Filmski kotiček, 30. november 2016 ― aka Revivre Slo naslov: - Angleški naslov: Revivre  Država: Južna Koreja Leto: 2014 Dolžina: 93',  Imdb Žanri: Drama    Slo recenzija: - Režija: Im Kwon-taek Scenarij: Song Yoon-hee Igrajo: Ahn Sungki, Kim Hojung, Kim Qyuri, Jeon Hye-Jin [ENG] Mr. Oh, a man in his mid-fifties, loses his wife after a four-year battle with cancer and proceeds with the funeral arrangements. An executive at a major cosmetics company, Mr. Oh was an extremely devoted husband who took great care of his sick wife. After the funeral, his home becomes filled with guests, including his subordinates who needed to bring authorization-required documents for Mr. Oh with them. With the upcoming summer collection release, there are many issues to deal with, but fact is, Mr. Oh is distracted by something, or rather someone else who came as a guest, clad in a black formal pants suit to the wake: his female subordinate, Choo Eunjoo, for whom he has had feelings for some time now. Juggling between the tasks of tending to his ailing wife and demanding corporate duties, Mr. Oh occasionally fantasizes about Choo Eunjoo’s body and making love to her. One late night, while he is in a cab, he catches a glimpse of Eunjoo passing by and immediately calls her up to meet, but he ends up failing. Then one day, after the funeral, Mr. Oh’s is slapped with the realization that his wife was aware of his hearts towards Choo Eunjoo... [La Biennale] ******************* Demanding a performer who can convey a complex range of subtle emotions not with words but through eye contact, facial expressions and the slightest of body movements, the role of Mr. Oh is a challenging one that only someone of Ahn's experience and innate sensitivity could pull off, and he does so magnificently. Speaking through his candid eyes and relaying inner turmoil through imperceptible shrugs and tired slouches, Ahn shines in a role that demands the full range of his abilities...  [Pierce Conran, Screen Anarchy] Ocena

Filmski kotiček, 28. november 2016 ― Slo naslov: Ogorčenje Država: ZDA Leto: 2016 Dolžina: 110',  Imdb Žanri: Drama Slo recenzija: RTV SLO MMC, Koridor Režija: James Schamus Scenarij: James Schamus, Philip Roth (knjiga) Igrajo: Logan Lerman, Sarah Gadon, Tracy Letts, Linda Edmond, Danny Burstein, Ben Rosenfield [SLO]Via Kinodvor Konservativna, antisemitska in spolno zavrta Amerika petdesetih let. Marcus je zadržan, a blesteč študent iz židovske delavske družine. Da bi lahko odšel na študij prava, se med korejsko vojno izogne vpoklicu. Toda ko se usodno zaljubi v prelepo sošolko, resno ogrozi svojo svetlo prihodnost in velike načrte, ki jih za mladeniča kuje njegova družina. Ganljiva in napeta drama Ogorčenje je režijski prvenec enega najpomembnejših neodvisnih producentov sodobne ameriške kinematografije Jamesa Schamusa (Gora Brokeback, Sreča), posnet po istoimenskem romanu slovitega ameriškega pisatelja Philipa Rotha. Učil sem se pri Angu Leeju, toda marsikaj sem pobral tudi pri Edgarju Wrightu, Gusu Van Santu in bratih Coen. Vedno sem imel privilegij, da sem lahko opazoval njihovo delo iz prve vrste in se s temi režiserji tudi ves čas pogovarjal. Med drugim sem se naučil, da se od njih ne smem preveč naučiti, saj je vsak režiser drugačen. Drugače vodi stvari na setu. Ne moreš si preprosto reči: 'Ang počne stvari takole, zato je to pravi način.' Ang to počne takole, zato ker je genij in si to lahko privošči. /…/ Ker sem prvič režiral, je bila moja glavna naloga poskrbeti, da igralci ustvarijo iskren odnos do filma, zato jim nisem hotel vsiliti svojega sloga. Seveda ima film specifičen videz, ki sem ga skrbno začrtal s tehnično ekipo, raziskovalnim delom in skozi lastno razmišljanje. Toda tega sloga nisem želel vsiliti igralcem pri njihovem delu, pač pa sem skušal ustvariti svet, v katerem bi lahko udobno zaživeli. Pri debitantskih režiserjih, ki imajo zelo jasno predstavo, kakšen natanko naj bo film videti, sem pogosto opazil, da skušajo na setu kup mačk stlačiti v škatlo, v kateri ni n
