The Gentlemen (2020)

[IMDB; en.wikipedia]

Entertaining.

Coherent and Consistent storyline.
A lot of twists and turns.
Really smart.
Never drags. No dead time whatsoever. Keeps the viewer focused on the story the whole time, from the very beginning to the very end.

Really good acting. All actors deliver a really good performance. Really good chemistry between all of them.

Really good with respect to everything else: cinematography, post processing, soundtrack etc.

The cinema experience is a must.

This must (it must, ok?!) become a classic like Snatch (2000) [IMDB; en.wikipedia] has, directed by the same Guy Ritchie.

Definitely deserves some Academy Awards nominations, yet has not received any.

Much better than Knives Out (2019) or Joker (2019) or Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) or in fact anything that I've seen in a long while.

Conclusions

Definitely worth watching. Time well spent.

Review de teatru: Nunzio @Cuibul Artistilor (Bucuresti)

[Post published by Liviu, on Liviu's [Personal] Blog]

Ultima oara am scris in Martie 2019 despre Cuibul Artistilor - piesa "UAU".

Intre timp, am mai vazut (dar nu am scris, aparent, lazy me!): "Arta", "Treapta a noua" si "Dumnezeu de a doua zi".

Mi-am amintit de ei si am fost din nou - piesa de teatru:

Nunzio

Interesanta povestea.
Drama - suferinta & durere in stil european, clasic, cu mici glume pe parcurs.
Dorinta lor e sa creasca si awareness-ul despre autism, au cautat si challenge-ul de a realiza un proiect mai delicat ca acesta etc. - le-a iesit bine.

Foarte bine jucat.
Ca intotdeauna, imi place ca se simte ca pun suflet, isi dau silinta, transmit mesajul etc.

Mi-a placut... dar problema mea e ca nu prea diger eu bine dramele, nu prea am apetit pentru drame pana la capat, fara happy end, in stilul european :) - daca facem abstractie de mine, atunci clar piesa merita, atat pentru poveste, cat mai ales pentru jocul actoricesc.

S-a jucat in sala noua - au renovat frumos, singuri, bravo! Foarte buna ideea de a purta cipici de plastic, ca sa se pastreze curatenia mai mult timp!

Pret: donatia recomandata este de 30 ron.

Concluzii

Drama, jucata foarte bine. Merita - si merita foarte tare mai ales pentru cine are apetit pentru drame.
