Short films — a special form of cinematography that allows budding filmmakers to Express yourself (as if you can't handle a 15-minute story about directing is better to forget), and with those is a separate genre that very briefly outlines the author intended and demonstrates the postulate of that film, main idea and value motive is a bad movie. Sometimes short meter gets full, when you have a really good idea that can be developed up to the scale of a feature film, not don't lose it but and make full-color sketch oil painting.
"Turning points" are an ambitious undertaking, in which the screen is transferred stories from the eponymous collection of Australian writer Tim Winton. Winton is the heritage of modern Australian literature, it is the winner of major literary awards have myself home with enviable regularity gets in the short list of foreign awards. In addition to the writer's craft, the Aussie is also a prominent figure in campaigns for environmental protection. In other words, he was clearly deserves to be the stories have become movies.
A major drawback of the film it also opens — is a kind of animated introduction, conceived in the as a unifying introduction. It done just horribly ugly and overly careless, and does not meet the General more or less flat style of the short films included in the "Turning points" that seem to beckon the viewer to the acquaintance with a literary source.
"Big World" — not very successful graduates decided to take destiny in their own hands and go literally anywhere. The story from the first person, without a single dialog will show as of things born of friendship and how fleeting that it seems to last forever.
"Abbreviation" — strong their metaphors work in the vulgarity and do without any frankness described first erotic experience. Rich in metaphors the film, which has no words but there is a very strong metaphor.
"Aquifer" — music teacher in viewing crime news remembers some of their past, it brings it to the realization that standards of good and evil time subject to fundamental changes.
"Damaged Goods" — story not incarnate love is one of the most powerful parts of the "Turning points". The screen is divided into two halves, one of which shows the past and other — present. Photos used in the movie is worthy of exhibition, and the film is a full meter, here Tim Winston is getting very close to the inaccessible region, where did Salinger.
"Small Mercies," — the man together with the son returning in the parental home after the death of his wife, finds not only pleasant memories. Issues of retribution rise not explicitly non-categorical, but in the same time forced to think about that some things never can be fixed.
"On Her guide" — taking his arrogant son in the ushers, the house. the worker, in passing, and rather, his example, rather than deliberately showing him what honest work righteous deception techniques.
"Cockleshell" — happy teenager, falls in love with living door girl from a dysfunctional family, and not even everything is the misfortune of her position. This spoils the film a very unpleasant scene of Masturbation, without which could be necessary.
"The Turning" — Central novel that gave the name to the cycle tells the story of a two women (rose Byrne and Miranda Otto), who became friends, despite the completely opposite ways of life and thoughts. Here you will see the reasoning for the theme of coming to God, coupled with very tough scenes of violence. And will also be able to enjoy the game pretty Myles Pollard.
"Sand" — in some ways, the story is consonant with "Aquifer", talks about of child's innocence and its possible implications. Visually, everything is made very poorly: a random set of scenes for the monotonous music, no clearly the Director's ideas. In other words, the display embodiment completely corresponds to how incompetent pretentious Directors see the cinema.
"Family" — looks like a music video short film aimed to show that causing wild excitement sports on not really represent essentially important things, and the only worthwhile victory — are their own fear.
"Long, Clear View" — the second of the stories are worthy of full-meter under the music of Dmitri Shostakovich shows a whimsical look at the life of a red-haired boy who seems to see the infinity of the world and all things in their true light (which proves a rather cynical ending), and God it seems a presenter who tells the news on the background of the starry sky.
"Reunion" — the main star of the film cate Blanchett in pair with Richard Roxburgh playing spouses who seem to have forgotten that this Christmas in the family circle. Here the Director of striker comedic style proves that the family more than standards and traditions.
"Commission" — the brilliant Hugo weaving in the role of a repentant sinner living in extreme poverty. In his shack one day the son comes, who is our hero have seen many years between them will be very Frank conversation, allowing each side to understand a lot. This short film could be converted into the feature-length Gordon-green as the story is definitely in his style — the seemingly simple, but it is internally complex. And in the "Turning points" it put a David Wenem, known to viewers of the role of Faramir in"the Lord of the rings."
"Fog" — story of a kind of police lawlessness in which are the values of the original data, but only the consequences and the realization of what happened by the participants. At this story has the potential for becoming full-length detective.
"Boner McPharlin''s Moll" — much like a lifetime and part of the content story. The story of the strange old man you might find something worthwhile, but perhaps no. It exception loop that would a great loss.
"Immunity" — beautiful shots and beautiful music are used to the theme of love and loneliness. Without words direct appeals to the audience, a Director makes a film designed for all for each separately. Nearly exemplary work in the genre of indie, which would become a theatre production in a trendy art gallery.
"Defender" — if the end was supposed to sound strong chord, it with this short film do not to achieve. The complicated relationships of spouses and their relatives not that look quite disastrous, but and is clearly not advantageous, but corresponds to the idea of the presence of turning points.
The main reception, which is worked by the Directors of short films to Shine — is the ability to dramatically change the direction of the story and show all not as it seemed on first glance. In a slightly different view of this can be expressed in the use of allegorical, without a time to 20 minutes does not necessary. And how well these two forms of artistic expression used in or otherwise, depends on whether short movie to win the heart of the viewer.
