Original title: 怪 谈
Country: Hong Kong
Year: 2009
Directed by: Fong SaiKeung
film version of a popular television series in Hong Kong, The Unbelievable is actually a kind of documentary film by nearly an hour and a half.
The crew of the TV series, not complete but almost goes to Thailand and Malaysia to look at the beliefs and customs of the place.
Since nothing exceptional here except that almost all the situations in which the protagonists are exposed or is patently false and built up quite tiring cliche by now, or very free and unnecessarily cruel.
said that, on an empty stomach is actually a film that knows how to win attention, bringing the viewer in touch with reality as distant and mysterious as to be attractive even in the most murdered (a dispassionate advice: if you are weak stomach, avoid like the plague): it goes from the evocation of spirits with a lot of voodoo practices in slaughtering of any animal species, rituals of rejuvenation by holy men of sexual hermaphrodites and the failed attempts at exhumation.
Giving a tragic tone, presumably to provide some kind of noble justification (?!?!?!) at all, involved the initial scenes that are nothing more than journalistic stock footage of the carnage that took place after the tsunami that struck the 'Indian Ocean in 2004.
Visually interesting, shot in documentary style with shots from vivo and consequent sea-sickness for the most politically delicate. However, it appears watchable, though not overly bright. Model
sometimes too unnatural but tuttosommato suit particciole by television star that was proper dive.
A note of credit for the many (and free !!!!!) cats that populate the shots.
be followed until after the "fake" letters, the final scene is interesting.
"Paranormal Activity" in Eastern version, with all that this entails.
Rating: 4.5
