| Review: Guy Ritchie is responsible for a small cinematographic revolution via Snatch. For the first time, scenes have a picture cut and a tone cut following the same rythm. Tarentino and Asian epics paved the way by having a choregraphy for some scenes, but did not go so far. In addition, the soundtrack is picking in a very cool register of the end 90s, and is fitting perfectly to the storyline. The language used by the small delinquents on one hand and by the Gypsies on the other hands is really fun and folkloristic. The "Pickeys" are even almost not understandable! The play of the actors is well done. For the fun of this comedy, and the suspsense of the storyline, and the music, and the unique cut, this movie is a master piece to me. |

I had seen Snatch years ago but wanted to see it again following this great review. I have just watched it in Blu-ray, which doesn't bring anything to the quality of the movie except for redering perfectly the great soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your review. You don't get bored one minute during the film! It just makes me feel so bad seeing people and dogs being beaten up and killed all the time.
My rating: 9/10
