The rustle of the crows in the first feature film of Dylan Soutering, a strict story of a middle -aged man who reconciles with sudden and unexpected death of his wife, or his two sons. In terms of type, it is difficult to put it somewhere between social drama and increased horror; If Ken Loth dreams BabadoukIt might seem like this. South – previously known as such exciting and experimental musical documents and you are there like Shut up and play visits (2012) and Meet me in the bathroom (2022) – The immediate deep character of these films gives a very raw and emotional topic. Despite all the art behind it, The thing with feathers It is likely to be divided; For the shock survivors, it is likely to be cure, but for others the most fortunate, perfect loss may be very uncomfortable.
This is one of the films in which the characters do not carry names, so the father is simply the father. The role of Pordek Comprosch plays a kind of some kind. Some people call his works “comic books”, while others call them “comic novels”, a term believed to be “strange”. Its production has been indicated in the series of the air credits of the film, as it attacks a pencil of turbulent and coarse white paper, which intensifies the phobia of closed places through the use of the intimate director of the academy. The pictures of black feathers with black feathers are accompanied by random and gloomy words (“Abi Hazin”, “I have gone”), so it is not surprising that the screen turns black and the sound design is filming an invisible funeral economically.
My father told his two young children: “I thought you did a really good job today,” stressing the skill of the truth that we prefer not to know already. Even if he does not say that, cinematography and production design are at the top of matters; This is a house that lacks something. A happy family's home like a virer plate should not be illuminated, and my father's brother is making a more modern illusion when he passes it. “It is somewhat similar to the Treisie Amin's kitchen here,” referring to the controversial British artist's piece in 1998 clinical.
The father tries to preserve things together, send his children to school, feed them and read them at night (although the folkloric story of Papa Yaja may not be the most suitable material for destroyed adolescents). But the last events remain in it, and although we hear it and never see them, its effect is shocking as if we had told us before. There was blood, and it was on the ground, and she was not breathing.
Almost this time, the film's discount is announced. Crow, expressed by David Thewlis, is one of Abi's artistic creations, but now he comes out of the page to the real world. Cooro is completely dispute with what is happening in the real world: his father's therapist wants to reconcile with matters, but my father is not sure that he wants to do so; Just fill his memories and put them in the store. In contrast, Crowe believes in a more “curative” style, as he mocks the father in his recent moments of insults and violence. “Come on, do the worst of what you have.” “No, I intend to do what I want better“.
With some accidental intervention from the outside world, this brutal debate between Abi and Crou is the essence of the matter to a large extent The thing with feathersSomething Yin and Yang perfectly explains the south in an intensive and veiled scene designed for Screamin 'Jay Hawkins “Feast of the Mau Mau”. Since it is a product of my father's mind, Crowe really knows how to harm him, and mocks his liberal inclinations, and worse than that, describes his artistic works as “poor”, adding that she “looks like Vitiano” (a painful insult worse than the insult that his father received). Amin my pocket).
All of this leads to an impressive study of self -collapse, and my father's mental condition, despite dealing with it accurately, can be identified for anyone even if it is close to such a seismic loss: his lack of desire to see visitors, and his inability to receive phone calls And his feeling of fear. He refused to accept reality (in a painful and beautiful touch, his late wife was either seen or not clear, and it is a devastating evoking for the bereavement). As an artwork, The thing with feathers It is a special thing, a great communication card for an author awaits. However, as a movie, it will not be (and may not) is available to everyone; An article on the annihilation that enacted its beauty and bites the truth.
