film revu draft + stills gallery: art de profundis

09.IV.1430


De profundis (2006) which is a taciturn tale features great art , a very good classical score and great sound - eg, the sounds of water in the deep. The music by Nani García, is the story teller alongside the image. And so it is very lyrical, and arranged versatiley by the composer - affording an opportunity to appreciate the art of score composition.


































There is a great similarity wrt water inundation between this movie and hayao Myazaki's and Studio Ghibli's 2008 production Gake no ue no Ponyo , despite their different stories. But the similarity extends to some imagery:



The house on the water in de Profundis,


House on water in Ponyo.

UPDATE:
The Spanish/portuguese film won the Goya award in 2007 for best animated picture.
