chez elles

A Taiwanese lesbian drama film. Pretty original and simple as well. More about a platonic love that finds a lot of obstacles to happen, so those looking for girl on girl action, will most likely be disappointed. Not that great, but I liked it a lot.

Søndagsengler (The Other Side of Sunday), but not that great. Lost and Delirious, but not that tragic. Love Sick (Legaturi bolnavicioase), but not that complex. Also, a little bit of Loving Annabelle and all the movie it has behind.

A women's religious seminary. A silly (or dumb) and an apparently nice (that later turns out against them) roommates. A good, intelligent and religious daughter of an ultra orthodox rabbi and a cool and rebel rich (that obviously smokes!) girl that comes from France. They get close and end up falling in love. The religious one becomes "openly" and her faith begins to change. The cool girl turns out to be the most traditional as possible.

Don´t ask me how the girl that had to beg her father to allow her one year to study and not get married, suddenly decides she won´t get marry and rent an appartment in downtown. With which money once she doesn´t work? Maybe she got an inehitance, yeah. Things that we see only in movies...
Well, well, but it´s always a plasure to watch Fanny Ardant, beautiful as ever.

The typical beautiful, sexy and mean teenager girl that all boys want to sleep with and that girls hate for being a bitchy.

A beautiful skinny kid look-a-like outsider girl and her dumb and over weight (of course!) friend. The "friendship redemption" at the end. The swimming-pool first representing unbreathing situations, always enclosed into the fake and hard world of the synchronized swimming, turns out to bring some relief at the end of the film, showed in all its large extension for the first time . Marie washing her mouth in the swimming-pool afetr kissing Floriane was one of the strongest and significative scenes.



All the expected, but pretty good as well. Fucking Åmål (which I think it´s superior) without parents intervention, judgements and a "happy" end.

This is an erotic documentary that got a few awards in the Melbourne Underground Film Festival and that shows in a sweet and very erotic way the love between two common women - common in the meanning of not being like The L Word´s characters, for example, what is a positive point of reality. For what I read, it was very well acclaimed, but it just didn´t work for me. I didn´t like it and it didn´t really touch me.

Filmically speaking, this movie is terrible: bad music, some very bad acting, the gay friend cliché, etc. It seems a homemade film, but you can feel it was made with passion. Also it´s easy to be connected with the characters and the daughters´reaction is very realistic.











The good or the bad: if you are in a bad emotional state, it can make you want to fall in love again.

This is a movie I didn´t expect anything from and that´s why it took me so long to decide to watch it. Much more than a queen drama, it´s a revised noir where, instead of the man figure, a woman falls in love and plots with the femme fatale.











Definitely the perfect crime!

Not bad, but not that good. It has a stunning, sensual and (at the same time) simple visual beauty, but the storyline is kinda predictable and cheesy.

A enjoyable and sensual watching with visible fake blood, some exaggerated interpretation and all the kitsch a B movie type can offer.
Different from what you would expect of any vampyre movie, in Vampyros Lesbos most scenes are in a sunny and paradisiac outside and the plot is insteresting, playing with "reality" and imagination.


*Soledad Miranda was terrific beautiful.

If the subject is pianists, women, desire, passion and madness, I choose (and recommend) La tourneuse de pages aka The Page Turner.
