A Sublime Story!,
By
Ce commentaire est de: Character (Widescreen) (DVD)
Character is a story told in flashbacks as the young lawyer, Jacob Katadreuffe, is taken in by the police after the death of a man. It seems like Jacob has committed the murder and the police listen to his story in order to find a motive for the murder. However, Jacob tells the story in order to prove his innocence. The narrative begins from Jacob's birth until the present time where the audience is provided with opportunity to follow the development of Jacob's character and his quest for self-actualization. Occasionally, the story is interrupted by questions from the police, however, these interruptions offer moments of reflection and transition between the acts in a very clever manner. In the end, the audience experiences a sublime story through an investigation of Jacob's disposition, which leaves room for self-reflection on the fabric of our own nature.

This film is probably the best movie I've ever seen in my life. The direction is impeccable as well as the acting. The art direction is also fabulous.

Consider this film as one the ten best of the nineties!,

Ce commentaire est de: Character (Widescreen) (DVD)
This film throws again to the ring to Neetherlands in the rank of great directors. This film deserved The best foreign film in 1997 ; but its inner values are far beyond this prize.Imagine what the film talks about ; you must fight not onlñy with the elusive and challenging fate that day after day wait for us when we leave from home . Our main character has to prove to his own father he's a winner ; against all the obstacles he finds in the road. His father is a hated human being ; a man without a bit of scruples. Since he was a child , was forced to fight , and always followed his bliss . This film represents not only a personal challenge but also a life experience ; a no mercy story that disturbs the viewer . The performances without exception are of first rate ; (loaded with the same essence we remind of that ancient concept from Italy in the forties titled neo realism - De Sica ,Roselini - , that really had its origen with Tony from Jean Renoir in 1934), but with a very twisted difference ; his epic commitment instead the bitter and hopeless endings , typical of those ancient classical films (Germanny anno zero , Roma cittä aperta, Paisa , The bycicles'thief and Umberto D) . Mike van Diem made a unique film ; a jewel of countless carats. And to me , one of the one hundred best films in any age! A must in you private collection!
