Revolver is a no ordinary thriller. It has a story that reveals itself, little by little, one step being more clever than the other. It is a crossword for very strong solvers. One thing is for sure: if you like riddles, you will enjoy it fully.
My rating: 08/10
Although a science fiction fan, this film is not the best of breed. Except for its ending.
My rating: 07/10
People meet near the end of their lives, going to a distant place for most of them. A place totally different from where they have grown, a place with a different culture, habits, a place that insults the senses as no other place can do that. Yet, it is like a wave: resist and you are lost, go with it and you’ll get to the other side. English self-sarcasm at its best, well portrayed characters, and so much
wisdom in that film that it could not but come from a book.It is not only the tag line I adored in the movie:
It is the way they are blended into the plot, the density of the story, the acting, … everything, at the right amount. What could a better closing be than the scene where two cross-cultural, at opposite ages, couples greet each other bike-riding?

The festival ended on Sunday. Yet, the essence of the last movie I saw, “The Beasts of the Southern Wild” was still “played” in my head.

This was a much better festival than the one last year.
