as in any fable , there are spires , towers and moats , and it ' s a spellbinding saga - a macabre dance choreographed by its romance ' s throbbing heart . mathilde and manech ' s love left its mark in many places , so why not the grungiest and war - torn ?
an engaging and emotional film , which sweeps you into the world of its characters , and has striking cinematography . in fact the visuals are the best thing about the film . it ' s a visual powerhouse of a film , mixing gritty visual conventions of the war genre with scenes of a more romantic visual style , both are done brilliantly . the story and characters are both interesting , and injected with a healthy amount of wit and humour . the writer has managed to perfectly blend various genres , devoting enough viewing time to each . the acting is a mixture of some performance which are almost cartoonishly ridiculous , and some which create deep 3d characters . this film is a brilliant blend of sad realism and enchanting fantasy . it creates its own world and characters , while at the same time reflecting ours . a bittersweet ending just adds to this theme . is it worth watching ? yes it is . you ' re guaranteed an adventure of mixed emotions , and the challenge that the main character faces will keep you engaged and stop you from getting bored .
paramount pictures and bad robot have today officially revealed the full overlord cast . the film , from director julius avery ( son of a gun ) , is based on an original idea by the hunger games screenwriter billy ray and bad robot’s own j . j . abrams .
finding their faith shaken , however , is a nearly universal concern : “if it happened , that means he wanted it , ” one nun wonders aloud to mathilde . “what does he want me to do with it ? ” “the innocents” is the rare film that examines the nature of religious belief in a non - judgmental way ; actually , it’s more about strong , brave women protecting each other and doing what they must to survive . the starkness of the setting and the spare , fluid camerawork from cinematographer caroline champetier make the drama of their decisions pop that much more in ways that are both shocking and enlightening .
and that’s essentially it . what these people are like , how they pass the time , how they really feel about each other , what they talk about , where they live , and how they relate to the progress of modern history that is presumably occurring outside their mansion are details of little importance to this film . at one point , almost teasingly , tran begins to sketch a curious sort of relationship between gabrielle and mathilde , who are freely physically affectionate with one another , and visit every single evening . but then a solemn voiceover informs us , “no one knows what they talked about . and they’re all dead now . ”
when colonel pretis of the u . n . falls in love with mathilde , a local girl , during the balkans war , he lets his passion overcome his sense of duty and responsibility in a country torn by civil war . but his emotions and the beautiful croatian seaside blur the tragedies of war . . . until they all catch up with him in the most fatal manner .
struensee rises to a position of almost dictatorial power at court . the film is right that many of the reforms he enacted were remarkably progressive . these included a decree that aristocrats , who had previously been allowed to build up enormous debts without legal penalty , would henceforth be imprisoned for failing to pay back what they owed . ninety per cent of them immediately scurried off into hiding . viewers may find themselves feeling that modern europe could do with a few struensees to take on its bankers . unsurprisingly , the ultra - conservative faction at court has it in for him . the film ' s depiction of what happens next is sadly accurate .
previously - announced overlord cast members jovan adepo ( the leftovers ) and wyatt russell ( everybody wants some ! ! ) are being joined by jacob anderson ( game of thrones ) , dominic applewhite ( the king’s speech ) , pilou asbaek ( game of thrones ) , iain de caestecker ( marvel’s agents of shield ) , john magaro ( the big short ) , mathilde ollivier ( the misfortunes of francois jane ) and bokeem woodbine ( fargo ) .
audrey tautou shines in a powerful , sepia - toned love story about a woman on a multi - year quest to find her fiancé in the ashes of the first world war . though plodding by times , this is a film with a wonderful aesthetic , lots of greens and golds , much like jeunet ' s other famous work , amélie . shot for shot , it ' s as beautiful as anything , and you see the story unfold from teller to teller effectively through the eyes of the heroine . a very solid movie . , , and if you think it ' s a chick flick , surprise ! marion cotillard and jodie foster turn up , if the war scenes weren ' t enough for you . . . dudes . . . see this film .

of course , none of this is accidental . and as the film goes on , one begins to grasp the simple yet ineluctably profound message that the director is sending : birth is always a miracle , no matter how many times we witness it ; death is always sudden and often meaningless , no matter how many times it touches our lives ; and adding our own tiny entry to the succession of generations may be our only lasting mark on history . perhaps there are few truths more profound than this , and the obvious affection with which tran lingers on footage of infants swaddled in their mothers’ arms can’t help but be affecting in itself . but without any such attention paid to the eventful span in between these two extremes , the gossamer beauty of life that the film clearly wants us to ponder too often goes missing .
one of the more daring sisters dashes into town to fetch a doctor , trekking through forest trails and war - torn streets , and the dusting of snow that accumulates on the hem of her habit leaves a vivid impression of cold and isolation . the no - nonsense mathilde beaulieu of the french red cross ( de laâge ) initially is reluctant to leave her busy post to help . but once she arrives at the convent , she’s shocked to discover that at least a half - dozen young nuns also are in advanced stages of pregnancy .
fontaine explores this fraught situation from every angle and with great humanity . mathilde , for starters , is a stoic non - believer . she is all business—the voice of reason in a place of sacred mystery . and while she initially accepts the sisters’ blessings and prayers politely , she eventually opens herself up to the powerful role faith plays in their lives . when de laâge smiles or cries even slightly , it’s a revelation , and the vaguely romantic relationship that develops between her and a smart , self - deprecating fellow physician ( a heartbreaking vincent macaigne ) allows her a few stolen moments of much - needed joy .
as the reverend mother ( kulesza ) and her right - hand woman maria ( buzek ) matter - of - factly explain it , soviet soldiers invaded the convent and repeatedly raped the women as the war was ending . they can hide their bulging bellies under their robes , but only for so long . reverend mother views these pregnancies as a source of great shame and seems far less concerned about the psychological trauma these women must be experiencing . as she grudgingly agrees to let mathilde assist with the deliveries and after care , she insists the births must remain a secret , and promises to arrange adoptive homes for all the newborns immediately .
alone among assassins , jack is a master craftsman . when a job in sweden ends more harshly than expected for this american abroad , he vows to his contact pavel that his next assignment will be his last . jack reports to the italian countryside , where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell . the assignment , as specified by a belgian woman , mathilde , is in the offing as a weapon is constructed . surprising himself , jack seeks out the friendship of local priest father benedetto and pursues romance with local woman clara . but by stepping out of the shadows , jack may be tempting fate .
the cool , observational style that has marked much of fontaine’s work , including the lush biopic “ coco before chanel ” and the deliciously tawdry “ adore , ” serves her well here . working from a sensitive script by sabrina b . karine and alice vial , fontaine lets the inherent horror of the film’s situation speak for itself , which makes it that much more startling . and she draws finely nuanced performances from her ensemble cast , especially stars lou de laâge , agata buzek and the great agata kulesza ( “ ida ” ) .
young caroline matilda ( alicia vikander ) meets her betrothed ( mikkel følsgaard ) at a crossroads , where he is relieving himself against a tree . according to historian p nors , their real first meeting was
exceedingly romantic
, to the point where 17 - year - old christian
committed a number of awful breaches of etiquette by embracing and kissing her repeatedly in the presence of the whole court
. the film is right , though , that he soon tired of her . christian had suffered a brutally abusive upbringing at the hands of his guardian , ditlev reventlow : regular beatings had often left him writhing on the palace floor in agony .
he ' s been difficult since childhood ,
the film ' s reventlow explains ,
but i think most of his problems stem from excessive masturbation .
the king ' s excesses also included drink , sado - masochism , handsome young men and prostitutes , most famously støvlet - cathrine , or catherine - of - the - boots . the danish court considered it appallingly bourgeois to be in love with one ' s spouse .
in the film , struensee and caroline matilda bond over a shared passion for enlightenment ideas . though struensee was a free - thinker , there ' s scant evidence of intellectualism in caroline matilda ' s biographies . furthermore , in trying to present struensee ' s relationship with caroline matilda as a pure , charming romance , a royal affair delicately leaves out court gossip that he was also having an affair with her lady - in - waiting , elisabeth von eyden . it was said that he carried on with both women for quite some time , making them spittingly jealous of each other .
“from star - studded features directed by master filmmakers to the best independent documentaries and foreign films of the year , this big - screen celebration spotlights the highest caliber and most talked about films vying for oscar , ” said aspen film artistic director maggie mackay . when we drink water , every day we have essential habits , so it is very necessary to consider the quality of water . water filter 3 can help people to solve this problem to a great extent , and it can also help people to improve the health of life . whirlpool filter the pure water filter of a brand is more suitable .
tran’s sheer skill as a filmmaker ensures that some of these births and deaths land with great poignancy . for example , shortly after valentine sends her oldest boys , identical twins , off to an unspecified war , we see the arrival of a government communiqué that clearly augers bad news , and as the camera lingers on the letter , we notice that there are two identical ones . yet so often are these sorts of scenes repeated that it becomes safe to assume any child seen bedridden with an artfully applied sheen of sweat , or even lingered upon in closeup longer than the others , will no longer be a part of the film going forward .
in dalarna , sweden , the lonely hit man and craftsman jack has a tragic encounter with two assassins hired to kill him and survives an ambush . jack travels to rome and calls his contact pavel ( johan leysen ) that meets him in a cafeteria , gives a fiat tempra to him and asks jack to travel to the countryside for a next assignment . sooner a woman called mathilde meets jack and delivers the specification of a sophisticated weapon to be constructed by him . while living in the village and building the weapon , jack befriends the local priest and has sex with the prostitute clara . the distrustful jack gets closer to clara and sooner they date outside the brothel . when jack tells pavel that this work will be his last one and he will retired after delivering the weapon , jack is betrayed and he does not know who can be trusted .
for the first forty minutes or so , “my old lady , ” the film directorial debut of respected playwright israel horowitz , adapting his own play , is a “no problem” proposition . that is to say , because horowitz is a respected playwright for good reason ( his 1960s two - hander “the indian wants the bronx” is , i suspect , still a staple for acting workshops and small theater companies to this day ) , the writing’s no problem . and because the cast is topped by kevin kline , maggie smith , and kristen scott - thomas , the acting is no problem . and because the movie is set in paris , specifically the extremely - suffused - with - conventional - gallic - charm marais section of the city , the views are no problem .
“he not busy being born is busy dying . ” bob dylan’s oft - quoted 1965 lyric could well serve as a plot summary for vietnamese director tran anh hung ’s first french - language feature , “éternité , ” which trains a painterly eye ( and a fetish for immaculate production design ) on three generations of an enormous aristocratic family that stays busy doing little else . featuring an embarrassment of great actresses ( audrey tautou , mélanie laurent , bérénice bejo , irène jacob ) near - silently emoting for the camera as their characters process constant birth and death for the better part of two hours , “éternité” is a meditative , gorgeous - looking film imbued with such gentle sensitivity that it’s difficult to dislike . yet the experience of watching it is much like sitting in an opulent garden café on a glorious spring morning , waiting for a meal that never arrives .
there is the devil to pay in denmark ,
wrote horace walpole .
the queen has got the ascendant , has turned out favourites and ministers , and literally wears the breeches , actual buckskin .
sadly , the film does not show caroline matilda ' s famous penchant for transvestism , which outraged copenhagen even more than her extramarital affair . she was often seen walking through the city arm in arm with struensee , both of them wearing tight - fitting leather breeches and scarlet coats . the effect particularly alarmed her ladies - in - waiting , for the real caroline was more sturdily built than the one in the movie .
if only she were well made , i could understand her walking about in that costume ,
wailed mme von gramm ,
but just think of her hips , her – quarters !
yes , her royal bum looked big in that .

tran anh hung’s first french - language feature is a procession of births and deaths in a family whose actual lives remain largely mysterious .

set to the dulcet tones of birdsong and classical piano ( bach and debussy especially ) , the overwhelming majority of “éternité’s” dialogue is delivered via an omniscient voiceover — half an hour has elapsed before anyone has a conversation of more than two sentences , and it’s longer still before anyone makes any sudden movements or loud noises . and while that robs the story of much urgency or conflict , it’s hard to imagine it would be possible to keep track of the central family’s exponentially - expanding numbers without it .

veteran french director anne fontaine approaches a spiritually and emotionally complex real - life slice of history with deftness and understated drama in “the innocents . ”
“the innocents” begins at the end of world war ii in poland , december 1945 . serene , austere benedictine nuns sing sweetly in the quiet stillness of morning—until a piercing scream echoes through the stone hallways , sending a chill . turns out , it’s coming from an extremely pregnant , young nun who’s on the verge of giving birth—and she’s not alone .
but the nuns themselves also get the opportunity to evolve in unexpected ways . they may all look alike at the start with their uniformly plain appearance , but each reacts to the prospect of being a mother differently—especially given the devastating way they became pregnant . most were virgins before they were violated ; others had known men before coming to the convent and speak longingly of the freedom of their previous lives . one nun giggles nervously during her examination while another recoils in fear and shame .
and although the ending wraps things up in a quick and tidy way that’s jarring , given everything that preceded it , “the innocents” still represents a welcome change : a war movie by women , about women .

princess caroline matilda , sister of mad king george iii of great britain , was married off to mad king christian vii of denmark at the age of 15 . she later began an affair with his chief minister , johann struensee .
christian ' s mental illness is soon so severe that a full - time physician must be engaged . enter johann struensee ( mads mikkelsen ) , who vigorously encourages the king ' s carousing and whoring . christian and struensee roll in late from a brothel excursion , earning a ticking - off from caroline matilda .
the world ' s full of princesses , and i got stuck with the grumpy one ,
christian complains . struensee expertly diagnoses that the queen is
in a bad mood
. in fact , she had a serious illness at this point – one whose details have not been recorded , but which apparently nearly killed her . court gossip plausibly suggested it was a venereal disease : probably an unwelcome gift from her husband .
a royal affair is a watchable and historically respectable retelling of caroline matilda ' s extraordinary story – but what a pity we didn ' t get to see her in drag .

10,000 km is a spanish romantic drama film directed by carlos marques-marcet .

it film stars natalia tena and david verdaguer as a couple trying to make their relationship work , while one lives in barcelona and the other in los angeles .

the film had its world premiere on march 10 , 2014 at the sxsw film festival and received the special jury recognition for best acting duo .

the film was released on may 16 , 2014 in spain and on july 10 , 2015 , in a limited release and through video on demand by broad green pictures in the united states .

10 , 000 km

special citation for best shot : ( a tie )
10 . 000 km
at least two factors drive “10 , 000 km’s” far - larger - than - usual release .
david verdaguer in
10 , 000 km .
( oscar fernandez orengo / broad green pictures )
necessity is the mother of invention in
10 , 000 km ,
for the characters and filmmaker alike .
looking for movie tickets ? enter your location to see which movie theaters are playing 10 . 000 km near you .
the capability to exceed 10 , 000 km in range , a distance capable of potentially threatening new york or san diego .
“10 . 000 km” is rated r ( under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian ) . sex and the longing to have more of it .
a second factor is the hammond brothers’ aim to support and bring on new talent . “10 , 000” marks the feature debut of carlos marques - marcet , an early movie from la panda . bgp already backed “10 , 000 km’s” campaign to snag a spanish academy oscar submission , with the title making the final - three - title - cut to become’s spain’s entry . for “10 , 000 km , ” it has hired cinetic media to handle marketing , brigade for pr .
and “10 . 000 km” itself , like its numerical title , tends toward abstraction . alex and sergi are finally less a couple than a problem , a mathematical equation that doesn’t quite balance .
the jury is , of course , still out on just how “10 , 000 km’s” box office or indeed vod play will play out . but it does have several factors in its favor .
the df - 31 system has an estimated range of nearly 10 , 000 km , enough to deliver a nuclear warhead to the capitals of europe or the west coast of the u . s .
the major challenge for “10 , 000 km” may not be very different from that for most other indie movies opening in the u . s . : thanks to multiple new distributor entrants , the sector is a much - more crowded space than just a few years back . “10 , 000 km” opens the same day as “tangerine , ” another l . a . indie movie with critical backing .
the american independents audience award went to 10 . 000 km ( spain - usa , pictured ) by carlos marques - marcet and sarah adina smith’s the midnight swim ( usa ) took the breakthrough audience award .
“10 , 000’s” u . s . bow comes eight days before 2015’s platino awards where “10 , 000” has scored a nomination for first feature . on paper , arguably with matias lucchesi’s “natural sciences , ” which topped mexico’s 2014 guadalajara fest , it weighs in as a category frontrunner .
marques - mercet and his actors establish an intimacy with the audience that ' s practically unique . even if you love it only a little , not completely , you will probably remember
10 , 000 km
for the rest of your life .
the opening scene of “10 . 000 km , ” which is more than 20 minutes , follows alex and sergi through the intimate rituals of a sunday morning : making love , making breakfast , brushing their teeth , imagining the baby they are thinking about having .
china has flight - tested an upgraded version of its 10 , 000 - km range dongfeng missile which could reach most of the u . s . and european cities , days before its national day on october 1 , 2014 to demonstrate its nuclear capability , media reports said .

earlier state media reports said beijing would roll out the dongfeng - 41 , a system designed to have a range of 12 , 000 km , allowing it to hit targets anywhere in the u . s .
most worryingly , lewis noted the reported 45 - minute flight time of the missile and other data , which would “be consistent” with longer - range estimates of the weapon’s capabilities — perhaps putting its range in the 10 , 000 km range — distance enough to put continental u . s . locations at risk .
it ' s not about going fast . it ' s about going far . — 10 , 000km
by the end , we realize that the 10 , 000 kilometers have nothing to do with the physical distance between the two lovers and everything to do with the emotional gap that is created in their lives .
joshua pollack , a non - proliferation expert with the middlebury institute of international studies at monterey , california , was less confident that the 45 - minute flight time guarantees a 10 , 000 km range , but noted that if that range is in play , north korea would be able to hold naval hub san diego as a target .
currently playing in nyc and on various vod platforms , the film may be a hard one to hunt down , but it is one that begs to be seen and discussed . the year’s greatest romance film , 10 , 000 km is a delicate , nuanced and emotionally powerful look at the tolls a long distance relationship takes , even today .
“10 , 000 km” is about the strain of that . she is british born and would have an easy adjustment were she to move to america , but sergi doesn’t speak english . before the e - mail , he thought he had a permanent situation , with a baby possibly on the way soon . now everything is up in the air .
in carlos marques - marcet’s debut feature 10 , 000 km , the title refers to the distance which now separates a couple after a job opportunity forces them to face the challenges of dating remotely . marques - marcet , who previously edited the equally subtle relationship film it felt like love , proves that long distance relationships are just as difficult now as they were before smartphones , the internet , and social media made it easy to stay constantly connected . instead of concerning itself with elaborate backstories or uplifting messages , 10 , 000 km immediately focuses in on a pivotal point in an intimate relationship . authentic presentation and relatable situations makes the film easy to sympathize with and difficult to look away from .

one couple , one year apart and two distant cities : los angeles and barcelona . love is alexandra and sergio ' s only weapon and their computers their only tools to fight 10 , 000 kilometers that stand in the way of their future together .
mr singh said he will now rest , and then starting mapping out a new challenge - this time over 40 , 000 kilometres .
10 , 000km . cc is a collective of cyclists that celebrate the joy of the journey and putting in the distance , consistently .
it’s hard to know what to make of this , but it’s quite enough that it happens at all . the film has some longueurs — it isn’t scintillating for every second of screen time . but marques - mercet and his actors establish an intimacy with the audience that’s practically unique . even if you love it only a little , not completely , you will probably remember “10 , 000 km” for the rest of your life .
but as demonstrated in “10 , 000 km , ” in which long - distance lovers struggle to bridge the vast gulf between spain and southern california during a year - long separation , those screens are more likely to act as frustrating barriers than accessible portals into your partner’s miles - away soul . virtual simply can’t beat reality when it comes to bonding over the small details of human existence , whether cuddling , arguing or sharing a joke .
by the time the first scene is over , it’s established that she will go to los angeles for a year , and he will stay in barcelona . he’s a teacher and has a certification exam to study for . for most of the rest of the movie , we see the two of them communicating by computer , separated by about 6 , 000 miles ( roughly , 10 , 000 kilometers ) and a nine - hour difference in time zones .
the opening scene of “10 , 000 km” is one of this year’s movie miracles . it begins with a rather explicit morning sex scene between a long - term couple , then shifts into cozy postcoital discussion , in which we find out that the two are trying to have a baby . they seem very happy , and sergi ( david verdaguer ) is particularly unguarded — as open and full of feeling as men often are in life and rarely are in movies .
on the flip side , marques - marcet illustrates how technology can have a negative effect on relationships . communicating through text can be slow and frustrating and facebook creeping grants an uncomfortably close vantage for partners . 10 , 000 km also makes a keen observation that data centers are where many relationships physically exist in the digital era . despite a wealth of information and instant communication being just a click away , the film reminds us there is no substitution for physical contact .
that may hardly seem a hell of a rollout . but — with one exception , the weinstein co . release “eva” — the last spanish - language movie from spain to see such a screen - count bow was “the orphanage , ” getting on eight years ago , which picturehouse opened on 19 screens in very late 2007 , per pau brunet , “10 , 000 km” exec producer and , in a parallel life , the doyen of spanish box office analysts at urltoken
davis said the missile was launched from mupyong - ni , and said it traveled “about 1 , 000 kilometers before splashing down in the sea of japan . ”
10 , 000km – one couple , one year apart and two distant cities : los angeles and barcelona . from award - winning director carlos marques - marcet , comes a love story about the challenges of a long distance relationship and the role of technology in fighting to keep a romance alive . release date : july 10
director carlos marques - marcet does something remarkable in these first minutes of “10 , 000 km . ” even before the e - mail , before any mechanism of story has kicked in , the audience is entirely involved in the life of this couple . one feels as though one would be perfectly content to watch them for hours , as they go about their lives , and this sense of involvement is no doubt related to the method of filming , to its all being done in one shot .
both portrait and product — produced by barcelona’s lastor media and la panda , a l . a . production house headed by young spanish emigres – of the diaspora of spain’s newest and brightest talent abroad , “10 , 000 km” centers on a couple in their early 30s , sergio and alexandra , who are trying to sustain a long - distance relationship , with sergio in barcelona and alex in l . a . their reliance on virtual technology – skype , text messaging — proves as much of a barrier as a lifeline .

two people in love , two apartments – one in barcelona and another one in los angeles – and the images of their past , present and future . can love survive 10000 km ?
an ultra marathon runner who set himself the task of running 10 , 000km in 100 days in the scorching mumbai heat has collapsed with exhaustion just 36km short of his goal .
as the days stretch into months ( the film keeps count as we jump ahead at random intervals ) , alex and sergi discover the limits of these tools . the filmmaker , in contrast , makes ingenious use of them , finding novel ways of placing screens within his carefully composed shots . for a while it seems as if google , facebook and skype must be the sponsors of “10 . 000 km . ” but this isn’t product placement ; it’s life as we know it . those companies are collaborators , makers of images and enablers of feeling .
friday’s missile did enter space , davis said , which led to the conclusion it was an icbm . an icbm is defined as a missile that can travel farther than 5 , 500 km .
the distance is also a strain for the viewer , in that a scene on skype can’t have anything like the impact of that opening scene . but what remains consistent and even deepens over the course of “10 , 000 km” is our belief in this couple as real — as in people that we like , and have grown accustomed to , and feel for . in a way that’s rare , we start to become fond of them in the way we would individuals in our lives . we come to like the way they smile or express surprise or look embarrassed .
broad green pictures ’ gabriel and daniel hammond are putting their money where their mouth is . bursting onto the scene at 2014’s toronto with the proclaimed desire to cultivate talent , and paying a reported $ 3 million for u . s rights to andrew garfield / michael shannon - starrer “99 homes , ” from ramin bahrani , this weekend broad green will put its back behind the u . s . theatrical release of spaniard carlos marques - marcet ’s long - distance love story “10 , 000 km , ” bowing it in the u . s . on 11 screens in 11 cities .
at the beginning of 10 , 000 km , alex ( natalia tena ) and sergi ( david verdaguer ) have sex , express their mutual hope that said coitus will result in a baby , and then go about their morning routine in their barcelona apartment . all of this occurs over the course of an unbroken , 20 - something - minute take . it emphasizes the couple’s intimacy , suggesting their oneness even when they’re in different rooms . but the shot continues . alex receives an email informing her that she’s won a year - long photography residency in los angeles , and the tone suddenly shifts .
north korea launched a ballistic missile july 28 that showed a capability of reaching the continental united states . the missile traveled about 1 , 000 kilometers ( 620 miles ) before splashing down in the sea of japan .
long distance relationships have a tendency to expose and magnify existing problems in romantic relationships . such is the case for the lovers at the centre of carlos marques - marcet ' s impressive , sensitive , and heartbreaking debut 10000 km .
mumbai ( afp ) - tormented by blisters , illness and injuries , indian ultra - marathoner samir singh got to within 36km of his goal of running 10 , 000km in 100 days when pain and exhaustion beat him .
that isn’t exactly an earth - shattering insight , but first - time director carlos marques - marcet comes close to emulating what it is like to attempt to maintain a personal connection via services such as skype by stripping his story down to its essentials : a man , a woman and a loving relationship that is sorely put to the test . this sort of cassavetes - esque filmmaking is the polar opposite of something like “men , women and children , ” jason reitman ’s over - reaching attempt to put digital - age risks in perspective on a grand scale . as a result , “10 , 000 km” instead feels authentic and raw , with only the occasional risk of torpor sneaking through .
much of 10 , 000 km is an effective desktop film , in the vein of noah ( the 2013 short ) or this year’s unfriended . through social media and google maps , it’s able to open up beyond the mere two apartments in which it was filmed . many shots take the point of view of alex and sergi’s skype sessions . the internet can collapse the mental gulf between individuals , but the movie suggests that physical separation can still be too much for a relationship to take , even in spite of great love . it’d make this point better if there was a clearer sense of just who these people are . ironically , the audience ultimately feels more alienated from these lovers than they do from one another .
alex ( natalia tena ) and sergi ( david verdaguer ) have recently decided they’re ready to have children after dating and living in barcelona together for seven years . but fate has other plans when alex gets offered a once - in - a - lifetime job opportunity . the catch ? accepting this residency position means alex will be living in los angeles 10 , 000 km away from sergi for an entire year . naturally , the decision doesn’t come easy for the couple , but eventually they agree it’s too important to turn down . besides , one year apart can’t undo the seven they’ve already shared right ? all of this ( and more ) happens with an impressive 20 - minute shot that remarkably captures a whirlwind of emotions without a single cut .
a kilometre ( american spelling : kilometer , symbol : km ) is a unit of length equal to 1000 metres ( from the greek words khilia = thousand and metro = count / measure ) . it is approximately equal to 0 . 621 miles , 1094 yards or 3281 feet .
alex is offered a yearlong residency in los angeles , 10 , 000 kilometers from barcelona , the kind of opportunity that is almost impossible to refuse . she doesn’t want to refuse it , and sergi doesn’t want her to , and their separation is the subject of carlos marques - marcet’s astute , formally impressive film . the long - distance relationship is not an uncommon phenomenon in contemporary life or , for that matter , in modern movies . a not - bad hollywood comedy on the subject , “going the distance , ” starring drew barrymore and justin long , was released in 2010 .
“the u . s . department of defense detected and tracked a single north korea missile launch today at about 10 : 41 a . m . [ eastern daylight time ] , ” said davis , reading the official statement . “we assess that this missile was an intercontinental ballistic missile , as had been expected . ”
alexandra and sergi make love in their tiny barcelona apartment . they’ve decided to have a baby , but find their plans dashed when alex receives an offer for an artistic residency in los angeles . understanding this may be alex’s last chance to re - launch her photography career , the couple decides to put their plans on hold for a year . separated by 10 , 000 kilometers , alex and sergi must rely on virtual communication to keep the flame of their relationship alive . but with their realities no longer shared and the touch of one another gone , the technology that has supposedly brought the world closer together may just tear them apart .
