This masterpiece is not for everyone!

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2017)

"Mother!" is not a film to be taken lightly. Personally I watched it 2 times in 24 hours! When watching Mother!, it's important to know that you probably will not understanding everything from the first viewing in the state of mind usual viewing that we all when going to the cinema; in search of efficiency, chills, poignant acting and a desired scenario. In the end, Darren Aronofsky's latest achievement fits it perfectly but we just have to give our mind time to digest and assimilate this cinematic monster. In this sense, "Mother!" is a masterpiece and those who consider it the worst movie of the year simply think they find the same efficiency as a classic American Blockbuster with superheroes who save the world or zombies that invade the Earth . Do not take them into account, they just did not make the effort to understand. This film marks and leaves an indelible mark and I completely agree with the fact that this film provokes our habits of cinema and will not leave you indifferent. It's a film that divides. He uses a metaphor in a common frame to talk about a much more universal and powerful subject and in this we can only recognize the tortured leg of the director by thinking back to his previous films like "Requiem for a Dream" or "Black Swan" . Ambiguity and mystery seem to be the main words of this game. The atmosphere is heavy, even stifling with these shots very close on the faces of actors, especially that of Jennifer Lawrence, who, like us, is in misunderstanding and surprise at such behavior. If we look at this part at the first step, we could think of old horror films like "Rosemary Baby" or "Amityville: the house of horror", and inevitably we risk being disappointed because this part leaves room to a second much more amazing but very different. Always under the yoke of metaphor, she is more violent, heterogeneous and incoherent. I personally found it terrifying. Time has no value, human relations either. This house that seemed to be a paradise turns into Hell where the man takes possession of the place. Behind this magisterial hiding place hides a cruel portrait of our current society that forces us to rethink our place on Earth and our very existence and in this, I find that the director signs a coup de maitre! Everything is referenced and no element is left to chance: we then reflect on the value and meaning of our scriptures, especially Genesis and Revelation, the extremism of worship, and simply human nature who is portrayed as selfish and rotten from within. The explanation is not spontaneous, far from it. For my part, I came out disconcerted and perplexed and I left the images of the film decant in my memory and I also read the meaning that wanted to give the director behind all that and suddenly, all s is enlightened and then I saw the genius behind "Mother!" In addition, the film is performed by incredible actors who arrive very quickly to make the situations irritating and unbearable. Jennifer Lawrence delivers a performance while restraint but very sensitive and we understand only after all the subtlety with which she had to juggle. His role is incredibly complex. Javier Bardem, it is very disturbing: one does not know if it belongs to the same human race and its role remains for me a great mystery. I particularly enjoyed Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer who are chilling while being very friendly. The meaning of their role and the translation into a domestic setting is a real success. In any case, this film is a cinematographic experience that one very rarely has the opportunity to live in the cinema. This ultimate power and whirlwind of human horror does not make "Mother!" That's more gorgeous and intriguing and it's arguably the best movie of the year.
