Along with Scarlett Johansson and Harris Dickinson, Kristen Stewart was at the 78th Cannes Film Festival to present her first feature film as a director: A Timeline of Water, an adaptation of Lydia Yuknavisz’s memoir (published under the title “Fluid Mechanics”) in which the latter depicts her emancipation from a violent and incestuous family.
As intense and unpredictable as its director, who cast Imogen Poots in the lead role, the feature film is one of those that doesn’t leave its audience indifferent, revealing a filmmaker to follow in Kristen Stewart. While you wait for the second one to come through, do you know what his top rated movie is on AlloCiné? If you need to guess, know that its director is also an actor.
With an average rating of 4.28 out of 5 from 61,506 ratings, this is indeed an adaptation of John Krakauer’s (itself inspired by the true story of Christopher McCandless) book of the same name, Into the Wild, starring Sean Penn, a fourth time behind the camera, an Indian runner, and a young man who turns this ad guard around. He turns his back on the bright future to which he is promised to go and live by nature.
In the cast led by Emil Hirsch, Kristen Stewart plays a secondary (but prominent) role, as well as William Hart, Marcia Gay Harden, Jena Malone, Catherine Keener, Vince Vaughn, Zach Galifianakis or even Hal Holbrook, who received one of the 8 nominated barrels, with 20 Oscars.
Some excerpts from reviews by viewers who rated Into the Wild 5 out of 5
Loskov: “What can I say except that it’s beautiful and to the point of tears… an extraordinary story that makes for an extraordinary film. This road trip is amazing, and even if we feel that the character’s motivation will not take him far in life, to distance himself from others, we can only root for him. Emil Hirsch is extremely believable in this role. In majestic, boundless Alaska, the wheat is being harvested huge fields. And what a soundtrack! 2h30 passes by itself, we are transferred, we ask for more!”
Louis DCiné: “The music is excellent. It fits the atmosphere of this film incredibly. The ending is very touching, the moral of happiness is very well used and quite philosophical. I can’t find anything negative to say. This film will stay in the minds of those who have seen it. A must-see masterpiece.”
“Big Moment in Cinema”
Power: “The story of this young boy who decides to give up everything for wildlife is fabulous. It also shows us how small a person can be in front of the nature that feeds him. Absolutely brilliant, a great moment in cinema!”
Shephard69: “A wonderful story, deeply ecological and anti-capitalist, reactionary, very poetic and charming, but with a cruel and sad ending. A dream for every traveller’s heart. A great soundtrackEddie Vedder Perfectly suited to the magnificent painting of luxurious natural landscapes. A movie that reminds me a lot Jeremiah Johnson .”
bobmorane63: “The new millennium is finally getting its Jeremiah Johnson, Sidney Pollack’s excellent film with Robert Redford. The casting is excellent with an up-and-coming actor, the new DiCaprio, Emile Hirsch, and beloved supporting roles such as Catherine Keener, Vince Vaughn, Hal Hobrook. Go see this movie, it’s a must.”
“A Wonderful Enchantment”
videoman29: Perfectly interpreted by Emil Hirsch (A True Revelation), it shows great simplicity and surprising power of persuasiveness. The meetings he meets and his reflection on life and society make us spend 2 hours out of 30 hours as if in his dreams. Nature’ results are so dense and you find yourself so involved (immersed) that it is impossible to be bored, even for a second.”
CH1218: “The slow and intimate staging, the beauty of the images, Eddie Vedder’s music that fits the film perfectly, Emile Hirsch’s loud interpretation in the title role and the sincerity of the supporting roles – Catherine Keener, Brian DierkerVince Waugh, Kristen Stewart and Hal Holbrook – help make this road movie magical.”
