Festival de Veneza 2012 — Dia 9

. SINAPUPUNAN, de Brillante Mendoza (Selecção Oficial)



«Alluring scenery and a sympathetic lead performance help elevate an otherwise tepid, underdeveloped slice of Philippine ethno-drama.»
Neil Young in The Hollywood Reporter.



. LA CINQUIÈME SAISON, de Peter Brosens e Jessica Woodworth (Selecção Oficial)



«A loopy arthouse fable in which the rhythms of life in a rural Belgian community come apocalyptically unstuck.»
Robbie Collin in The Telegraph.



. THE COMPANY YOU KEEP, de Robert Redford (Fora de Competição)



«While nostalgia is otherwise generally the order of the day here, it's not entirely filtered through rose-colored granny glasses, and the pic's colorful, almost-wastefully impressive cast limns a sociologically convincing rogue's gallery of reformed revolutionaries.»
Leslie Felperin in Variety.

«Adapted with clarity and intelligence, and lent distinguishing heft by its roster of screen veterans, this gripping drama provides an absorbing reflection on the courage and cost of dissent.»
David Rooney in The Hollywood Reporter.

Hollywood Buzz #122

O que se diz lá fora sobre THE CONSPIRATOR, de Robert Redford:



«You have to give credit to Redford, Wright and McAvoy, and the other filmmakers. Not many films this smart can be made.»
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times.

«[A] well-meaning, misbegotten movie.»
A.O. Scott, New York Times.

«While the courtroom proceedings compel attention initially, a certain weariness sets in due to the lack of modulation in the discourse, the obviousness of the storytelling and the absence of any real subtext.»
Justin Chang, Variety.

«Once you accustom yourself to this film's unhurried rhythm and old-fashioned Hollywood stolidity, THE CONSPIRATOR is not without its pleasures -- chief among them Robin Wright's quietly fierce performance.»
Dana Stevens, Slate.

«THE CONSPIRATOR is never less than thought-provoking and illuminating. It's an answer to those who moan that they don't make movies like they used to.»
Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter.
