English title: Buried
Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds), lorry-driver and father, wakes up buried alive in an old coffin wood. Without knowing who may have put him there and why, has only spent half a mobile phone to try to escape his agonizing nightmare. Poor coverage, battery and oxygen shortages are the worst obstacles in a life or death race against time: Paul only has 90 minutes to achieve the rescue.
The film is not for everyone, and there are films that is better than the public does not see, either because they are too complex or too simple for them to understand, this is the case Buried , acclaimed in all the festivals that were occurring, but at the same time to reach commercial public simply did not win, which makes it the least understood of film so far this year.
The English Rodrigo Cortés presents his second feature film, a minimalist film that shows the power of good management, good performance and made a very good script (written by Chris Sparling ) where the tension and suspense is no wait and let the hand of his only starring: Ryan Reynolds .
A small coffin, big surprises.
I never imagined that a movie with one actor and one location so it would Buried achieved as much of that success is in its story, beautifully written and planned to make every minute worthwhile , its writer Chris Sparling completely eliminates all distractions to give us a story that will keep you captive and at the edge of the seat for long . At first glance it might be a fairly simple premise: a Caramba buried alive in a coffin in which one has available a mobile phone and a lighter must find a way out of there before 90 minutes and before their limited oxygen vanish. But the great thing about all this is how Chris manages to weave this little plot with moments from anguished phone calls and difficult situations that Paul, the character of history, must overcome, this is where the writer combines the desperation of her character relaes situations like the conflict in the Middle East, or simply the inability of the United States and as easily as easily detach themselves from any problems from the war, something that is well reflected in the film and keeps us a long time, such which like the character, the expectation of what might happen out there.
The script is very well prepared and has enough doses of suspense and intrigue to keep us glued to the screen, but not perfect, because despite having holes in the plot that are easy to spot, the story occasionally becomes repetitive and tedious, it shows too much extra time, so that the tape had been just deleting a couple of great scenes. But in spite of all their strengths and weaknesses this does not mean that Buried is one of the scripts more solid this year .
's monologue
Ryan Reynolds I always trusted Ryan Reynolds. After seeing action in The Nines where he played three different characters in one film I felt that he could do something great here, but not as big as the end result. He is the film , the ultimate protagonists to whom the full weight of the film rests on his shoulders. His performance is memorable, known to the public in every way all the time transmitting anguish, despair and the feeling of having lost everything. It is impossible not to empathize with his character, is that Reynolds does accompany him during the 95 minute movie in which we feel as trapped as he. His great work in this film is one of the reasons to see this film excels in practically every scene. Buried With is found that Reynolds should quickly move away from commercial cinema .
The magic camera
Honestly the idea of \u200b\u200ba movie shot entirely in a wooden box is not at all attractive because it is to praise the work of English director Rodrigo Cortés who succeeds in such a small space the best scenes you thought was impossible, although various types of caskets used for the Buried filming never noticed this as the work of the director is amazing and cinematically perfect. With its camera movements and scenes so stressful that one thought possible Cortés can show that not all effects and explosions and that the most simple can be really scary .
The composition of the scenes are wonderful and you'd think that in such a small space the opportunity to do something big were few, but Cortes with his director of photography created Eduard Grau really wonderful scenes with the few resources that have the movie, is how varied and we see footage from all angles and especially a great advantage of the use of light and space, so the sense of claustrophobia and confinement are always present, is impossible not to be in the movie and not feel that breathlessness and despair that are spread through the whole film.
unvalued jewel
Buried for me has been one of the best experiences I've had cinéphiles in my life, is a film nothing against the current, and is that in a world awash with technological innovations and much 3D director Rodrigo Cortés achieved a unique experience embodied in each takes in every scene and every minute of footage. Not a perfect film, and that due to limitations Buried feels too long but that's a small negative things about the film, as in the genus Buried is a gem not valued, may take several years for people will appreciate the tape as it is not suitable for all and more if a public accustomed to the trappings of Hollywood.
Rating: 8.0/10
