Close Your Eyes
Staring the year with Close Your Eyes (2023) and what a way to start the film journey for 2024.. film as a medium for self-discovery, human connection and our preserved time.
Close Your Eyes
I watched this because I was bored. Pretty solid short film. Cool looking villain. Good horror aspects for 3 mins lol.

This is so dry. Believe me, I understand. Cinema saves. Lives. Love. Us. I get it. But this was done with a dryness that neither invites you to love the characters. The camera is too still, too scared, to shy to perform in what seems to be a film released after such a long hiatus. So then it becomes self-indulgent, masturbatory, more a journal entry than an actual film. All the core elements are there, but there isn't love in it. We have the bones but not the body. No warmth to the body. The film is still stuck in the second or third draft, an editor absent. There is only the pace of a man at the end of his life, creating works too long for their own good in that late-Scorsese way. Not worth the time. Not even the end. If we want to talk about how cinema saves and the recollection of memories and reaching for the past to make sense of our present, Jonas Mekas did it better.
Close Your Eyes
Cerrar los ojos es como si Cinema Paradiso de Giuseppe Tornatore se añejara en una secuela melancólica y solitaria sobre el rencuentro de la esencia, anclado desde la fascinante reconstrucción de la memoria y ese rencuentro hacia lo esencial y vital de un recuerdo evocado por las experiencias, experiencias que en gran parte compartimos en las salas de cine y en las historias que vemos. Victor Erice entrega con amor, una obra maestra para quienes aman el cine, una remembranza hacia la memoria y los recuerdos, una película melancólica hacia el pasado y los reencuentros enlazados.
