Now For the Sils Maria Explanation and Walkthroughīefore I delve on the movie explanation and walkthrough I think it is important that we eject all readers that have not seen the movie yet. If I hadn’t known any better I would have guessed the movie was more a documentary, or at the very least a docudrama about real life as opposed to the completely fictionalized writings of Olivier Assayas.
#I saw black clouds ending series
Fictional movies that sound awfully like the Twilight series are referenced replete with werewolves, et al. Famous people and their very real movies are referenced. So much so that you have to listen to the names use to refer to themselves to determine whether they are still rehearsing or if they have left the script and began speaking honestly finally.įor example, current, real stars are referenced. At many times throughout the movie as Maria and Val rehearse the lines of that play are saying exactly what their ‘real’ counterparts would be saying. Sils Maria has this sort of collapsing kaleidoscope effect to it that sort of is unsettling and yet natural at the same time. Which is a movie about a guy writing a play about a guy writing a play about the girl he wants to marry. Pardon the reduction, but Sils Maria is a movie that is making a play with the sort of quality to it that is similar in form to say, the Moulin Rouge. The audience is bracing itself perpetually to interact with Maria and this new young up and coming starlet, Chloë Grace Moretz (Joe-Ann Ellis), when in fact we’ve been watching the dance all along and it has been between Maria and Valentine. The plot is a bit of a quiet, slow, development of the constant unfolding of an enormous misdirection con. And all the while, her ever present assistant Valentine is there, commenting, prodding, encouraging, directing Maria. She is conflicted as she considers playing the less powerful, less impactful character… at least from her current perspective. And we also see her trying to decide whether she will in reprise her participation in the play at all. So for a lot of the movie we are seeing her discuss her original participation in this experience that made her famous and the impacts that this had on her life.
This time though – 20 years on – Maria has been asked to play the role of the older woman, not the younger woman. The older woman falls in love with the younger woman, the younger woman toys with the older woman, and ultimately (apparently) the older woman commits suicide. The play involved two women, a younger woman and an older woman that basically end up playing a game of cat and mouse emotionally. Maria is asked to redo a play that made her famous at the age of 18… but with a twist. “Clouds of Sils Maria” centers on the struggles of an aging actress named Maria Enders (Binoche) and her personal assistant Valentine (Stewart). We will get to the spoiler bits in a bit – and those will be very very clearly demarcated. At least just enough of a walk through to contextualize where you stand. So let me start over and tell you what this movie actually is, so that you have some semblance of a clue going into it. But instead of at a level of 8 on the “What The HECK is Going On Here” scale, its actually more like a break the dial 27 instead. That sort of a visceral, what is happening, response of seeing Keaton sort of playing himself, but not? Yeah… that is actually what happens in Sils Maria. If you walked into Birdman cold you know what I’m talking about here. ‘What am I watching here’ sort of amazement. What happened next? I was agog for the entirety of its 124 minute running time. Binoche good, Stewart bad… oh alright, we’ll call it even on a slow entertainment night and give it a try. I knew Kristen Stewart was in it and Juliette Binoche. I had no idea what “Clouds of Sils Maria” was going in. But with these flash ʞƆ∀q weekly posts it should help you find more cool quarantine worth-while watches (triple alliteration anyone? Anyone?) Well, today is definitely a brilliant flick that is worth your time: A Complete Clouds of Sils Maria Explanation and Walkthrough There are just so many movies that I’ve recommended here on this site there is literally no way that you could possibly keep up with them all. And to just shut you guys up a bit (I’m totally kidding, calm down Karen.) I figured I would start up a retro-recommendation (alliteration for the win) weekly post to bring back older brilliant films you might have missed. I get asked daily about movies that I would recommend – other mindjobs – other movies worth thinking about.
