Nine Meals from Chaos

Even for Ivan Noel, this is a severely dystopian film which one views not for entertainment but for enlightenment and to speculate with awe how he gets such performances from rag-tag local kids. In some of his emails to me over recent years he made clear his rage at many aspects of modern society so I was not surprised when he opted for suicide.This movie has less childhood nudity than most of his films (in none is the nudity inappropriate) so, "peepers" don't bother. Also, know that this movie is far, far removed from casual entertainment as it moves through boring segments (unless one likes excellent cinematography and lengthy segments on kids dealing with starvation/privation at the dark ends of civilization).Long live Ivan through his films. I gather there are plans to continue in his physical absence but he will always be present on set and in the hearts of many who got to know a little of him.

Another awesome film by Ivan Noel. Right on target as usual. His movies are highly controversial, but socially accurate. He tells in his films the truth nobody wants to speak or hear. For those who like polemical movies, this is it! I also recommend watching 'Rejected and the Tutor'.If anybody thinks humans have progressed to anything more than being a destructive, selfish and cruel animal, he doesn't know history or is a fool. How can we talk about 'human progress' if this progress depends entirely on the stability of the grid??. Take away a man's food or supply chain and after missing nine meals you get a 'ruthless hominid' capable of destroying anything and anyone.Spoiler. This is not a non-stop action movie. It's not amusing entertainment, it's a slow pased drama. It's a film for critical thinking and openminded analysis.And a very good one, indeed!

Ivan noel has the same line as inguimar bergman and salvador dalithe art he show us, is the deep secret we try to hide from ouselves.amazing director and his movies are outstand and very futuristic to this era.

Won't play,I have special player.

A darker Lord of the Flies take.

This is a big themed movie with a low budget----too low. It's interesting and a decent attempt, but it just hasn't the tools to truly engage the viewer.

Maybe I didn't get it I thought this was okay at best. Still had it moments though.

Preso dopo aver letto un paio di recensioni dei film del regista; mi incuriosiva, l'ho trovato un ottimo survival movie diverso però dai soliti, lo definirei un "The Road" (film con Viggo Mortensen) ma senza adulti. Belli i paesaggi e la fotografia, rendono molto bene l'atmosfera del film

Un film étrange, post-apocalyptique (je suppose)...Dialogues en espagnol, mais narration en anglais. Seuls les dialogues sont sous-titrés en anglais...Sinon, pour les germanophones sous-titres en allemand pour l'ensemble du film (voix off et dialogues, donc)Je comprends l'anglais écrit mais j'ai du mal avec l'oral. Quant à l'allemand, je suis nul. Donc je suis mal placé pour évaluer ce film, auquel je n'ai rien compris.

This lovely film is a bout kids survival trying to eat and drink and keep clean but there is sad bits and good bits there is also kids being kids a little nude but it didn't bother me as we we're all kids before we all human it was a great film Shame the kids have to live like this left to there out devices and not having anyone to help them but that's if they kill you or eat you that's not good but they have no home nothing even eating worms or something like that what a life for them but it was a true film what life is like it can be so crule this is a film for everyone

me ha gustado en general

Iván Noels Filme waren nie etwas für Zartbesaitete, aber dieser mutet dem Zuschauer so viele Grausamkeiten zu, dass es hart ist, ihn bis zum Ende durch zu stehen. Bei der Erstsichtung letztes Weihnachten (nicht immer die passende Zeit für die Noel-Films-Serie) musste ich, weil ich nicht hartgesotten genug war, abbrechen, als eine scheinbar hilfsbereite Frau das angelockte Kinderfleisch kaltherzig mit einem Kissen erstickte. Keine Moral kann den Hunger überwinden, wird dafür als Rechtfertigung genommen. Gute Filme verdienen nicht, dass man sie nicht fertig schaut. Dieses Jahr nahm ich mir also vor, stark zu sein, habe bis zum Ende durchgehalten und kann die Rezension schreiben.Sehr ungemütliche Wahrheiten verpackt mein Lieblingsregisseur in seinem warnenden, bildstarken 2018er Kunstwerk schonungslos in einem Szenario, das trotz kindlicher Hauptakteure vielleicht sogar besser mit FSK 18 besiegelt wäre: Der Mensch als bestialisches Tier, das aufhört, ein Kind zu sein, sobald es selber Kinder bekommen kann, und die Zivilisation als Instrument, um den Menschen von seiner Natur abzulenken.Ich habe mir eine Box gebastelt, in der die Noel Films gebührend gesammelt werden und einen Premiumplatz in meinem DVD-Regal erhalten. Fazit: Der Mann wird nicht schlechter; nur seine Themen werden drastischer.
