Toronto is on full blast on the Day 1 of Toronto International Film Festival 2015 with world premieres, guest appearances, promotions, advertising as tourists and film aficionados flock from the different parts of the globe. Two very good films happened to be screened: one brought humor to the audience and the other with an unspeakable moment of silence before a huge round of applause from the crowd.
Demolition
(Jean-Marc Vallée, USA)
While Jean-Marc Vallée’s latest might bring irk and rejection to some due to blatantly sharp sense of humor in the face of unnerving human tragedy, the uninhabited psyche delivers the best on Jake Gyllenhaal’s compelling performance as a husband who is grieving on the untimely death of his wife. Demolition can be easily interpreted as a narrative about destruction but in a more artful sense, the film is a deconstruction of the resiliency and vulnerability of our thoughts.
With a protagonist whose means of soul searching is through the different ways of destruction, ironically, Vallée’s real intent is to show how obliteration is an unbiased subset of creation. The divisive nature of the film and the out of timing release date (April, 2016) might not benefit Gyllenhaal’s act at all, but it is very great to see a rewarding character from the actor after ‘Brokeback Mountain’ and ‘Nightcrawler’.

Son of Saul
(László Nemes, Hungary)
Son of Saul is a revealing and entrancing first feature film from László Nemes. The film’s spontaneity, devastating and depressing scenes although out make it very hard to digest and impossible to forget and ignore. Nemes’ technique of bringing the horror of the holocaust onscreen is not to display blood and gore but rather to keep the psychological suffering of the protagonists at the center of every narratives and frames. The audible sounds of dying people screaming, grasping for air and banging the metal door while being incinerated in the chambers is more harrowing than seeing the actual murders. The camera movement and several long takes were effectively choreographed as it constantly hover the glimpses of terrors with the naked bodies being dragged in the floor or the mountains of random belongings from the poor souls.
‘Son of Saul’ is perhaps one of the best films you will be seeing this year and even it is from a genre that tell and retell similar stories, the visual style of ‘Son of Saul’ really stood out.
