Re: The Florida Project
I am so mad at how limited this release is. It apararantly came out this week, but I still can't find any screenings near me or any information on when I will be able to. I hate watching movies online because it's bad and I rarely do it, but if it won't open near me, I won't have a chance to support it.
Anyway, when I first saw the trailer I thought it looked charming and dramatic, just how I like a lot of my movies. Can't wait to see. |
I just randomly stumbled across this, I hadn't heard anything about. It definitely peaked my interest being a never out of the yard or down the street kid. Seeing these 5-7 year olds(?) wander around is like everything I ever dreamed of with my face pressed into a chain link fence. Throw on top that apparently there is a fantasy aspect (I may have read that wrong) and it sounds like a gem.

A very interesting prospect. I await it.
BTW, the "Twistee Treat" thing is real.. There's one of those near my local grocery store. |

Re: The Florida Project
Watched this again yesterday. I love how this film perfectly captures the perspective of the children, with some really affecting emotional moments, as well. This film has an excellent chance of making my best of the decade list, when ever we end up doing that countdown...

Re: The Florida Project
I should revisit this film soon as it's one of my favorites of the decade as well. It effortlessly captures the joy and enthusiasm of being a child, all the while never shying away from showing what the world around them is actually like. Also, in spite of the backlash the ending received, I think it works great.

Re: The Florida Project
One of my favourites of the decade too. Great neo realism from non actors and that lovely pink colour pallette. Great film.

The worst example was the discussion between Ashley and Hayley when Hayley attempts to apologize, only to end up kicking Ashley's ass instead. Some of the lines didn't come off as well as they could have.

Drugs are mentioned and shown at least once, and Haley is shown smoking weed a couple of times at various points in the film. At one point, before DCF comes to the hotel, Haley is shown giving her weed away to an employee of the hotel so it won't be found in her room.
Beyond that, I think too much more of this would have rotated the viewpoint too far away from the kids, which is sort of the narrative anchor of the film. It also would have detracted from the unique approach of the film, as the examination of the damage drugs do to society has been done to death at this point. |
Great film and is in a dire need of a rewatch...tonight, perhaps?

It's like the inverse, nightmare version of Florida Project, but Pixote. I have a feeling there are other movies somewhat similar in tone and subject matter to Bakers film (though probably not as good). I'd have to think on it. |

Looks tough to track down, but I will keep my eyes open for it...

I found a copy years ago, which was difficult to find, but I think it's since been released by Criterion. |
