Movies takes me on an emotional roller-coaster ride…
I am so glad I made it to see Eccentricities of a Blond Hair Girl at the 34th Hong Kong International Film Festival today.
Stayed after to watch the Short Film Competition Programme IV. José Luis Montesinos' The Same Old Story (2009) is definitely worth mentioning as it got me in tears. The whole story evolves around a phone conversation which a bus-rider is engaged in. The script is cleverly and thoughtfully written—the man on the phone brings us through his argument/talk with his ex-wife into an unexpected ending. Go see it if you ever have the chance to!
Another one from the short film competition is Jean-Christophe Lie’s The Man in the Blue Gordini where Mister R and his wife plot a clothing revolution in a 1970s suburb. Great use of colors and angles. It was so fun to watch and it squeezed a laugh or two out of us.
