Things become a little more difficult to comprehend in the very beginning thanks to Cuckoo’s increasing showcase, and however much I always back the jawline to finish up strong, I expected the plot subversive scenes that detract from this stunning work of a filmmaker too.
Why exactly does the film pick a jigsaw, dark mysterious theme, and what purpose is that supposed to serve those like echoes that feel like they are drowning the picture out? Are we as audience/spectators/ or rather, viewers, meant to feel spoonfed within the depth of uncertainty, or has the final product set its goals too high for us? The intention felt sincere, the gaze was non-threatening which should have been the case for this, as I said the mood is quite mellow; same with these actors who tend to put out real need in the work, however, this push doesn’t enhance them but rather make them feel inevitable. The jump from ‘Woah’ to ‘Wait, Wot?’ is pretty impressive as well as the speed at which it occurs is rather surprising.
While Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens are clearly over the top with their behavior, they do keep the audience’s attention to an extent. The two are strikingly different actors and as a result, the scenario invokes makeup as well as push and pull from the very first moments. Taking a But since this is his style.
Aryan contempt seems to compliment the outright deranged sadomasochistic persona that he had for The Guest and Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga it’s casual this is Stevens after all! (The German accent was excellent, instead of his role in “I’m Your Man”). He has an incredible ability to pull off an unusual role, his demeanor is highly concentrated and shady which makes it hard to gamble on him, yet extremely seductive at the same time.
Schafer welcomes the audience in a rather unusual way. Also, it should be stressed that out of all inhabiting, she is not the one to get lost in the wonderful setting and does say that something terrible is the case without batting an eye. Like in the case of Florence Pugh’s character in ‘Midsommar,’ she, on the contrary, is unsuccessful since nobody cares for her in the already stunning but extremely hostile alien environment.
Schafer is cast as Gretchen, a 17-year-old American girl, whose mother has just died. She is in a catatonic state of grief and suddenly gets taken by her father Marton Csokas, along with his new wife Jessica Henwick, and their mute toddler Mila Lieu to an Italian Alpine resort. While working with the cinematographer Paul Faltz, Singer, as mentioned in the first section of the paper, takes us to this place which she portrays as the difficult yet appealing bottom-up shooting perspective of the enormous mountains and the kind of oppressive effect they exert on Gretchen.
It is also revealed that her father has business interests there and asks one of the guests, Herr König Stevens, a little fanny managing the place, to hold on for a little while until he finishes business with Gillian’s father regarding a new endeavor.
I expected my shadows to be looking over fashionable like they were at some sort of resort, however, the very first moment made it evident that the cold mirrors of images would not allow this to become a resort place. How is it possible then, that Herr König’s flat passive-aggressive stance becomes a complete overbearing control and makes her want to escape the place even more?
When he pronounces her name, R is rolled but ‘Gretchen’ is stretched, and that is the amalgamation of her reprimand with egotism.
She, however, appears to be under an unnatural force that seems to keep her at the same spot where I will. We have one of the Mary and Gretchen sequences in which we have fathomed that Mary is still at her hotel and has only just signed across at reception trying to cycle herself home in the late evening. As in this case, due to their remarkable ability to manipulate timing Singer, Gibson, and Thomas are able once again to terrify us and bring true emotions which are difficult to control in precisely the right proportions. In addition, the scene in question is a dense and monotonous one, which has an interesting development that has various unexpected and dramatic turns.
A loud explosion and a loud shriek mark the end of the last two parts, and while this audio-visual preference could be frustrating in the beginning to some of us who are lost in the deafening surroundings, it becomes simply exasperating once the origin of the noise is established. Still, given the context, especially if one believes in her magic to lose things or the magic of episodes she has gone through, it all becomes moot. This particular angle of Schwartz’s suffering must be very painful because it is the least gratifying to even think of the message she uses when sticking the tape on her mother. As soon as she comes on screen even without her possessing any kind of power, one cannot help but hope that even the mere introduction of her to us is sufficient to set our hearts on fire in anticipation of meager burdens to throw Rebout hard into the walls.
Nonetheless, we grasp rapidly how things are supposed to be or rather, how we think they ought to be. It may be valuable to consider on one hand, somewhere there is a dark fable as to why control over bodily autonomy should in the first place be however, Such a message still cannot be located within the turbulent narrative. It is quite possible that one might not even entirely understand such a message which leads us to the question, is what it tries to convey even message, exactly or at all? “Cuckoo” Will Definitely upset you.
