Disorder, el protector

La respuesta europea a El guardaespaldas de Hollywood, casi como si fuera de Haneke (y Bier a la vez). Minimalista, psicológica, con el protagonista padeciendo una psicosis paranoide y anhelando en vano un abrazo y algo significativo en su vida. Película sensible y cruda a la vez, escalofriantemente emocionante en los pasajes de suspenso, con insinuaciones frágiles en las relaciones. Una gran cosa para el espectador más exigente.

This unreasonable attempt to combine a psychological drama about a disturbed soldier and a thriller about protecting the family of a dubious Lebanese businessman was supposed to be scathing and dramatic, but turned out as a naughty hybrid of Paranormal Activity, Inspector Rex (on antidepressants) and a thriller with Ondřej Vetchý. In the end, its final name, Disorder, is an apt title - but it seems that the crew itself suffered from (perception) disorders in addition to the protagonist and the crew. [Cannes 2015] (18.05.2015)

A mix of The Bodyguard (focusing on the protagonist and his fragile relationship with his employer) and Drive (the aesthetics, the minimalism, the music). It's a pity it's so austere and short for what it's about. The emotional level is strong and the running time is too short to fully get under the skin of the main characters. The more action-packed passages are surprisingly chilling and suspenseful. It fits right in with the contemporary European trend of more ambitious filmmaking. (04.12.2016)
