Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

2012
Drama
Caroline and Jackie, directed by Adam Christian Clark showcases us a horrific scenario of one-evening dinner with unexpected quests. The movie centers on two sisters, Caroline and Jackie who seems to be the lovely siblings, but from the very first minute we are to understand that something is wrong with their relationships. First of all, Caroline unexpectedly visits Jackie at her home and invites sister and her friends to the restaurant party despite the fact that Jackie was cooking al the day to have a great dinner with her friends. As Jackie agrees to accept Caroline's invitation she learns that this improvised surprise party was arranged by Caroline to celebrate Jackie's birthday, which passed two months ago. A ridiculous dinner turns to totally boring nightmare as quests gradually immerse into sisters uneasy relations hearing Caroline jibes addressed to Jackie As everybody feels that dinner is broken they finish the dishes hastily and moves to Jackie's house. However, if you suppose that Caroline is the "bad guy" in among the siblings, it means that you dramatically underestimate Jackie's nature. And this is not the end, as the action unfolds it becomes absolutely clear that their friends, both Caroline's and Jackie's are complete ass-holes as well. It's hard to say why Adam Christian Clark so carefully and accurately filmed such a bunch of deranged characters, but nevertheless he made it masterfully.
Rabbit Hole

Rabbit Hole

2010
Drama
The Rabbit Hole movie's pivotal event, the gut-wrenching and heart-numbing tragedy that sends Becca and Howie Cotbett down the rabbit hole, is over and done before the movie begins: Their four-year-old son has run out into the street, been hit by a teen-age driver, and died. Rabbit Hole movie deals with the more complicated, considerably more disturbing question, "Then what?" Adapted from a Pulitzer Prize winning play that enjoyed a long and distinguished run on Broadway, Rabbit Hole literally "speaks to" grown-up audiences willing to listen to the nuances in the dialogue—the language of psychotherapy laced with bitter sarcasm and fierce rage."Nicole Kidman does not merely star in Rabbit Hole movie; she makes it her personal tour de force, playing Becca with all the brittle delicacy of Wedgewood china and all the fevered intensity of a serial killer. The marquee proclaims Aaron Eckhart also stars, but he really is the fern and baby's breath to Kidman's flourishing rose bouquet. Howie cheats on his wife, and Becca stalks their baby's killer, and somehow they convince themselves and the audience that really they are just a couple of struggling suburbanites "trying to find their way back to a life that still holds the potential for beauty, laughter and happiness." Rabbit Hole movie director John Cameron Mitchell drains away the film's melodrama and pathos by rendering it in "drab, functional, TV-movie naturalism," making it beguiling and terrifying. Through Mitchell's lens, the horrific events and overwhelming emotions seem exceptionally familiar and perfectly ordinary. Rabbit Hole terrifies everyday Cineplex audiences, forcing them to recognize just how easily they might become Becca and Howie.
