8º – Faces (John Cassavetes, 1968)
Fragmented into two stories about the same couple’s components, the film brings a few hours of the lives of these individuals, showing how exacerbated they govern their daily life after a crisis. ‘Faces’ features the traditional documentary style of John Cassavetes, being rustic in the aesthetic conception of his scenes, longer planes and many dialogues. A film that knows how to explore the intricacies of a relationship, gaining its dynamicity when entering a compendium little studied.
7º – Crazy, Stupid, Love (Glenn Ficarra, 2011)
A middle-aged man has to relearn to live after his wife asks him to divorce. Take on your onslaughts, ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ ends up being despised for coming with all that great range of comedies with superficial and insipid dress. However, the work is much more than its synopsis and its poster deliver, formalizing itself with an intelligent script, the construction of a humor that appears involuntarily and a cast of respect with great performances.
6º – Moonlight (Barry Jenkins, 2016)
Several fragments of the life of a boy are explored by the plot, bringing the ins and outs of his exacerbated relationship with the world around him. ‘Moonlight’ manages to give an assertive look to a layer neglected by the cinema: homoaffective relationships among blacks. Unquestionable masterpiece of cinema that remains in the head of the viewer even long after its end.
5º – Blue Valentine (Derek Cianfrance, 2010)
We will explore several stages of a troubled relationship between two people, understanding more about a rustic compendium of love. ‘Blue Valentine’ is a different romance film, proposing a faithful look at what really understands every instance of a relationship.
