Movie - Eva [Japan BD] SHBR-137 Review

...less effective somehow? Well I was expecting something *more* about this EVA (yep, the name is also symbolic LOL!) even if I knew it to be the 1st film from this director: it's been successful at festivals & it's also unusual to have a film like that made in Spain, since it probably looks more "British" (plus it features Daniel Bruhl, always a guarantee), but hey anyway it's been a nice movie to have around for a change.
It's more a sort of psychological thriller-melodrama than a real sci-fi movie in my opinion: despite the beautiful Swiss landscape, good cast & the ambitious idea beneath it, regarding what robots might become around 2040, I think it lacks pace & in a certain way "answers" as well to the questions it rises. (Besides the director's vintage choice of creating a clone of the '70/80ies for the WHOLE visual look, from glasses to cigarettes, with Bowie's music! it quite bothered me because seemed really filmed in the past instead of in a futuristic era, not even in Prometheus or new Star Wars movies they did it like that, even if they had more "issues" trying to link the look of the older films to the new ones of their franchises).

The special effects are good, they seem realistic, but again, it's a film that focuses more on the (soapy) drama of the relationships (but without grounding it to a solid background, which is all off-screen) rather than pure sci-fi: personally i.e. I didn't care as much as the director for the difficult set into the snow as a symbol for "something else", he should have developed instead the theme more clearly at least for me to truly feel it. Eva's little actress Claudia, for 1st time on screen is perfect, she's got such a natural charm "la nina", the film would have been lost without her for sure.
But if you also add that the basic idea isn't so original after all, & that I did see coming the "surprise" early on (Americans did the "children-robot's tale" in previous films as A.I., & somehow also Frankenstein told at the core a similar plot), then I'd have wanted something deeper, especially a longer film to explain what happens after the inevitable climax. Rethinking to Scott's similar approach, Blade Runner did have regardless that *poetic spark* missed here.

PS_The dvd is a special edition with 2 discs, 1 has the film in Catalan or Spanish (Castellano) with English subtitles only, plus the director's commentary (only Spanish without any subtitles), the other disc contains the usual backstage things but also the deleted scenes (without subs) of the flashbacks that would have helped to flesh it out more the plot (the 1 about the past of the 3 protagonists is 22 min. long), & last but not least, the alternative finale, that would have changed the whole impact of it (for the record, I still prefer the official 1).
