Watch: Clouds of Sils Maria 2014 123movies, Full Movie Online – The first real professional success for famed French actress Maria Enders was twenty years ago as the co-lead in writer Wilhelm Melchoir’s play and subsequent movie “Maloja Snake”, he who picked Maria, then an unknown, personally. She played Sigrid, an opportunistic eighteen year old in an emotionally dependent lesbian relationship with forty year old Helena, who was at a vulnerable stage of her life. Maria has turned down the play’s upcoming London revival in which she would now play Helena, it remounted by director Klaus Diesterweg. Her reasons for turning down the role are many including: being at a vulnerable stage of her own life going through a painful divorce; remembering the suicide of Susan Rosenberg, the original Helena, following the original run of the play, the suicide purportedly mirroring what happens to Helena; and the painful memories of the production in still having hard feelings toward who was her older male costar, Henryk Wald, with who she had an affair at the time. Maria reconsiders and accepts the role when Wilhelm unexpectedly passes away, she hearing the news en route to the Zurich Film Festival where she was to accept an award on recluse Wilhelm’s behalf. Maria begins to regret her decision, largely due to having to work with nineteen year old Jo-Ann Ellis as Sigrid, Jo-Ann a trained actress whose Hollywood lifestyle is making her self-destruct, this behavior which Maria, who hates the Internet and the Hollywood gossip on it, did not know before signing the contract. But what may be most difficult for Maria is the role opening up her own professional relationship and friendship with her younger American personal assistant, Valentine, the two who are staying at Wilhelm’s mountain retreat in Sils Maria in the Swiss Alps, where Maria is preparing for the play and where many of the locations were inspiration for the play’s themes..
Plot: A veteran actress comes face-to-face with an uncomfortable reflection of herself when she agrees to take part in a revival of the play that launched her career 20 years earlier.

**The actors and their generation difference, evolution of cinema and the beauty of nature.**

This is about a middle aged actress who spends in the Swiss Alps with her personal assistant while preparing for the upcoming project. During that time, she receives a news that the author of the book which was adapted for the screen 20 years ago where she play a main role and now in its remake, she’s doing another part, while a young sensation playing the main part. This is more like the evolution of cinema. The 20 years is too soon for her, while the cinema and its trend advanced rapidly. Precisely to say, the commercial films and young actors taking over the art films and true artists’ places respectively.

If you at least 30 years old, you would get this film more than others. Because while I was growing up in the 90s, the cinema was so different. I’m not talking about the technology like computer graphics, but the story and how it was narrated for the screen. Now the science- fiction and dystopian themes taking over with the young audience and social media support. I think it was a quite meaningful film, particularly if you adore films like the recent evolution in cinema was so faster than ever.

The negatives were, the film was too long, slow pace and too simple drama. The positives were, the actors and their performances, the locations, theme and some of the dialogues. Directed by a French filmmaker, this is an international project with a few guest appearances. Most of the film was set in the Alps. Totally different than what I was anticipating, but I still like, except in a few parts where I got bored for its weak development. So this is for the selected audience, that mean it will be appreciated by a very few and I’m kind of neutral with mostly in its favour.

_6/10_

On the way to accept an award from the playwright that discovered her – the very same man who suddenly passes away before the ceremony – acclaimed actress, Maria Enders, is forced to reconcile both her age and her role in contemporary art. While rehearsing for a role, of which she has no choice taking due to her age, she has to reckon with the young actress playing her old role.

This is a slow-paced movie, that is, it takes its time revealing the deteriorating confidence of an aging actress. What accentuates her strife are the locations: the lonesome mountains, long winding roads, both straddled by rolling, ground-smothering fog and clouds. Great lingering shots and cinematography eases the eye, as Maria rehearses and incrementally loses her mind with her young assistant, Valentine. Although her assistant attempts to defend what her boss deems as insufficient art (or cinema) and unprofessional (particularly the young costar of the upcoming play), Maria threshes with the stifling fact that her roles – both her role in the play and in the world of art – are changing without her control or consideration.

The acting in this film is commendable, with a solid performance from Juliette Binoche (as always) and a surprising effort from Kristen Stewart. These two carry the movie with palpable chemistry – so much so that every turn in their relationship dictates not only the environment of the film, but also the audience.

This film is for the patient, and for those who don’t mind huge questions.

Ambiguity
Ambiguity is the key world of this film. You are the major actor in the sense that your interpretation makes the film. Each scene is so ambiguous that you can always interpret it in various manners so in the end _you_ are the director. When Maria and Val work on the text, rehearse the play, the feelings are so mingled that you are the one who decide if they are those of Helena- Sigrid or rather Maria-Val. Reality is entangled. I loved the Alps hiking shots and overall the mysterious Maloja snake. I would have rated it a 9 to the Writer-Director Olivier Assayas but reduced it to a 8 because I was disappointed in Juliette Binoche’s performance. She is usually better than in this film, it is as if she didn’t feel like acting this character, a bit like what happens in the film itself. At several occasions her laugh is artificial and fake. She is obviously ill at ease in this character, which proves what I wrote before about entangled reality between the film itself and the play prepared in the film. I’m not sure I am very clear but those who have seen and felt/perceived the movie as I, will understand.

A filmed play about a play directed and written about the same guy about himself
The great performances of the actors in the film are offset only by the stubbornness of the director to not display anything else. Complex characters played brilliantly by Binoche, Stewart and Moretz express so many different emotions related to the female psyche – after all, the film was written at Binoche’s challenge to Olivier Assayas to make a movie about women – yet they refuse to describe any coherent one character. I feel that this is on purpose, as all three women are basically just facets of the same archetypal female.

With this material and these talented women, it could have been a great film, however Assayas’ work is defiled by his own ego. The stories of the characters interweave with his life and work, with connections to some of his films, including the one that he wrote for Binoche for her first major role and reminding, for no good reason, of Ingmar Bergman’s work. In the end, when you are left wondering “what the hell was this film about?”, you realize that it is a lot about the guy that both wrote and directed it. Big surprise there!

That being said, my conclusion is that it is a very difficult to rate a movie. Great performances, nice direction, good soundtrack and a plot that weaves into itself to tease the viewer into subtleties of emotion and understanding. Yet if you, like me, couldn’t give a damn about Olivier Assayas, you will find it difficult to accept the ending that provides no resolution whatsoever. Perhaps it is a brush of genius, though: if it’s really about women, then you only get a series of WTF moments including the final one. It’s a play on a play about a play.
