Min anoigeis tin porta (2024)
Interesting take on purgatory theme
Positives: The movie offers an interesting, quite different and fresh take on the purgatory theme.
Negatives: The movie was quite slow and had scenes that felt repeated.
My interpretation of the film:
The two protagonists are in purgatory. The man probably died the night where the heat stopped working, while the woman probably committed suicide (by stabbing herself in the stomach?). Thus explaining why the friend they were expecting never arrives.
In purgatory they are haunted by their thoughts, regrets and guilt. In order to get out, they need to cleanse their souls.
This duo works because their stories have the same pattern: bad father vs innocent child. And they need each other to find peace.
The man was tormented by guilt for letting his child die. By being killed (by a former innocent abused child) he is freed, because he gets the punishment he feels he deserves.
On the other hand, the woman is tormented by guilt for letting her father die. She is freed when she kills again (another father), having come to terms with the fact that she did the right thing in the first place, and she would do it again.
Infinity Pool (2023)
Absolutely meaningless
I don't usually write reviews, but this movie was so bad it enraged me and I had to leave a comment. It is absolutely meaningless. It has scenes that their sole purpose is to bore us to death or cause epileptic seizures. I assume the director wanted the movie to be provocative/disturbing but it is not, it is just silly. These types of "provocative scenes" are very much used in cinema. In addition, the movie has nothing deep to tell, if nothing to tell. Rich entitled people want to have fun and abuse people? No, rich people make movies like these and abuse us. I lost precious time of my life watching this and I hate you.
