Amer


















http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1426352/
I don´t really know how to describe this movie. But let´s try atleast.
Mix in the cinematography from Susperia - the use of colors and the suspensfull scenes. Also add some of the italian trademark from the late 70s and early 80s - extreme zooming in on the eyes, for example, and other bodyparts. Mix in some sensuality, eroticism from the movie Lolita and try to do it with todays standards, without any necesserly dialoge. Feel like this would suite you? Then, you will love, adore and feel confused when you see Amer.

However, it is somehow unfair to mention these movies becouse Amer is a movie that anyone can appriciate and love. You may not understand - don´t get me wrong on this - but the beauty of this artistic poetic surrealistic semi ghost story is simply mindblowing in all it´s freedom.

Ana enfant - The young Ana (Cassandra Forêt) lives with her mother (Bianca Maria D'Amato) in an big old house, in the big old house an older woman lives next door to Anas room. What happens in that episode has much meaning to what happens in the second episode, Ana adolescente - where Ana are a teen, now played by Charlotte Eugène Guibeaud and here is the erotic parts happens that in some way reminds me of Lolita.

Marie Bos as Ana adule; Ana the elder. Her erotic visions and somehow nightmarish fantasy towards men is filmed in such a way that you almoust feel ashamed for watching it. Not only the cab scene where her panic turns her on, but also the bathtub scene later on.
I will not try to review Amer any further, becouse this is a masterpiece you have to see and understand for yourself.

Remember this when you watch Amer.
This is a tribute to the artform itself.
Amer is a story told in picture, colors, sounds, excellent camerawork.
It might be a subtile horror movie, but Amer is somehow a lovestory, For the love of cinema and all the dreams it creates.

A definitive Must Have. For everyone.

No stills this time becouse first thing; it would be unjustice for the movie and for you.
Second; You have to see this for yourself.
