...it's all about heart.
Thomas Vinterberg's movie FESTEN remains one of the most accomplished movies to emerge from the Dogme'95 movement (unsurprising given that he and fellow Danish film-maker Lars Von Trier wrote the original 'rules' for dogma film-making). Very few Directors are capable of developing an effective air of paranoia on screen without a driving narrative. Vinterberg has achieved this rare quality in IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE, a movie that may only have been as effective in the hands of a master such as Roman Polanski. As with FESTEN, Vinterberg's subtle fascination with distorted relationship dynamics continues here but you will need to abandon any hope of a linear story-line and clear moral outcome if you want to be rewarded by this movie.

Chilly Love Songs
After reading a handful of lukewarm reviews of this film I really wasn't expecting much, so I was glad I had followed my Joaquin Phoenix obsession and rented it.
It's not going to set the world a-flame but it's no way as bad as some critics made out. If you liked Solaris, Donnie Darko, Space Odyssey, The Day After Tomorrow, The Paralax View, The X Files, Bladerunner, Paycheck, 21 Grams, Hitchcock, M Night Shyalaman, Wim Wenders, Don't Look Back, etc, then you should give it a go.
The central performances are quietly flawless, the colours are by turns lush and chilled, the direction and crisp cinematography lend the film pace and rhythm which is confident and measured and allows events to unfold - as you can tell I ended up really liking it.
