ended year and decade (some call Naughties ) and in this blog are about the age of five. The blog has changed almost as much as me at this time. I've gone through times where I've written a lot and others, in which the blog has been very neglected. In the last year the blog has become a haven to inform you about the projects that I'm gone and I no longer shed here my opinions about the film I've seen. The month of February will be an important month for me, and we'll end up with fear Juan 35 mm. That same month, half a decade as abide blogger, as is the right time to do a facelift to this blog and guide to what really is today: my personal website. To be faithful to the tradition, here we go with the ten best films of 2009. As always, it is necessary to indicate that this is a listing based solely on subjectivity, so these are the ten that I really liked me and above all, based on what I've seen in theaters. Failing to see the odd cucumber end of the year, the thing has been as follows.
10. Summer day with 500 (500 days together), Marc Webb ( Tab). Far from being a conventional romantic comedy, the film departs radically from the topics of a boy likes girl and girl-boy passes. One of those films where it is impossible not to empathize with characters either, especially with the one played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Good assembly round pace, good performances and a sequence (reality vs. expectations) to make it realistic comedy of the year.
9. Up, Pete Docter and Bob Peterson ( sheet). We have come to Pixar masterpiece year. If in 2008 we fascinated Wall-E, Up this time we left a sour taste. Perhaps the story is over not finished a script and do not fully understand the meaning of these dogs talkative, but the film has one of the best starts of the year. The move sequence that begins the film and the audacity to include issues such as the neglect of the elderly, death and divorce, not very common in movies aimed at younger children, make the Pixar factory spoiled a good follow .
8. Cell 211, by Daniel Monzón ( sheet). The film confirms the good run of English cinema in the last quarter the year and especially to Daniel Monzón has ceased to be the eternal promise to become an established director. Monsoon runs fast paced thriller with pulse prison played brilliantly by Luis Tosar. Despite the odd hole script, the film written by Jorge Guerricaechevarría and the director himself, is undoubtedly the best English movie of the year, which will surely reflects the gala next Goya. Hopefully the English cinema continue at this level in 2010.
7. Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood ( sheet). The good thing about Clint is in great shape. And is that (with permission of the long-Manoel de Oliveira) with Woody Allen, we still offers a lesson in annual film (this year, two). Gran Torino is the updating of the hero created by filmmaker Don Siegel, Harry Diry. A Eastwood that far from being dirty, directs a film with an address contained and invisible, where he faces possibly his last role before the cameras.
6. Anticrhist (Antichrist), Lars Von Trier ( sheet). To the surprise of the writer, the latest film from enfant terrible of European cinema is an amazing horror film that brings a risky views on the couple, violence and mental illness. Away from the eccentricities of his now defunct film Dogma, the movie is awesome from a visual standpoint and contains a fascinating duel acting from Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Great work for Lars Von Trier that despite becoming a sort of slasher crazy in his last minutes, is able to offer the odd plane indelible to our retinas. Chaos Reign!
5. Doubt (Doubt), John Patrick Shanley ( sheet). If the Antichrist was tandem high-flying, formed by Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman in Doubt is in the stratosphere of interpretation. Based on a theatrical text own director (who also wrote the adaptation), the film tells of the power of certain decisions and above all its consequences. Is it right to defend a truth that you're not sure? Chapeau also by Amy Adams, that this film has managed to stand out from the vase women's roles that was characterized.
4. Inglorious Bastards (Inglourious Basterds), Quentin Tarantino ( sheet). Tarantino signs one of his best films with this unclassifiable film (war?). Violent, excessive and complex Inglourious Basterds goes beyond vandalism and is the confirmation that Tarantino is not willing to please all audiences, but to continue making films you want. Luckily for the director, the public (and critics) is on their side. Comic, shocking, dramatic and irreverent, the film is an impressive cocktail of genres, with an international cast and a script multilingual public delights in the original. It may not be his masterpiece, although time and the rest will tell.
3. Man on Wire, James Marsh ( sheet). Documentary epic narrated as a thriller, tells the adventure of Frenchman Philippe Petit, stunt megalomaniac who planned the assault on the twin towers to cross walking on a steel cable. Moving and exciting in equal parts, the film also interviews, archival footage and recreations of Petit's feat. The interesting thing about the film is not only the use of suspense, but the variety of viewpoints and diversity of opinions before the facts. Fascinating.
2. Moon, Duncan Jones ( Tab). The directorial debut of Duncan Jones won a deserved award for best film at last edition of the Sitges Film Festival. Moon is an elegant piece of science fiction, heavily influenced by films such as Ships mysterious or Solaris. The subtlety and style of Jones is capable of making us see this little film, as an immediate classic science fiction film.
1. Let the Right One in (Let me), Tomas Alfredson ( sheet). The best movie of the year. The Swedish film is a masterpiece that seamlessly combine know horror, comedy, drama and romance. Diametrically opposed to the ridiculous saga Twilight, Let the worries less about vampires and more aesthetic telling a dark tale of childhood love. A film directed and written well, come to see the hand of the writer of the novel, wrote the screenplay. A beautiful tale of terror risky and moving, a cult movie from the time of its release.
