Vlaznost (2016) Reviews
A story about a man, in a city, alone..
This film reminded me of a cult classic "La notte" by Antonioni. "Vlaznost", like "La notte", portrays a high class woman that has lost her love for her husband and is seeking escape from him. But this film, on the other hand, focuses on the husband. We don't see where the wife goes, but it does not matter. This is a story about a man, in a city, alone. Does this gives him freedom? It tells the universal story about capitalism, alienation, patriarchy, and false illusions about family. All through a dreamy like manner by using dissolve transitions, relative slow pace, and cuts to a car POV at a random highway at night, that keeps going and going... Not sure if the latter makes sense but you'll see. The film at moments gives out a poetic vibe, which suits it very nicely. Its a good film from a country that does not often shine on the map in a film sense, and that's why it deserves to be viewed. It's worth it.
Great movie, so ahead of it's time
If you watched Gone Girl and actually understood it, then this is the movie for you. Just like in Gone Girl, the plot point is Mina, well educated and successful woman (and wife) that goes missing one day. But unlike with Gone Girl, we are not led trough this intricate and elaborate path of murder and revenge. No, and here lies the brilliance of this movie, we are led down the path of absurdity and meaningless of societies perception of what it means to be successful, have family, status and power. Mina, just like character of Amy in Gone Girl, has a different persona for every occasion. And to all people around Milan, her husband, she is this cool, elegant, exquisite super woman. They constantly ask about her, they comment his looks and behavior based on what she would think; and what her reaction would be. We see him completely lost and lacking without her. So, he invents lies and excuses for her absence. And when she comes back, he doesn't even dare to ask her where she was. And this is why this movie is so ahead of it's time. As the times are becoming more and more progressive, men will have to question their roles and place in the world more and more often. And if anything, this movie shows us that men are not ready to deal with that. We see that Milan, has no life, no friends and no family without his wife. Once she's gone, he struggles to find himself. He hides the fact that he's wife is missing. He is afraid to report it to the police. He is free, but unable to cope with his freedom, so he regresses to decadency and self destruction. Excellent movie, but the theme and the subject matter is deep. Be aware. Not for easy viewing.
Bland and bleak
There are couple of possible aspects of this movie (family drama, alienation, love story) but unfortunately neither of them work very well. Main story is about young and successful manager coping with disappearance of his wife. Main character is distant and alienated from both the world and people in his life but also, unfortunately from viewers. Throughout movie I was unable to relate to his story or feel anything at all. Other characters and their stories are cliché at best or completely unbelievable, at worst. It is a very slow move but one that really goes nowhere, with no plot worth mentioning and no characters worth caring for.
Waste of time....
Sadly, this movie is filmed in my country. Looks like some kind of "artistic attempt" which failed in so many aspects. Script is so thin with no real idea where it is going, story is is non existent and confusing with no real questions nor answers. Photography is intentionally dark and depressing... Directing is, lets just say odd, sex scenes are obviously aimed to shock and totally unnecessary (old cliché) One of those movies which make you ask yourself "who ...... gave money to film this movie?" and "how did we ended watching this?" I cant imagine someone actually going to the theater watching this.
Awful
Worst movie I ever watched.... worst worst worst.....
