Cat 4. Drama/Romance

Scenes from a Marriage
Ingmar Bergman
1974

Dense, heavy, depressing. Yet after having seen this film you only feel happy for having experienced great art.
Liv Ullman is per usual, outstanding.

Bonus #1

Before Sunset
Richard Linklater
2004

Everything I love about film is here. Uninhibited naturalism. Long takes. Smart and flowing dialogue. Beautiful cinematography. Impetuous charm.
Don't mind too much leaving out the goat Rohmer when the natural heir made a perfect film.

Himizu (2011)

Wildcard
Dir: Sion Sono

This one sneaks up on you and hits you right in the heart, particularly as it deals in part with the tsunami in Fukushima. Very powerful work from Sono at his most sober and serious.

The Conformist (1970) - Wildcard #2

Director: Bernardo Bertolucci

"A weak-willed Italian man becomes a fascist flunky who goes abroad to arrange the assassination of his old teacher, now a political dissident."

One of the most visually stunning films ever made. Not only because of the beauty of the shots themselves, but how it manages to transmit the different themes and the main character's frame of mind with very little dialogue, using mostly composition and colour. Going from the pale and symmetrical shots at the begging, portraying the suffocating, lifeless but still stylish life of the protagonist in fascist Italy. To the extra saturated and chaotically composed shots in the middle part. Revealing his inner passion and attempt to break from the "norm". To the blue and cold ending, framing the main character with negative space all around him. Showcasing the emptiness and loneliness of his chosen path, moral cowardice.

A masterful example of visual storytelling, that everyone should see.

3. Wildcard! Fantasy - Constantine - Francis Lawrence

Constantine is a 2005 American superhero horror film directed by Francis Lawrence in his directorial debut. Written by Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello, it is loosely based on DC Comics' Hellblazer comic book. The film stars Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, a cynical exorcist with the ability to perceive and communicate with half-angels and half-demons in their true forms and to travel between Earth and Hell. Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Djimon Hounsou, Gavin Rossdale, and Peter Stormare also feature.

Constantine was released theatrically in the United States on February 18, 2005. It grossed $230.9 million worldwide against a production budget between $70–100 million, but met with a mixed reception from film critics. A sequel is currently in development
