Cyril Schäublin – Dene wos guet geit AKA Those Who Are Fine (2017)

$
0
0

In a suburb of Zurich, Alice is working at a call centre and very successful at selling internet subscriptions and insurance. She also uses her powers of persuasion to criminal ends: she cajoles and robs solitary grandmothers by telling them she is their granddaughter and urgently needs money. In no time she makes herself a small fortune but, without knowing it, her actions influence the lives of countless local people, from bank staff and police officers to unsuspecting passers-by.Those Who Are Fine records from a distance the havoc Alice causes in Zurich. At the same time, mainly using intelligent observations and absurdist dialogues in his debut, Cyril Schäublin also sketches an ironic portrait of today’s Swiss society in which everyone is glued to their smartphone, strangers are asked if they can set up a wifi hotspot and identity fraud has become child’s play, thanks to social media.

Reviewers on IMDB wrote:
Okay, this movie is a cheap Saturday matinée type film from the 1950’s, but heck, that is all it is meant to be. It is one of those silly Arabian nights movies that is fun to watch. I wish it were released on DVD, as I would gladly buy it. As a child, I liked this movie when I saw in on television, and just recently saw it again and still like it. Runs in the family as those 1950 Universal Studio Tony Curtis “Son Of Ali Baba” type films and “Son Of Sinbad” with Vincent Price. These movies may not be great in any sense of the word, but they sure are fun to watch one right after the other when there is nothing else to do!! And besides, like my summary said, where else can you find a film that has Lucy Ricardo, Perry Mason and Abner Kravitz in it??

This low budget adventure stars John Agar, Raymond Burr of TV’s Perry Mason, and a very pregnant Lucille Ball The poor production values used to make this movie give it the look of a Technicolor, Three Stooges episode. It’s really too bad I would have enjoyed a good Arabian Adventure, starring Lucille Ball!

THE MAGIC CARPET is notorious for one thing only: it was the movie that divided Lucille Ball’s acting career neatly in two, for from here on she would be pioneering the Age of Television as Lucy Ricardo in “I Love Lucy”, a show which over half a century after its release has been seen in practically every country in the world and has garnered her more notoriety than any meaty role, and more satisfaction that winning that golden statuette. However, at the time, she was taking a major risk which could become a hit or backfire miserably and Ball wasn’t a particularly optimistic person, having toiled hard to crack the ceiling of her B-movie status. Pushing forty, completely washed up as a film actress as her talents had been ignored from every major studio, pregnant with daughter Lucie, struggling to make her marriage to Desi Arnaz work, she had read the message on the wall. It was best to be done with this mess and move on. Move on she did, and once she completed this poor excuse of an Arabian adventure, her foundling of a show shot to the top of the Nielsen ratings and made television history.

Lucille Ball didn’t have to do THE MAGIC CARPET and chose to make it just to finish off her contract with Columbia and move onto her planned new TV show, and we all know the result of THAT. Columbia did not believe that Ball would accept the role in this film, but she outfoxed them all and played the villainess in this Arabian Nights-type fun film. I saw it initially when it was first released, and I LOVE LUCY was already a smash hit on the tube. It was the second half of a double bill, and the audience enjoyed every minute. It was an unintentional(??) riot to see Ball so out of the character that we had come to expect already from LUCY. The SRO audience hooted, laughed, giggled, and had a great time. I don’t even recall what the main feature was…. But THE MAGIC CARPET is still remembered, and I would love to find a copy.

Doctor Rainville, an old country doctor who has a deep attachment to his patients, is about to retire and is looking for a successor. Jeanne Dion, an emergency doctor from Montréal, agrees to come to Normétal to replace him for a few weeks, without considering staying any longer than necessary in the remote Quebéc village. Normétal is a town in decline whose only large employer, a mine, closed three decades ago. Life is hard there, and a doctor’s relationship with his patients is much closer than Jeanne is used to after her experience in a large hospital’s emergency ward. When the old doctor dies, Jeanne must decide whether to stay and accept a responsibility that comes with much more commitment than she had planned on.

Normétal
Normétal is located at the northwestern end of the Abitibi region, 750 km from
Montréal. Built near a copper mine that was active from the late 1930s until 1975,
the village had 2,500 residents at its peak in the 1960s. Today its population is
about 1,000.

Kazuhiro Sôda – Engeki 1 AKA Theatre 1 (2012)

What is the essence of theatre?

Theatre 1 is a feature length documentary which closely depicts the world of Oriza Hirata, Japan’s leading playwright and director, and his theatrical company, Seinendan. By depicting them, the film leads the audience to revisit fundamental but timely questions: What is theatre? Why do human beings act?

Through the fascinating spirit and creativity of Oriza Hirata, Kazuhiro Soda’s THEATRE 1 & 2 evokes a plurality of dimensions cleverly portrayed as inseparable aspects of the same problem: pedagogy vs. performance, culture vs. politics, individual creation and experiences vs. collective involvement and responsibilities. A tale of art in our time, THEATRE 1 & 2 is one of those rare and precious acts of filmmaking that delves deep into the essence of culture.
– Jérôme Baron, Artistic director, Festival des 3 Continents

Synopsis:
Contractor Luke Miller returns to the San Francisco home of his ex-wife, sculptress Valerie Hayden, after learning that their 15-year-old daughter, Dani, has been arrested for the murder of Valerie’s lover. His plane is met by lawyer Gordon Harris, who callously engineered Luke’s divorce and deprived him of the right to visit his daughter. Now, however, Harris asks Luke’s help in providing a favorable family setting for the juvenile court hearing but discourages any hopes of gaining Dani’s custody once the case is resolved. Luke’s return revives memories of his former life with Valerie and her domineering mother, Mrs. Gerald Hayden. When Luke and Valerie are married, he aspires to become an independent architect, but Mrs. Hayden forces him into a business partnership with her. Valerie, ignorant of her mother’s underhanded ways, blames Luke for being weak; his subsequent drinking problem and her adultery combine to destroy the marriage . Terrified that her mother might be awarded custody of the child, Valerie takes moral responsibility for the murder at the hearing; in addition, she blames her failure as a mother on her own sorry upbringing, a disclosure that both discredits and humiliates Mrs. Hayden. Freed at last from her mother’s domination, Valerie commits suicide, making possible a reunion between Dani and Luke.

Synopsis
Dans la salle à manger de la villa Santo Sospir à Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Jean Cocteau s’adresse à la jeunesse de l’an 2000 en philosophant sur la sienne et celle de 1962, comparant les mentalités des différentes époques. La caméra se rapproche, puis Jean Cocteau, filmé en gros plan, évoque ce que représente pour lui la poésie. Il donne sa définition du poète, «un intermédiaire, un médium de cette force mystérieuse qui l’habite», avant d’aborder plus largement le rôle de l’artiste et la notion de «génie». Il commente son besoin de peindre, la nécessité de travailler de ses mains, ce qui permet à sa tête de se reposer et se ressourcer.

Václav Marhoul – Tobruk (2008) (HD)

$
0
0

Nominated for eight Crystal Lions (the Czech Republic’s equivalent of the Oscars), and a substantial domestic hit, war film “Tobruk” reps a solid work of craftsmanship in every department. Story of a bunch of grunts who get shipped out during WWII to the North African frontline in Tobruk, Libya, doesn’t score many points for originality, but the pic tells its tale well, without sentimentality, and features vigorous, intense action sequences. In a healthier economic climate, writer-helmer Vaclav Marhoul’s sophomore feature might have flown the Czech flag in cinemas offshore, but these days its best shot is in ancillary pickups.At a training camp in Egypt, two wet-behind-the-ears recruits, baby-faced Pospichal (Jan Meduna) and gangly Jew Lieberman (Adrien Brody lookalike Petr Vanek), are assigned to an army unit led by Sergeant Borny (Martin Nahalka), and drilled by mean-tempered hard nut Corporal Kohak (Robert Nebrensky).
Pic spends a good half-hour or so introducing the rest of the characters (the usual mix of braggarts, jokers, and sensitive, doomed wallflowers) while the men get in shape and enjoy the local brothels before being sent to the front.
Once in Libya, supplies start to run thin and minds begin to frazzle as the Germans pound the line with heavy ammo. Soldiers start to fall one by one. Thinking everyone’s been killed in one engagement, Pospichal gets lost in the desert trying to make his way back to his comrades, but he’s eventually reunited with the unit and survives to participate in the pic’s climactic final scene, a tautly edited, highly suspenseful sequence that ends the story on a tragic high.
Although Marhoul (who’s helmed one previous feature, “Smart Philip,” but is better known for his thesp work) can’t resist utilizing a few war-pic cliches — like turning down the sound to mimic a character’s temporary deafness during a barrage — he deserves praise for his excellent rendering of spatial relationships. Throughout, it’s always clear where our heroes are, where the Nazis are and who’s going where or shooting in which direction. Helping auds understand such cinematic geography is an increasingly neglected art, so it’s refreshing to see such ace work here.
Tech credits are pro, especially use of old-school special effects for the fighting scenes. Cast is uniformly fine, with Vanek and Meduna repping particular standouts.

Pim de la Parra – Bezeten – Het gat in de muur AKA Obsessions (1969)

This film is interesting in that it may be the rarest and most least well known film in the oeuvre Martin Scorsese, who co-wrote the script despite the film being a German-Dutch coproduction. In other Scorsese connections, the film features a score by Bernard Herrmann. As one might have already guessed by now, Besessen – Das Loch in der Wand AKA Bezeten – Het gat in de muur AKA Obsessions AKA Possessed is a Hitchcockian thriller that would certainly interest fans of Brian De Palma due to its more ‘exploitative’ approach to the Hitch brand of filmmaking. The film also features Dutch auteur Fons Rademakers in an acting role. Paul Verhoeven also contributed to the script, though he was not credited.

Student Nils is spying on his neighbor doing kinky stuff while his girlfriend Marina, a journalist, is looking for a missing girl. Nils is getting more and more obsessed with his peeping tom activities and slowly reveals the dark secret of his neighbor.
