Review of Lunacy (2005) by Andrew D — 04 Sep 2011
First of all, Lynacy and Jan vankmajer's movies in general are based on the surreal wave of art. This means that the movie created by Jan won't be easy to understand or easy to watch.However Lunacy had a clear plot.
The main actor Pavel Lika,in my opinion, wasn't the best actor for the position of the main character. I consider it as a wrong move because of his poor performance. However I liked the character of Marquis, who reminded me the persona of Dracula, especially in the beginning when he struggled to keep Jean under his wing.
The pictures into the lunatic asylum were quite productive,because of the play between the meaning of freedom (the specific 'game' is common between Socialism and the democratic system). I also liked the scene in the church of Marquis as well as the surreal moments with the body parts.
In conclusion, I feel the need to watch the film again to understand it's hidden messages,given by the surreal view of the director.
