The first feature film to be made by the state of Kuwait. It is a period piece about Kuwait before the discovery of oil when fishing was the predominant occupation. Bay Ya Bahr is the story of a crippled pearl diver who forbids his son Mussaid to go to sea to dive for pearls. Mussaid’s father got the ‘bends’ after resurfacing too fast during a shark attack on his boat. However, the boy cannot see any other way to make enough money to mary Nura, his beloved. Nura is the daughter of a merchant who wants her to marry for money. Finally, his father gives Mussaid permission to go to sea and even gives him his special black diving suit. Mussaid then works with the man to whom his father owes money. While Mussaid is away, Nura is forced by her family to marry a rich, older suitor. During his last dive Mussaid puts his hand inside a huge clam which closes on it. Mussaid is gasping for air and his friend has to amputate his arm in order to ‘rescue’ him. However Mussaid was dead long before he was brought to the boat. Nura meanwhile is raped by her husband on her wedding night. Mussaid’s best friend looks through his cache of oysters and gradually starts opening all of them. Finally when he gets to the last one he finds a huge pearl inside. Maybe Mussaid’s death will not be in vain if he can give this to Mussaid’s family. When the boat reaches Kuwait, Mussaid’s mother is welcomed by the dead body of her son and his prize – the pearl – for which he lost his life. The mother stares at the sea with unbridled rage and flings the pearl into it uttering the phrase: “Bas ya bahr” (enough oh sea)!

Bing Wang – Fu yu zi AKA Father and Sons (2014)

$

0

29f7c043f76a2bde437fd0d52a185152

Synopsis:
“In 2011, Cai took his two sons to his workplace, a factory in Fuming, where he worked as a stone caster, and found a school for them. Ever since, they have been living in a hut owned by the factory, with only one bed. We began filming their life on February 2nd 2014. On the morning of the 6th, we received threats from the boss and had to stop filming.”



Review:
Father and Sons opens with a single, remarkably complex image. It’s evening in a small apartment in Fumin, China. Two boys sit back in bed, the flickering light of an unseen television barely visible on the left side of the frame. The shadow of a man, their father, rises up and dominates the screen. The light is warm, the walls bare. Things remain still a long while, until the parent decides that it’s time to turn off the TV and go to sleep. Like an overture, this first shot contains the kernel of what will grow into a taxing meditation on adolescence in the 21st century.
At least that’s what it seems to be about. Director Wang Bing, famous for his three-part industrial epic West of the Tracks, doesn’t offer much in the way of interpretive help in his newest film. After the evening prelude, Father and Sons consists almost entirely of stationary shots inside this small apartment. Stonemason Cai Shinhua lives there with his two sons, Yongjin and Yonggao, each of whom spends most of his time either passively watching television or actively staring into his smart phone. With the exception of a few brief glimpses out toward the urban landscape of Fumin, Wang points his camera at that same, unchanging bare wall. The room is cramped, with a large dent in the floor and no visible windows. The floor and the shelves are cluttered with various boxes and bags, three well-behaved dogs and the ever-present but always-unseen television.
Wang began shooting on February 2nd, 2014 and was forced to stop on February 6th, when he was threatened by Cai’s boss. It is unclear whether Father and Sons is footage from one day or all of them, but the final cut of the film is edited to resemble a single afternoon and evening. Usually only one of the boys is in the room, silently texting away or playing games, listening to but infrequently watching the TV. Individual shots last for minutes on end, the stationary camera capturing the remarkable stamina of Yongjin and Yonggao to do nothing at all with their time. It is at once intriguing and mundane, taking the common sense fact that teenagers do nothing but look at their phones and forcing an audience to address this issue directly, without even the slightest distraction. The ultimate interactivity of the smart phone has been upended and morphed into an almost completely static experience.
All the while it is somewhat unclear how Wang feels about this himself. As night falls, it begins to resemble satire. Each successive time one of the boys charges his phone becomes a visual joke, commenting on how their only physical movement consists of standing up and walking over to a power outlet. It’s like a remake of Luis Buñuel’s The Exterminating Angel, except instead of viciously poking fun at the Mexican bourgeoisie, Wang is applying a much duller knife to China’s tech-savvy millennial generation. The observational approach, because of the rigor of this editing, loses the calm feeling we usually associate with that style of filmmaking and becomes more of a formal experiment. If its moments of comedy are taken as such, it’s easy to read as an unfair critique of China’s youngsters, and by extension youth worldwide. Yet that’s never made particularly clear, which is what makes Father and Sons a slightly more interesting project. There is much room for interpretation and contemplation. And, given the structure of the film, plenty of time to think it over.

Justine Triet – Victoria AKA In Bed with Victoria (2016)

$

0

29f7c043f76a2bde437fd0d52a185152

Synopsis:
Victoria is a thirty-something divorced lawyer who’s struggling to raise her two daughters. She is canny and cynical but on the verge of an emotional breakdown. At a friend’s wedding she reconnects with Vincent, an old friend, and Sam, an old client. Her life is about to take a new turn.








Review:
“I’m asking myself a lot of questions about my life at the moment.” Jubilantly playing on the contradictions of a modern woman willingly hemmed in by the breaking down of the boundaries between her professional and personal life, Justine Triet opened the Critics’ Week of the 69th Cannes Film Festival with verve and good humour. Following up on the promise of her first feature film, Act of Panic, the director presents a truly original film with In Bed with Victoria, one that bears all the hallmarks of classic American comedy and demonstrates a subtle mastery of the narrative potential offered by borderline and chaotic situations.

Triet, methodically weaving her web over a familiar framework (contrary to her first feature, which was by all accounts a much rawer affair), employs comic tropes that flirt with aplomb and extravagance, and successfully offers up three superimposed levels of perception: a film that is regularly funny, the endearing portrait of a woman bogged down by just a touch of romanticism, and an astute outline of society. This marriage of simplicity and complexity possesses a charm that progressively wins over the viewer, and the movie hands an excellent starring role, the character of criminal lawyer Victoria Spick, to Belgian actress Virginie Efira in a tale of normality falling to pieces.

Victoria, a single mother who is affectionate but completely out of her depth in all things related to parenthood (her flat lies in a state of complete and utter disorder, with various baby-sitters managing the day-to-day routine of her two little girls, who are abandoned to anarchy and screen addiction), attempts to somehow reconcile her dedication to her work with a seemingly fruitless pursuit of emotional and sexual satisfaction (through dates organised online, which are as disappointing as they are hilarious). Our heroine, her brain addled by chronic hesitation, is caught between a cynical view of her job and a hidden desire to regress, and finally loses control when the barriers separating the different areas of her life are torn down following her decision to take on the defence case for her friend Vincent (Melvil Poupaud), who is accused of assaulting his partner. “Completely incapable of getting her life in order”, Victoria is also subject to harassment from her ex (Laurent Poitrenaux), who reveals her life, right down to the most intimate of details, on an online blog. All of this occurs under the gaze of the increasingly affectionate Sam (Vincent Lacoste), a former drug dealer turned baby-sitter living in the family home. From psychoanalyst appointments to visits to a psychic, defence-speech interrogations, disastrous mistakes, and the spilling over of her work into her love life, bit by bit Victoria is driven to a desperate search for a way out of it all…

A tight script, a simple and elegant mise-en-scène, well-balanced and inventive humour that shifts between the tender and the caustic, and at times approaches parody (with its classic courtroom scenes), a juxtaposition of genres wrapped up in the guise of comedy, and the relevance of the social themes touched upon throughout, all ensure that the wealth of quality on show in In Bed with Victoria only increases as the film goes on, once one has adjusted to the fact that this unique character is, at the end of the day, just an everyday modern woman.

With this second feature film, Justine Triet establishes some exciting prospects for herself, such is the ease with which she ties together control and relaxation, quasi-anthropological analysis and fun, and realism and fantasy. It is clear that on display here is a cinematographic potential that comfortably pushes all of its boundaries.

29f7c043f76a2bde437fd0d52a185152

Synopsis:
The story of the legendary King Ludwig II of Bavaria (1845-1886), his opera interest and friendship with theatre personalities such as Richard Wagner and Joseph Kainz, and at the same time a reflection of the German 1800s.

Review:
The first part of Syberberg’s remarkable trilogy (followed by Karl May and Hitler, a Film from Germany), this takes the legend of Ludwig II of Bavaria (Wagner’s patron, virgin homosexual, mad visionary, builder of impossible castles, aesthetic recluse) and filters it through the subsequent chaos of German history: the rise of Bismarck and the Prussians at the turn of the century, and the rise of Hitler in the ’30s. It’s constructed as a series of 28 tableaux, which makes it more like a pageant than a conventional drama: it’s full of deliberate disjunctions and contradictions (both Wagnerian stage designs and modern video footage are used as back-projections, for instance), and it feels free to use elements of kitsch (a Nazi rhumba) alongside moments of ‘high art’ (Isolde’s Liebestod) without apparent distinction. The slow pace and ultra-mannered staging compel either fascination or outright rejection. Those fascinated are rewarded with constant surprises and delights, because it’s one of the most beautiful and defiantly original movies of the ’70s.

29f7c043f76a2bde437fd0d52a185152

Storyline: When Eyal finishes the week of mourning for his late son, his wife urges him to return to their routine but instead he gets high with a young neighbor and sets out to discover that there are still things in his life worth living for.



Quote:
Review from IMDB: “A week and a Day” is Asaph Polonsky’s first feature film and tries to combine drama with humour, levity and death. It does so successfully and warmed the crowd in Montreal where it received deserved praise. It deals with a tough subject, arguably the greatest loss, done slightly better and with more bitterness in 2001 with “In the Bedroom” and “Lantana”. “Rabbit Hole” (2010) was also riveting, but “A week and a Day” (2016) is superior to more recent, yet good and critically acclaimed “The Broken Circle Breakdown” (2012) and very different than all the others and succeeds in a change of perspective and cinematic catharsis.

Warsaw, night, a club by the river. Ojka – young and beautiful prostitute runs out to the parking lot. Wolski-fat, aging politician follows her, lured by her charm. None of the realizes that Ojka is only a bait, and Wolski is going to die in a few minutes…This is a begging of the movie with the study of strange relationship between various elements. The movie is a good description of a new, yet complicated Polish reality. Many interesting characters that appear on screen make the film vivid and real. It is also universal-as an intense, electrifying love story. Also, as a description of journey that begins in total darkness and ends in somewhere brighter light of hope.

Review by mark.waltz at IMDb:

Quote:
A campy shipboard musical

A family of bluebloods made destitute by the depression are scammed into leasing out their yacht and posing as crew to tacky “new money”, one of whom is their former cook. The scam turns out to be a plot by the gruff captain (Ned Sparks, the Walter Matthau of his day) to shipwreck them on a desert island run by a madcap queen (Mary Boland) and escape with their money. Of course, things go afoul as the queen has plans of her own.

Such is the basic plot of this pre-code comedy with a few musical numbers thrown in for good measure. It was the era of Astaire and Rogers at RKO, and in their other musicals, RKO attempted to give them the gloss of the popular dance team. This relatively short film (just over an hour) was a major disaster in its day according to “The Hollywood Musical”, but seen today, it is fairly fun, campy, and a passable timefiller. There is nothing remarkable in the songs or numbers (except one production number, “South Sea Bolero”), and the romantic leads (Sidney Fox and Sidney Blackmer) are uninteresting. The character parts, however, add humor, especially Spark’s grumpy ship’s captain, Boland’s dizzy queen, and Polly Moran’s butch cruise director. Throw in Sterling Holloway (the voice of Winnie the Pooh), and you have enough humor to make this an adequate second feature.

The comic moments (most notably Holloway’s rigging of a roulette table) are enjoyable, but there is a somewhat disturbing portrayal of South Sea Islanders as lazy folks who do nothing but make love all day. There was plenty of eye-raising and “I can’t believe they said that!” among my friends whom I watched this with, but just another example of what Hollywood “used” to be like. I view it as an interesting idea with tacky elements thrown in that make this film a product of its times.

29f7c043f76a2bde437fd0d52a185152

Synopsis:

A screen adaptation of William Shakespeare’s tragedy.
The somber Elsinore Castle that keeps secrets of many a crime is looming over the rocky coastline. Prince Hamlet once again puts the question: “To be, or not to be?” He is the first thinker in the line of warriors, a poet and a philosopher, a character so close to future generations. In the utterly corrupted kingdom, a lone hero is bound to take up arms to avenge his father’s death. This film became a champion among Lenfilm Studio’s prize-winning motion pictures – 23 awards in four years. The musical score was written by the great Russian composer Dmitry Shostakovich.

Part 1:




Part 2:





Review:

Arguably the finest screen Hamlet of all time, even though the language barrier does somewhat moot comparisons between Smoktunovsky and Olivier, Kozintsev’s film won a special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival and, in 1967, was nominated for a Best Foreign Picture Golden Globe. By no means a “filmed play,” Kozintsev’s HAMLET is profoundly cinematic; it is also swept clean of Freudian accoutrements and treated with somber fervor closer to Orson Welles’ Macbeth. Boris Pasternak’s modern-language translation is used for the dialogue. The tradition of the “active” (read: dissident) HAMLET, with his fixation on the imprisonment motif, would culminate 15 years later at the Taganka Theater, when national folk-singing icon Vladimir Vysotsky (see BRIEF ENCOUNTERS) displaced Smoktunovsky as the ultimate Russian embodiment of the part.
— www.seagullfilms.com

Featuring a positive hero (predictably, the ‘Now might I do it pat’ soliloquy of prevarication has been cut), the action unfolds between shots of lowering rocks and turbulent seas, with Hamlet pattering through a very tangible Elsinore of massive portcullises, stone walls, endless corridors and chunky oaken furniture. A little monolithic in theory, but it works magnificently because Kozintsev has thought his interpretation right through to the end with complete consistency, and gives the film a genuinely exciting epic sweep. What one remembers, though, is the superb marginal detail: the appearance of the Ghost on the battlements, vast black cloak billowing in the wind, like a Titan striding across the sea; the dying Polonius pulling down the arras to reveal row upon row of tailor’s dummies in Gertrude’s wardrobe; above all, the wonderfully moving conception of Ophelia as a frail blonde marionette, first seen jerked into motion by the tinkling music of a cembalo at her dancing lesson, and gradually becoming the helpless plaything of court politics. There’s a genuine cinematic imagination at work here.

Marianne (Liv Ullmann) and Johan (Erland Josephson) always seemed like the perfect couple. But when Johan suddenly leaves Marianne for another woman, they are forced to confront the disintegration of their marriage. Shot in intense, intimate close-ups by master cinematographer Sven Nykvist, the film chronicles ten years of turmoil and love that bind the couple despite their divorce and subsequent marriages. Flawless acting and dialogue portray the brutal pain and uplifting peace that accompany a lifetime of loving. Originally conceived as a six-part miniseries for Swedish television, The Criterion Collection is proud to present not only the U.S. theatrical version, but also, for the first time on video in the U.S., Ingmar Bergman’s original 5-hour television version of Scenes From a Marriage.

Industrial Soundtrack for the Urban Decay traces the development of one of music’s most quietly influential genres from the post-industrial cities of Europe to America’s avant-garde scene, and features contributions from members of pioneering outfits : Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, NON, SPK, Test Dept, Clock DVA, Re/Search – V Vale, Z’EV, Click Click, Sordide Sentimental, Hula, The Klinik, Ant-Zen, Orphx, In The Nursery and Prima Linea.

Industrial music emerged in the mid 70’s, providing a vibrant, provocative and artistic soundtrack to the picket lines, economic decline and cultural oppression of the era. Whether factory workers, students or unemployed, industrial music pioneers were all educated, artistically minded and politically aware artists who started with little to no musical background and went on to change musical history.

Industrial musicians found inspiration in Krautrock bands Kraftwerk, Faust and Can, 20th century art movements Dada, Futurism and Surrealism and post-modern writers William Burroughs, Brion Gysin and J.G. Ballard. Combining the do-it-yourself attitude of punk with mail art and underground fanzines, these pioneers were also among the first bands to incorporate tape loops, homemade synthesisers, factory field recordings and cut-up techniques in their music.

road movie in which a racist skinhead is stuck in a car with a  black guy
by german feminist film maker Helke Sander

“Schwarz, weiß, doof!” – Mit diesem Spruch sagt die vorlaute Göre Jenny, was sie von ihren beiden ungewollten Mitreisenden hält. Einer davon ist der Skinhead “Dazlak”. Jenny las ihn vom Strassengraben auf, nachdem er sein Auto gegen einen Baum gesetzt hatte. zum “Dank” kotzt die Glatze den Rolls Royce ihres Chefs voll und demoliert die Scheinwerfer. Ein übler Zeitgenosse, jedenfalls auf den ersten Blick und für Leute, die sich selbst für “etwas Besseres” halten.
Unterwegs verstaut Jenny noch den farbigen Anhalter Kola auf dem Rücksitz, der sich in seiner Haut nicht gerade wohl fühlt neben dem vermeintlichen “Ausländerhasser”.
Genügend Sprengstoff also für eine turbulente Reise, die 24 Stunden später für Überraschungen sorgt und so manches Missverständnis korrigiert…

“Dazlak” ist einmalig. Dieser Film ist für seine Zeit etwas Außergewöhnliches. Noch nie habe ich einen Streifen gesehen, der mit dem Thema Skinhead so offen und leicht umgeht wie “Dazlak”. Vorurteile werden hergenommen, um den Zuschauer sehr direkt den Spiegel vorzuhalten. Dialoge wie Jenny: “Du sprichst ziemlich gut deutsch.” Kola: “Das ist normal in Wiesbaden.” sind immer wieder zu finden. Der Kleinbürger kriegt hier sein Fett weg, der Punk auch, sogar die Skinheads selbst. Denn “Dazlak” wird keineswegs smart dargestellt. Oberflächlich ist er. Brutal, engstirnig und einfach dumpf, wie viele Skinheads – egal welcher Couleur – es nun mal leider viel zu oft sind. Er hat seine Probleme und das merkt man. Doch es schimmert immer wieder durch, daß in ihm etwas schlummert, was entdeckt werden will. Und das scheint Jenny immer mehr zu schaffen im Laufe des Films.

Plot :
In 1159, during an attempted coup, one of the court’s ladies in waiting disguises herself as the lord’s wife, and a loyal samurai conveys her from the city. This diversion allows the royal family to escape. After the coup fails, the samurai asks his lord to let him marry the woman as his reward. The lord grants the request and then discovers she is already married to one of the ruling family’s lieges. The samurai clings to his desire, importuning her to leave her husband, then challenging the husband to release her. Although the husband stays calm and she stays faithful, the samurai remains intemperate and stubborn, with tragic consequences.
