In Reply to: "The Best of Youth" and "Reconstruction" - what a great 1-2 punch! posted by Victor Khomenko on February 4, 2007 at 12:28:49:
Songs from the Second Floor: how often do you behold a truly original film mind at work?
Noi: just a brilliant film which omits many of the cliches usual to a story of a young misfit.
The Inheritance: a major film which traces the rise of a man thrust into the leadership of his family--- a Godfather for the thinking set.
Kitchen Stories: clever, understated, but with a warmness infrequently found. A small gem of a comedy with nary a pratfall, cussword, or hurling scene.
Follow Ups:
I also loved kitchen storoes. Laughed and shed a few tears.
what an original piece of work! A charming movie that takes you back. The tests they did in the movie are supposed to be based on fact too, hard to imagine...
so with a subtlety, wit, and humor almost unheard of in these crude days. It's really a very sly commentary on Scandinavian actions during WWII and, as such, has a power which a more forthcoming work would not. I wonder how many Americans would find a film which pokes such fun at the national identity... amusing?
Why films like this don't find greater acceptance, even among film aficionados, is beyond me.
