Preview: Bella (2007)


Poster: B

Review:

Calming, soft colors and a moon-like title lettering help make this one of the more visually appealing films of the year. However, the massive amounts of text marring the tableau only serve to weaken the image.

Trailer: B-

Review:

While I can't be 100% certain, the idea of having two characters that share a past is an interesting one. The lead actor and actress, the trailer suggests may have had an incident that caused her pain. However, he didn't want to abandon her and thus, with his new appearance, trying to make that difference in her life he couldn't originally make. If the concept is different then, I'm not sure it will hold much more than a passing interest.

Oscar Prospects:

I can't see a film like this earning Oscar nominations. It features no major stars and isn't a foreign entry to the Foreign Language Film award (a category a flick like this might do well in).

Release Date:

October 26, 2007

Synopsis Review:

I have not seen this film.
