  • The Five Devils

    The Five Devils 2022

    Brendan Bell

    ★★★½ Watched by Brendan Bell 28 May 2023

    Emotionally engaging and shot beautifully on 35mm film, The Five Devils is a somewhat genre-less story about time, love and the cyclical connection between the past and future. Its vibe is somewhere between Céline Sciamma and David Lynch. 

    I enjoyed that the film’s magical realism is natural and elemental — involving fire, water, earth, air and the sense of smell — and requires little context or explanation. But there’s so much going on below the surface throughout that it felt a little incomplete by the end. An interesting film regardless

    I’m at a loss with this one. It certainly is very bold in its concept, but it doesn’t cohere as well as much as it thinks it does. The magical elements, which seemed ripped straight from Celine & Julie Go Boating, were creative enough, and I thought the inclusion of the little girl in Julia’s memories and fears were certainly very creative. But the main character was played so flatly. I wanna go easy on Ms. Dramé because I know she…

    A pretty neat film! Took a while for me to find my footing with it/ended stronger than it started, but perhaps on a rewatch I'd gel more from the beginning. The lighting and colour are crazy at times in this, some of the blues and reds just hit sensory triggers for me. The first film of Adèle Exarchopoulos's I've seen, not breaking any news here but very talented, she was fantastic. Some really great scenes and enough to make me interested to come back to it after some time thinking on it, interested to see Léa Mysius's other work!

    I want to know so much more about Julia. I wanted to know so much more about all of the characters honestly. 

    Love the idea of smell as a possibility for time travel. I feel like the extreme sensitivity to smell didn’t end up going anywhere?? But I like to wonder where it could have?

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Ok pero Adèle Exarchopoulos 😳😳😳

    Que interesante película! Me pareció muy creativa y original la propuesta de "viajes en el tiempo" y la forma en la que poco a poco dos historias (una en el presente y otra en el pasado) se desarrollaban a la par. Aunque me costó un poco agarrarle el ritmo, en ningún momento me aburrió ni me desinteresó, al contrario, me sentía como viendo una telenovela, cuanto drama! 🫣🫣

    La red de personajes me gustó bastante,…

    Tá entre uma abordagem conceitual interessante e um filme padrão de festival europeu. Gosto como os elementos fantásticos entram na história, não é nada absurdo ou surreal, mas não chega a ser um filme que quer só utilizar desses elementos pra ilustrar uma ideia. Mas definitivamente o foco do filme é o drama e, mais especificamente, como se revela aos poucos, um romance.

    Nesse sentido, a habilidade da filha aparece menos como algo que realmente pode ter implicações futuras e…

    No se si vaya a ver una 2da parte de esta producción pero espero que si. sinceramente me ha gustado todo este misticismo de la niña y los poderes que tiene. Siento que falto algo,, pero eso lo descubrire cuando la vuelva a ver.

    Very interesting concept for a film, glad I gave it a try and the actress who plays Vicky (hopefully) has a fulfilling acting career ahead of her.

    ★★★½ Watched by HansyCecilia 15 May 2023

    While more magical realism rather than the witchy supernatural I was expecting, it was still a mysterious lil narrative and it was interesting watching a film about an adult relationship through the eyes of a child... even if said child verged on the edge of being homophobic </3

    a unique creation that most of the time works and is enjoyable to watch, but doesn't quite do enough to make it all that impactful or memorable.

    A wonderful yet slow movie. I like how not that much happens within the story, but the relationships do change. Very beautiful to see how much love one has for another and how much love and skills one has for their crafts. The sewing shots were very satisfying and mesmerizing for me, haha.
