May (2002)

A little masterpiece

[10/10 · 16 July 2012]

What a masterpiece! It would be completely unfair from me to evaluate this movie with less than five stars. It is a real pity that the film is so little known. Hard to find any faults in here. Since the pivotal acting of Angela Bettis (which was awarded, but in my opinion it deserved at least to be nominated by the Academy), the movie really cares about every detail, from the soundtrack to the screenplay, which has no plot holes in no time . Jeremy Sisto and Anna Faris are also perfect, though in lesser roles, but crucial to the plot development. "May" will from the laughter of a typical romantic comedy to drama and horror, but in any time loses its tone and its logic. Thanks director Lucky McKee, who still gives us a beautiful scene that still tear the thin and fragile fabric of reason in the world of May. It's been a long time I have watched a movie like this.

The Rotten Fruit (2003 Video)

Lots of fun!

One of the best animations I've ever seen. It is a further demonstration of the great talent of the filmmaker Eli Roth. With a minimal budget and a super creative script, the animation reaches the top, not only graphically but also in its development. The three episodes ("Battle of the Bands", "Snackster" and "Room Service") are quite different, but it is impossible to control the laughter. Definitely not suitable for children, the animation is full of violence, sadism, swearing and even sex kk, but believe me, the dialogs are priceless and it is impossible not to sympathize with the band members. LOL

I recommend this title.
