“Un beau soleil intérieur” by Claire Denis

Versione inglese a cura del Master in Traduzione per il Cinema, la Televisione e l’Editoria Multimediale

Article by: Giorgia Bertino

Translation by: Emanuela Ismail

Un beau soleil intérieur is about a crisis. It is a story of a middle-aged woman named Isabelle (performed by the excellent Juliette Binoche), who seeks love and is caught between disillusion and despair. She has had many lovers after divorcing her daughter’s father, Francois, but all the stories have sadly sunk. There is, among these lovers, one who has scarred her the most, dragging her in an unhealthy, secret relationship, made of run-ups, broken promises, specious excuses. There is also an handsome actor who had promised her a faulty but passionate love, or again, the man willing to commit to true love, but an incomplete love, as he wouldn’t want her to be completely involved in his life. Lastly, there is the love that cannot help coming back: Francois. Even if it has become a useless, outdated, lost love. Continua la lettura di “Un beau soleil intérieur” by Claire Denis

” The Scope of Separation” by Yue Chen

Versione inglese a cura del Master in Traduzione per il Cinema, la Televisione e l’Editoria Multimediale

Article by: Gianmarco Perrone

Translation by: Valeria Tutino

Boredom, alcohol and cigarettes fill the days of Liu Shidong, the apathetic main character of The Scope of Separation, the first work of the young Chinese director Yue Chen. Liu – as he narrates in voice over – has inherited a large amount of money from his deceased father: this allows him not to work and devote himself to his (presumed) interest. The story hardly proceeds with his encounter with two young women, very different from each other, and with the attempt to work in business: a meaningless plot, like Liu’s life, that leaves room to contemplation and to long and empty dialogues. The choice of the script is undoubtedly well considered, but it undermines the viewer’s involvement. However it fits perfectly to the content of the movie.
