In Utero

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 2007)

Wow, I can't remember the last time I was this emotionally involved in a film. Apacolypto was pretty heart stopping too, but the stakes are raised from fate of one family to fate of the world, and the execution here is nearly perfect. There's very little exposition on the state of the world, much of the back-story is communicated indirectly, TV's, radio's, newspapers etc, which can make it a little hard to piece together fully, if your not paying attention. The drama is unrelenting, the camera work amazing, the music is great, the dialoge especially the conversational bits I thought was pretty natural and worked well to create a false sense of security (moments of quiet before the storm). The Pink Floyd house was great. I couldn't imagine anyone with a pulse not at least being engrossed by this.
