Review of mother! (2017) by Mr L — 18 Oct 2017

The new film from the Director of cult films "Requiem for a dream" and "Black Swan" Darren Aronofsky - the same twisted to the limit Thriller, with so deep a atmosphere that reduces the cheekbones, with great camera work "by hand" and, unlike the rest, not the most typical of the Director's script. Maestro Aronofsky praised the work of ordinary people with a difficult fate, by showing the horror, without removing the horror. Here things are a little different. In "Requiem" Darren spoke on the topic of human dependence and weakness, which gradually kill them, "Black Swan" is about the fears and insecurities, dreams and horrors of human life, but "mother!" on the other.

It all starts quietly as always, there's a little family (Lawrence and Bardem), who lives in a huge house. He had long ago working on a new poem, She - settles house, which it restored after the fire that happened at her husband before they met. She works days, working on wall color, arrangement of furniture and other furnishing the home, not forgetting the husband, giving him all the affection and care which she has, but virtually unanswered. And all was well until on the threshold appeared a mysterious elderly physician, bringing with it a series of events, so phantasmagoric, shocking, how can the imagination of Aronofsky. And it allows you very, very much.

Essentially the entire plot - from a quiet and relaxing start to an incredible and frightening finale - this is all one big parallel with the plot of the old Testament, the first part of the gospel. Nothing more about the plot I will not say, because then everyone will see his. I can only say that what I saw amazed me.

In the end we have another masterpiece and a living classic Aronofsky, impregnated with his personal unique style and worthy of his previous works. For me "mother!" - best film in 2017 at the time of writing the review. Bravo!
