One of the best films I’ve watched this year are ‘Reconstruction’ and ‘Allegro’ by Christoffer Boe. “It is a film, it is all a construction. But even so, it hurts.” “It is very important that you understand the movie is actually playful. It likes being a movie, it’s playing with how you can tell a story, and it doesn’t really take itself too seriously.”
The movie about how people do not take seriously the things that may happen every day. Perhaps it’s nor right, perhaps it’s so. The film looks like reconstruction a dream – you sleep and you don’t. You make a choice and you cant do that.
Love is like a dream but it’s not in our power to change the way it goes. After graduating from the Danish Film School in 2001, Christoffer Boe’s student film Anxiety played at the 2002 festival, where it won a prize from French critics, and then Boe returned to the Croisette the following year with his debut feature, Reconstruction. A dazzlingly inventive and playful film, Reconstruction’s tale of love and parallel universes in Copenhagen beguiled critics and was awarded both the Camera D’Or and the Prix Regards Jeune. Boe was celebrated as international cinema’s most precocious wunderkind, and his film played all around the world, plundering prizes – including the prestigious FIPRESCI Director of the Year award at San Sebastian Film Festival – wherever it went.
Next his film ‘Allegro” is also coming the way of love but with a lot more melancholy. Ansering on the question – Were those films a reflection on what was going on in director’s life at the time, Christoffer Boe said: ‘My movies have gone in the exact opposite direction of my own life. I’ve become more and more happy, and my movies have become more and more depressive. Offscreen is off the charts in depression and hatred. I don’t know how the relationship works between that, but it seems like there is an outlet in my cinema for some feelings that I don’t have in my personal life.’

If you could travel back in time are you sure you can ewmind all those you loved and all thoose who loved you.
- ‘What’s the meaning of this?… Do you remember this woman?…You remember something?
- I forgot it.
FM: Are you ever totally satisfied with your films? Reconstruction was such a huge success and seemed to be universally loved, but how did you feel about it?
Boe: I really don’t look back. When I make a movie, it’s a closure on something I want to deal with, but I don’t look back on when I was very successful. Obviously I tend to look at what people don’t like. There was a lot of stuff that people said about Reconstruction and even more so about Allegro. Obviously I try to listen to that because there might be something wrong with the way that I work with some of the ideas, but I don’t look back in the sense that it’s never Le Mépris. It’s never Godard.
I love what Lars Von Trier does, I mean his movies and ways he offers to follow him. This horrific drama tells the story of a grieving couple who retreat to a cabin in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course providing the shortest way from bad to worse.
In the initial press release, Von Trier said that the film would offer “a glimpse into the dark world of my imagination: into the nature of my fears, into the nature of Antichrist.”
Sofia Coppola was burn in May 14, 1971 in the family of legendary film director Francis Ford Coppola. No wonder that she has chosen the way of cinematograph like her father. So she made her film debut playing baby Michael Francis Rizzi in her father’s film The Godfather (1972). At two years of age, she made an appearance in The Godfather Part II (1974) as a child on a steamship. Over the next few years she appeared in four more of her father’s films, including The Outsiders (1983), Rumble Fish (1983), The Cotton Club (1984) and Peggy Sue Got Married (1986). She landed a role in a short directed by Tim Burton and a small part in the feature film Anna (1987) directed by Yurek Bogayevicz, before replacing Winona Ryder in The Godfather Part III (1990). Unfortunately, she was awarded with two Razzie awards for her trouble: Worst New Star and Worst Supporting Actress. She made one more film appearance, in Inside Monkey Zetterland (1992), before realizing that rather than acting, she wanted to follow in her father’s footsteps. She enrolled at the California Institute of the Arts to study Fine Arts.
Her first film was a short that she wrote and directed, called Lick the Star (1998). She made her feature film directing debut with her own screenplay, The Virgin Suicides (1999), starring Hayden Christensen (pre-Star Wars Episode II), Josh Hartnett and Kirsten Dunst. Directing seemed to be the right choice for Sofia, as she won a Young Hollywood Award for Best Director, as well as an MTV Movie Award for Best New Filmmaker.
Coppola, whose cousin is Nicolas Cage, married fellow director Spike Jonze in 1999, then wrote, produced and directed her next feature film, Lost in Translation (2003), a romantic comedy starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. Coppola won a Golden Globe for her screenplay, as well the Lina Mangiacapre Award at the Venice Film Festival for the film. She also received Best Director and Best Original Screenplay nods at the 2004 Academy Awards, winning the Best Original Screenplay Oscar.
In 2003, Coppola and Jonze divorced. She went on to write and direct Marie Antoinette (2006), starring Kirsten Dunst, which won the Cinema Prize of the French National Education System at the Cannes Film Festival.
