Often they talk about our greatest actors that they can convincingly pronounce the phone book.
There is no doubt, just to continue this thought for a moment that Daniel Day-Luis-one of our greatest living actors “Perhaps the best of them.” And so the first and most important thing to say about “Anemone” Mes, gloomy, absorbing, but also sometimes disappointing opaque cooperation with his director son Ronan, is that he returned to Dean Lewis. He told us eight years ago that he had finished with acting, and we hoped that he was exaggerating. At least for now it seems that he was.
As for the phone book: well, there is a moment when you may wish, this is really the content that you heard. In one of the two remarkable monologues that emphasize the film, otherwise with a spare words, De-Luis, playing a bitter and lonely hermit, allows you to lose an anecdote, so shocking, a skatological and epic disgusting scene, by the way, co-authorship, here, here). Somehow, he makes him more exciting than disgusting, but this is the Hercules task, something that de-Luis, to which, obviously, not get used to.
The name of the film refers to the color, which we briefly see, growing in lush forests, where we find the character of Da-Luis Ray, identifying the most forked existence. The authors of the son’s father were in no hurry, explaining why Ray went into this solitary life, but we get a key hint in the first frames of the film-ruscan of violent children, with figures of a stick carrying long weapons and torn limbs.
Soon we learn that both Ray and Brother Jam (Sean Bin) were British soldiers, veterans of the first days in Northern Ireland. They are also victims of cruel childhood in the houses of care.
But they have not seen each other for two decades, their connection was exploded into parts of an incompetent injury that led them to comfort – or release – in different places. Jam found this in strict religious practice and home life with Nessa, former partner of Ray and Brian, their son.
These are the deepening problems of teenager Brian, who prompted Jema to look for his brother in a magnificent but prohibiting forest where Ray leads an ascetic life dedicated to the most basic human survival. Ronan Day-Lyuis, an artist who makes his directorial debut, is engaged in a director, together with the filmmaker Ben Feadsman, a sense of unpredictability of nature, the culmination of which is a dramatic city.
But what unnatural injury led the brothers to their separation? Most of the film is required to find out. We know that Jam brought with him a letter from Nessa (Samantha Morton), which Ray does not read at first. But the brothers are slowly connecting, in worldly events, such as teeth brushing, swimming in the ocean or dancing wildly together.
Words arise when Ray talks about how he avenged the priest who repeatedly molested him in childhood. This strong monologue, in which he describes that in the film “Intervaces for a Man”, is only the predecessor of an extraordinary speech, later in the film, which will become a vintage de-Luis, a burning story about a change in the moment that he killed a little boy. “I do not need your remission,” he purchases his brother when the latter tries to reject him from guilt and shame, which harm him for 20 years.
But it is clear that Ray really needs any remission, and his recognition of his brother is the first step.
Will Ray find a way to come from the cold and reunite with his son? Artistic parallels are too careful to ignore the son, bringing the actor de-Luis, in favor of all of us all.
Will he stay? Let's hope that even if Day-Lyuis takes us again that he finished, he will exaggerate again.
