Watch Aloys For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This odd, stylish, Swiss film is nothing if not original. Intrigue is controlled well enough that the story flows amidst strange characterisations and dry precision. It progresses as if toward magic realism but in the end the viewer is rewarded with a satisfyingly imaginative drama.

It's difficult because I do not know what he's telling me. I admit that I like rational and linear scripts, but this film is totally unclassifiable. It's a movie so absurd that it's about seeing the characters in several places at once without one because it loses me.It is so irrational that there comes a time that only gets tired and that is just waiting for the end.I do not know how the actors are, because although I see them well, but I do not know what they are telling me, so I do not know if they do it right or wrong.At first, I was surprised by the photography. I thought it was very good. But of course, when I checked that I did not know he was telling me, I do not know if he supports the story or not. Which is pretty, yes, but where is it going?His address, since for me it does not exist, because it has no way, because it is very bad.I think there are better things to invest your time

Aloys Aldon is a lonely man, he works as a Private Detective in Switzerland. He was under the thrall of his father who has just died and now he is alone with a cat who seems estranged and has a magnesium deficiency. He has spent his life viewing the World through the view finder of his cam corderThen something happens that makes him realise just how bland his existence is and that he has all the charm of a disused latrine – but strangely it awakens in him a part of his being that he had felt erstwhile lost. Now this is a strange film and it is meant to be. It co-mingles reality with fantasy in a way that is completely believable.The music is often portentous or hinting at a dripping emotion like a dam about to burst. The shots are all beautifully framed and the tension creeps up on you without you realising it – only to be broken by moments of release. In short a film that a lot of thought and soul has gone into. It is a slow starter though a very slow start but it is so worth staying with – this is one for those who appreciate what cinema can do and not expect it to be as they have always known.

A very good sci-fi concept, poorly executed. As the film begins, you are reminded of Harry Caul of Coppola's "The Conversation," which was brilliantly played by Gene Hackman.This film cannot boast of a Hackman or a John Cazale.You have a dead father being cremated but we are never told how he died.Secondary characters like Aloys' childhood classmate are never fleshed out. The concept of a drunk Aloy being locked up in a bus does not ring true. It appears he had urinated in his trousers in one shot. In a later shot, there is no such evidence.All in all it is a film that had so much potential that fails to deliver.
