Vortex - Avaliações

...deliberate, pitiless and perfectly acted in a loose, improvisational style.

...it’s a relentlessly powerful piece of film-making.

This is a work of wintry maturity, and real compassion.

...retains a particular kind of cold horror that burrows deep and takes hold.

Argento is terrifyingly convincing in both his line readings and his physical acting; the role makes demands on his body that he fully meets.

...if you’ve ever had even the smallest existential fear of growing older and dying, or watching this happen to people you love, tread carefully around this one.

...the superb Vortex brings to mind an observation attributed to actress Bette Davis, no less: Getting old ain’t for sissies. C’est vrai, c’est vrai.

The film takes an unflinching look at a couple, played by Francoise Lebrun and legendary Italian director Dario Argento, as they near the end of life.

...exciting and thrilling.

The filmmaker uses two icons of cinema and a clever central gimmick to deliver an affecting look at mortality.

...en helt ny Noé som här skapat en bit ur den mardrömsartade verklighet som många par genomlever när den ena försvinner in i demens.

...har egentligen bara en enda harmonisk stund, sedan rör sig kameran med en lätt olycksbådande känsla. Avgrunden är alltid nära med Noé.

...en uppenbarelse som visar att han långt ifrån tappat förmågan till experimentellt filmskapande.

Den största chocken med provokatören Gaspar Noés nya film ”Vortex” är att den ömt, grymt och utan effektsökeri skildrar livets slutskede.
