I decided to unsubscribe on the film search, as the annotation for the film, in my opinion, is clearly not complete.
"Atlantis" is a contemplative movie. It’s not that intrigue — not even history really. The camera slowly captures the flow of ordinary, everyday life.
And something is brilliant. I can't remember a movie that shows adolescence like that. The camera focuses on the strap of the shirt and this somehow amazingly conveys the angularity inherent in adolescence. The camera captures the chatter of girlfriends, and the viewer remembers how at this age he was important every such little thing: did the older sister kiss that guy? But this sharp jerking in conversation with friends - is it not a sign of a bad attitude towards you or should not pay attention?
I didn’t watch the movie until I left halfway. So, what is the turn that changed the attitude of the sisters to each other and to life, promised in the abstract, I do not know. But, in the film, it feels that towards the end, something like this should happen there, as in Winterbottom’s Genoa.
Not that the movie is bad. The female director improbably conveyed that life experience, which in principle is not available to men, who are still the vast majority of directors today. However, it seems that she does not know what to do with this artistic technique. If I could add a story, maybe it would be a masterpiece. Although, of course, such a slow movie will find its audience.
