It is a lot to sneak in a single festival, and I appreciate all those who followed. Now I’m going to take a nap.

Even if the opening indicates that everything happens relatively ok, Y Project Remains fascinating and unpredictable throughout. It starts as a turning film. Two best friends (Han So-Hee and Jun Jong-Seo) worked hard for years and are about to withdraw from their horrible work for good, but they then meet an arc sequence that completely erases their savings. So when they hear about a hidden cache of money, they cannot resist. They are caught, of course, and the film goes into revenge mode. There are a few incredible moments along the way, but Y Project has a kind of relentless tension reinforced by an absolutely vicious villain (Kim Sung-Cheol). Just be notified: there are very horrible sequences of torture.

It is a space known as “another world” – neither heaven nor hell, but rather a desert where people find it difficult to manage, and a massive dragon and a dragon prowls the sky striking people with lightning bolts. The fantastic element of the film is strong, just like the resolute quest for revenge of Scarlet. But the film takes place towards the end, with a happy ending which seems very moved.

The sisters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) are trying to adapt to a troubled childhood after their father, their mother’s father, Gustav (Stellan Skarsgard), again on the death of their mother. It is a discreet but powerful film of Worse person in the world Director Joachim Trier, and this partly happens by understanding trauma through art, because Gustav is a legendary director who tries to make his most personal film to date. Sentimental value is filled with moments of intestinal punch like when Nora asks him You? “But it brings it together in a way that really seems full of hope and touching.
