Angels of the Universe

Posted : 5 months ago on 21 March 2008 11:28 (A review of Englar alheimsins)

Normal guy. Normal family. Not exactly normal, but, ordinary relationship.

With the end of the relationship comes sadness - quite common. With sadness comes insanity. And now the story truly begins.

One can never know what will happen when mind gets out of control and acts like it had independent life.

Logic fails. Freak wishes arrive, but they don't really look like freak and we just follow them. Madness comes closer and closer, slowly. The brilliant actor Ingvar E. Sigurðsson shows us this dilatory progression. By the way, Ingvar was nominated for the European Film Awards for best acting.

At a certain point the family is no longer able to cope with the odd behavior.

Our leading character is sent to an asylum. There, where any hope is expected to be left out, human beings interact and true friendship rises.

And the movie goes on showing us that, if life isn't something easy to deal with, it can be much worse when you can't get your mind under control.

The soundtrack features the compositions of Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson as well as two songs by the Icelandic band Sigur Rós: Bíum bíum bambaló and Dánarfregnir og jarðarfarir. This last one fits perfectly at the ending climax. What is that? Here goes a hint: it is very much to the like of romantics :)

Simply the best Beethoven work I've ever heard. He was very far away from his time...

Original and good: rare combination

Posted : 6 months, 3 weeks ago on 26 January 2008 08:00 (A review of ( ))

A LOT of original songs were composed this century. But it is really rare to see something GOOD. That's Sigur Rós.

Tracks 1 to 4 give a delightful sensation of being in a nice mood.

Tracks 5 to 8 bring you to the "dark side of the moon" (yeah, I also love pink floyd \o/). A relaxing melancholy comes in this part, mood gets dark as you look into yourself..

Nice experience...

Amen - sinopse

Posted : 8 months, 1 week ago on 13 December 2007 08:32 (A review of Amen.)

Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, um cientista alemão tem a missão de fabricar uma substância tóxica que, segundo ele acredita, será utilizada pelos nazistas para atacar pestes animais. Ao descobrir que seu invento seria utilizado para o Holocausto, Kurt Gerstein, o cientista, arrepende-se e passa a buscar valores religiosos, inclusive informando a Igreja Católica da tragédia que estava sendo cometida todos os dias com os judeus.

Sweetness

Posted : 8 months, 2 weeks ago on 4 December 2007 04:00 (A review of Surfacing)

Sweetness: the word to describe Sarah Mclachlan. Sweet voice and piano, songs sweetly sung and played. This comes with deep touching lyrics. Although, this is not a depressing album. There are slow and sad songs as "I love you" but some more "up" as "Building A Mystery" and others... Really recommended.
