Review of Container (2006) by Leil Zahra M — 08 Aug 2012
I rented out the DVD thanks to its cover. Bought it the next day! A torturing film, a haunting voice, leaves you digging your nails in your knees and squeezing your heart with your hands. Tears will roll from frustration but also from its caressing tenderness . Poetic, sensitive, perversive and twisted outraged look at today´s world. A micro-look at today´s "modern" society. Watching it is like riding the train of thoughts of someone who can´t keep his/her mind quiet!
Artsy? yes, Worth it? YES! Breaking genres and rules? OH YES! Loved the way the narration moves, the imagery it creates, the hundreds of themes linked in one flowing mesmerizing voice.... left me out of breath and patience, yet with a smile that Moodysson dared do what he did in this movie. My favorite Moodysson film so far.
Not to be watched on any day, yet a must-see!
