Domino Brian De Palma카테고리 없음 2020. 1. 23. 06:44
Brian De Palma’s “Domino” was a troubled production story for the ages: underfunded, shot by the seat of its pants, and cut to ribbons without the director’s approval or supervision. But that’s the least of the issues with the final product. Brian De Palma is the son of a surgeon. He studied physics but at the same time felt his dedication for the movies and made some short films. After seven independent productions he had his first success with Sisters (1972) and his voyeuristic style. The key problem with “Domino” is that the screenplay by Petter Skavlan never quite clicks together. Granted, one does not normally go to a Brian De Palma film for the airtight narratives, but this one, either by nature or by the result of unfortunate last-minute edits, just doesn’t work.
Brian De Palma did not have fun making Domino, and there was some question if the film would ever see the light of day. The filmmaker even gave an interview in which he effectively washed his hands of the movie. But now, Domino is being released, and there’s a trailer to prove it. The thriller stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as a cop trying to track down the ISIS member who killed his partner. Coster-Waldau’s fellow Game of Thrones cast member Carice van Houten also stars in the film, along with Guy Pearce. Watch the Domino trailer below.Domino Trailer. Brian De Palma hasn’t made a truly great film in a while, but I remain a fan.
His earlier work still holds up, and his influence on filmmaking style resonates to this day. All that said, I’m not sure how to feel about Domino. This trailer is plenty tense, and even has a few De Palma tricks up its sleeve – there’s a split diopter shot less than a minute in. But the behind-the-scenes turmoil surrounding the movie gives me pause.Last year, De Palma gave an where he stated: “I never experienced such a horrible movie set.” Yikes. According to the filmmaker, financing was an issue.
Domino Brian De Palma Filmography
“A large part of our team has not even been paid yet by the Danish producers. The film is finished and ready to go out, but I have no idea what its future will hold, it is currently in the hands of the producers. This was my first experience in Denmark and most likely my last.”Word had it that Domino was originally 148 minutes long.

But the version being released clocks in at 89 minutes. Did De Palma sign off on this, or did the producers edit the film down themselves? The filmmaker’s name is still all over the promotional material, which indicates he has some say in what’s going on here. But the specter of a problematic production lingers.Domino is described as “a thriller about a police officer (Coster-Waldau) who gets caught up in a cat and mouse chase with a duplicitous CIA agent (Guy Pearce) as the two take on ISIS.” That may sound overtly political, but according to De Palma, the politics didn’t interest him much. “It is the revenge story,” he said. “The whole political aspect will be very little exploited, the film was more for me a new opportunity to explore a visual narrative.
In the film, terrorists are obsessed with the idea that their actions are instantly visible live on the Internet or on TV.”I’ll definitely be checking Domino out when I can, just because of De Palma’s involvement. Hopefully, things turned out for the better. Domino opens in select theaters and On Demand May 31, 2019.
The plot thickens when Christian discovers the man Tarzai killed was a member of a terrorist cell with explosives in his apartment, but before Christian can do anything about it, Tarzai escapes, slashes Lars’s throat, and flees into the night, only to get abducted by mysterious American agents.These agents, led by Joe Martin (Guy Pearce, using a Southern accent that sounds like an insult), want to use Tarzai — an ex-soldier on a personal revenge mission against ISIS — for their own purposes. But Christian and his new partner, Alex (Carice Van Houten, “Black Book”) want to apprehend Tarzai for the whole “killing Lars” thing.
