MOVIE FACTS
MOVIE REVIEW
( NEW DIRECTOR DAREN ARANOFSKY TELLS A STORY ABOUT DEPENDANCE, DRUGS AND ADDICTION WHICH CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN. YOU FOLLOW TWO PARALLEL STORIES : THE FIRST ONE FEATURES AN OLD LADY(ELLEN BURSTYN) WHO TRIES DESPERATLY TO FIT IN A DRESS TO BE ON TELEVISION. THE MEDECINE SHE'LL BECOME ADDICTED TO THE REDUCE-FAT MEDICINE SHE'S USING. THE SECOND STORY IS ABOUT HER SON WHO DEALS WHITH DRUGS AND TRIES TO BUILD A DRUG BUSINESS ALONG WITH THIS GIRLFRIEND(JENIFER CONNELLY) AND FRIEND (MARLON WAYANS). THE STORY IS SO HOOKING AND SO INTENSE THAT YOU END UP FEELING REALLY DOWN AT THE END OF THE MOVIE. THE DIRECTOR DID A VERY GOOD JOB AND YOU CAN DIRECTLY SPOT HIS TALENT IN HIS SCENES BECAUSE HE USES MANY FILM-TRICKS (QUICK IMAGES, REPEATED SEQUENCES, HEAVY SOUNDS ....) THE CAS IS REALLY PERFECT : ELLEN BURSTYN PORTRAYS HER CHARACTER IN A MAJESTUOUS WAY AND YOU CAN WONDER IF SHE DESERVED THE OSCAR RATHER THAN JULIA ROBERTS LAST YEAR . JENNIFER CONNELY AND MARLON WAYANS ARE ALSO EXELLENT IN A SURPRISING WAY .
SO ,THIS MOVIE IS REALLY A GOOD ONE AND WE KIND-OF MISS THIS KIND OF MOVIES NOWADAYS. IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT SOME DIRECTORS ARE STILL IN FOR THE QUALITY .!
DVD REVIEW ( THE DVD IS FAIR. FIRST OF ALL, YOU GET THE DIRECTOR'S CUT OF THE MOVIE WHICH IS, IN MY OPINION , BETTER THAN THE CINEMATOGRAPHIC RELEASE. YOU HAVE SOME INTERESTING FEATURES TO DISCOVER : VERY INTERSSTING DELETED SCENES , AN ORIGINAL MAKING-OF , INTERVIEWS WITH ELLEN BURTSYN AND HUBERT SELBY JR (THE WRITER). THE MOST INTERSTING FEATURE IS THE DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY ON THE MOVIE. OF COURSE , YOU HAVE YOUR USUAL TRAILERS AND BIOGRAPHIES .....
