The Birthday (I) (2004)
9/10
The best of the eighties
9 September 2008
Warning: Spoilers
If you love David Lynch's Blue Velvet, DePalma's Body Double, Dante's Blurbs and all the Spielberg (or Amblin) stuff, this is you movie. This is a movie who takes on Norman, a boy on an incredible situation. This movie is well directed, beautifully photographied and it has something captivating inside: it's a journey that has the best of Lynch, DePalma, Spielberg and even the fantastique of Argento. There are a lot of long shots that define the aesthetic of this movie. If you're a lover of the Hudsuckey Proxy, this is a nervous comedy with an extraordinary story that it must be remembered as the Spanish Barton Fink. It's something unpredictable, with a Woody-Allen-like Corey Feldman and all it feels like Shaun Of The Dead.
