    Flashes of life

    Actually i felt a bit bored, that i discoverd i'd love to watch a film based on a novel or long senario more than short stories. But I liked the idea of giving just a brief, or capturing a situation, hard one, from someone's life that shows the suffering, struggles and hardness of the human beings lifes. It's okay.

    For Arthouse and Natalie Portman fans only.

    I don't really like the movie but it is Art House. I don't get them all but it's well made.. Natalie's Acting coulda been better on this one, but she's made at least 3 movies of short stories now. Outside of New Your and Paris. But wow. This claims to be a Comedy. Sorry nothing funny about this ultra depressing film. No endings to any of them really. Last one had the closest to an ending but what happened to Kelsey Ford and seems like her last movie too. Shoulda been warned this wasn't a comedy. Listed here and BD dot com. It's not a comedy hands down. The only blu ray that works in the USA is the Italian one.. Plays on my 4K player from Sony. Unlikely I'll watch it again.. Like the Pillow Book . I'll just keep it because of Natalie and the fact I got it (pricey) from Italy Amazon. It's not a spoiler to say this isn't a comedy....

    Quality: 8/10 Entertainment: 5/10 Re-Playable: 1/10.

    I'm not a film student. Maybe that's why this is a waste of time.

    Generally, I enjoy movies of this type. It seems there is usually something revelatory, insperational, heartbreaking or satisfying. This has NONE OF THAT. I feel like I just sat next to a drunk that rambles incessantly. The stories may, MAY have a somewhat interesting premise, but they go nowhere. I don't even believe the people in the stories think that they are worth telling. After the second vignette, I quit looking for substance in the storytelling and started looking for camera angles, lighting, lens choices or anything. As I am not a film student apart from the roughly 5000 movies I've seen,I kicked rocks.

    Underused stars

    This film is a number of shorts that examines different aspects of the characters' lives.

    I guess I never really cared for a film consisting of unconnected short stories. There are some shorts that are good, namely the first two. The first short has a plot that is bound to connect with the viewers. The third and fourth shorts don't really connect with me, and the remainder are just rather plain. There are loads of stars, but they seem underused. After watching the film, I don't think I really got anything out of it.
