European Cinema 2013-2015
"Une Nouvelle Amie" is a French production which was released in my country's theaters over two months ago. To be honest, I did not know many things about this movie, but I had not even intended to watch it on the big screen. However, my participation in a contest with a free double invitation to the Avant Premiere of the movie, it was decisive! I have to admit that it was the first time I won tickets after I literally have spent a whole fortune at the cinema. So, I didn’t have high expectations from "Une Nouvelle Amie". "Une Nouvelle Amie" begins with the friendship of two young girls, Claire and Laura, which remains constant over the years. However, once that Laura births her child, she will die after a very short time and the tragic event will cause Claire to fall into a deep depression. The latter will unexpectedly meet a special and eccentric woman called Virginia and she will develop friendship with her that will make her to discover unknown aspects of her life. Having read a similar summary of the film (this is my own though), I felt that "Une Nouvelle Amie" is a purely female movie. I was definitely sure that I would be unbearably bore in the cinema hall. However, the film was not at all predictable as it has been predisposed to me by the summary of the promotional brochure for the film and I showed enough interest in the development of it. "Une Nouvelle Amie" is based on the homonymous novel by Ruth Rendell. The recognized French director François Ozon, was the one who undertook the directing and the script of the movie. Having seen the good enough "Dans La Maison" two years ago, I can say that "Une Nouvelle Amie" had mystery and plot twists. In addition, the interpretations of the two protagonists Romain Duris and Anais Demoustier were very good and they could both have a nomination for the César Awards. Actually, only Romain Duris was a candidate! "Une Nouvelle Amie" had also well-written script, good photography and moving melodies by composer Philippe Rombi. Despite this, the imagination of the director went wild in the last half hour of the film and some of the script gaps left us unanswered questions. Let alone, its plot reminded me a combination between Almodóvar's stories and the erotic scenes of "La Vie d’Adele." "Une Nouvelle Amie" is a social / drama although it has some very funny moments. Essentially, it is about the power of friendship and the personal choices of each individual and aptly presented through the eyes of director François Ozon. It was nominated in two categories of the César awards, including "Best Actor" and "Best Costume Design", from which it could have comfortably won the “Best Actor” category. However, it is a film that is seen pleasantly by everyone as it contains some scenes that might shock some viewers. It's one of the good movies that I've seen so far for this year and it deserves much more than the relatively moderate rating which received by IMDb users (6,6). PTxemtwFgks I loved the soundtrack!!! qg4w_oq0b70

The Divergent Series : Insurgent
"Insurgent" was released in my country’s theaters over two months ago. It is the second film of the series "Divergent" which is based on the homonymous best-seller by Veronica Roth. Having seen the first film a year ago, I can say with confidence that it was one of my favorite adventures of recent years! The success of "Divergent" was not limited to the technical effects but it had a deep meaning too. "Insurgent", however, seems to be quite different from the first film, judging only from the official trailer of it. And indeed this happened, after having more action and more stunning visual effects! Tris, Four, Peter and Caleb go to "Amity ". There, Joanna who is the leader of this faction, will help them to hide but soon they will be discovered by the army of Jeanine. From that point, it will begin a relentless chase and Tris along with Four and Caleb will end up in the heart of Factionless. However, Jeanine desperately tries to decipher the symbols of all factions which are found in a box, in order to learn very important information about them. However, only a divergent can decode it and the most capable of all of them is clearly Tris. Anyone reading the plot of the film cannot understand too many things since it is necessary to have previously seen the first film or at least have read the books. It is not predictable in its development, and it doesn’t have simplistic plot, so the viewers have to be particularly careful during the film. "Insurgent" has spectacular action scenes, very beautiful photography, loud sound effects and a remarkable soundtrack. The last 45 minutes of the film will amaze you over completely! The interpretations of the actors were quite good and Shailene Woodley persuades us once again that she was best suited for the role. Lionsgate entrusted the directorial part of the film to German Robert Schwentke, who did a great job and for this reason he received positive reviews from critics. However, the latter hadn’t the same opinion about the storyline, too. Having seen his previous films such as Flightplan, The Time Traveler's Wife and Red, I realized that he gave his best in "Insurgent". In addition, the new film stands out enough for its elaborate montage, the action sequences and the imposing scenery of it. "Insurgent" has had a very successful run in the Box Office, surpassing $100 million in revenue! It is already the twelfth most commercial film in America for 2015 and it will definitely be inside the thirty most profitable movies at the end of the year. In the first week of release, it had similar acceptance outside the United States and it is already considered one of the most successful trilogies ever! Personally, I quite liked it because it was a worthy sequel that had several twists in the end. I hope they will do the same in the next two movies, since its producers followed the famous formula which always yields more money to the studios. Last chapter = 2 movies.

European Cinema 2013-2015
"Hermosa Juventud" or "Beautiful Youth" is a Spanish-French social film that participated in last year's Cannes Film Festival. It was screened in the competition section "Un Certain Regard" and it received an Ecumenical Jury Special Mention! In my country, it's official release date was delayed. Only one cinema choose to have it in all of Athens over two months ago. I had previously seen the official trailer but the fact that it didn't go unnoticed in the last Cannes Film Festival, it totally intrigued us. "Beautiful Youth" discusses the most topical issue facing Europe in recent years, which is nothing more than the economic crisis. The Spanish director Jaime Rosales aptly uses the relationship of a young couple who is confronted with the difficulties of our time. Carlos and Natalia virtually represent (as characters, lifestyle etc) thousands of young people in Southern Europe who have lost every dream and hope for the future. After a while, they decide to shoot an amateur porn video, with the only purpose to make money. However, after some time, Natalia becomes pregnant. With the coming of the child, things will become even worse for them, because jobs are not available anywhere but they both haven’t financial support from their parents. The latter, of course, are in the same situation with their children after the crisis because it just hasn't effected an age-specific population, but all kinds of people. "Hermosa Juventud" has an intense dramatic style, but at least it hasn’t the familiar cliché type such as tears, hysteria, weeping etc. Jaime Rosales along with Enric Rufas wrote a realistic scenario, which doesn’t have the goal to stir feelings but more trouble or worry the audience. The fact that the director enriched the image of the film, with personal moments from the life of the protagonist couple, that passed in the form of slide show on the screen, so that to gain time with this way of directing, it was something that made it stand out from the other European productions last year. However, he used social media which is an integral part of life of current youth. In addition, the interpretations of the two young actors were nice, the directing was quite good but the progression in some parts may have tired most viewers. It is one of the few movies I've ever seen in my life, which concern young people and it was so slow. Let alone, the director made very close-ups on the faces of the two protagonists, something that I have never appreciated in other movies too. Despite this, I liked the whole result and it managed to spread several political messages with the particular story. "Beautiful Youth" - which was not so beautiful for argument's sake - is a remarkable European production that aptly reflects the economic environment in Southern Europe. Do not expect to see something that you do not know, because the same things are happening in the majority of European countries in the last five years. Nevertheless, the scenario will help you to reconsider many things since the story of the young couple is not too far from our own lives. In the IMDb, however, it did not touch the few users who rated it although the film received fairly good reviews from the experts in the film industry. PS Carlos looks exactly like Zayn Malik.
