10 things I hate about you - a remake of the 'Taming of the Shrew' by Shakespeare

A blast from the past? Absolutely not!
Some movies do not age and magically wake up the teenager we were one day.
We all have a cherished beloved and naive cheesy movie hiding in the back of our mind...
Here is mine, 10 things I hate about you by Gil Junger
The love story of a shrew, that is, if you look up in your dictionary: 'an aggressively assertive woman' and a supposedly bad boy with long curly hair that turns out to be romantic...
        Dear Cinema "You're just too good to be true, Can't take my eyes off you"...


                
        
  

 ...The two scenes that will speak to your old teenager's heart...come on sing along the credits' song by Cheap Trick : 'I want you to want me, I need you to need me, I love you to love me, I beg you to beg meeee'

Dare watching my visual poem about Alienation...

This movie is a visual poem about Alienation. It does not have a linear narrative but works as a metaphor. It aims at creating discomfort to leave a mark in the viewer’s mind...I hope you will wonder about the sort of alienation in our society this could possibly evoke.




                                                  Please share your reactions!
                             What did you feel and what did you think it was all about???

                                                                  Miss Circa


                                         P.S: special thank you to Gurudath for his support

Let's Tango!

Ladies and Gentlemen, here is the official internet’s premiere of my documentary, make yourself comfortable, fasten your seatbelt and ...who knows where your imagination might take you to!
Enjoy the journey!





 Could Tango spice up your routine?

My aim was to introduce Tango and refute its old-fashioned prejudice. The choice of the subjects follows that idea, a half fictional, half real subject and two glamorous Tango partners. As they say, it is hard to draw the line between dream and reality…when your eyes are closed and while you are in the embrace it could be anyone, it could be anywhere...  Here lies my whole concept of mixing modes and using fictional elements.  
You might wonder: how is that documenting the real?
my answer: what is more real than an emotion ?

               If you felt like dancing Tango while watching then I fulfilled my objectives

127 hours' morality: if you have to cut your arm off, hope that your knife was not made in China??!!!

After Slumdog millionaire, Danny Boyle comes back with a singular movie: 127 Hours.
Based on the true story of a man who whilst canyoneering, fell down and got his hand stuck under a boulder leaving him with no alternative but to cut his arm off.


The talented filmmaker impressed us once again but this time for his visual narrative: think about it, how to make a movie out of one single action, in one single location revolving around one single actor!

He played with flashbacks, imagination and reflexion to make the victim a hero.
Not a Batman kind nor a superman type ..but a human hero having to use an underestimated super power: mental strength!

No wonder why the movie starts with the lyrics of a song pondering what differentiates us from animals...the answer: our mind.

Unfortunately, the movie remains hard to watch, the audience will be standing next to Aron (James Franco), powerless. They must be prepared to face up mental torture for 94 minutes.

A prowess in terms of filmmaking...more than a movie...an experience!

Good luck viewers!
