Suna no Onna (Woman in the Dunes) 1. Suna no Onna (Woman in the Dunes) Unrated 5.0 Stars
This high tension, mysterious, haunting and even erotic Japanese movie from 1964 is in my book the most perfect movie ever made. The imagery is utterly beautiful and captivating. It is a reflection on Zen philosophy that makes U wonder about the meaning of life. People who like reading Sartre, Camus or Kafka will adore this.
3-Iron (Bin-jip) (Empty Houses) 2. 3-Iron (Bin-jip) (Empty Houses) R 5.0 Stars
Bin Jip (Empty House in Korean) is a timeless classic and certainly one of the 5 best movies ever made. Kim Ki Duk again uses a spiritual theme, this time Metaphysics. The movie can be interpreted in multiple ways. Is it a daydream, if so of which character or did it really happen or is it part dream / part reality? Apart from the unique story, the acting is amazing (the actors never speak but yet carry so much emotion) and the photography eye dropping. Add to that a wonderful soundtrack of Natasha Atlas and U have a highlight in cinematic history. Apart from a very philosophical film, this is one of the most touching love stories ever made.
Dolls 3. Dolls Unrated 5.0 Stars
Takeshi Kitano is one of the most important contemporary directors, this is by far his best movie and one of the finest ever made. It's a Minimal love tale in 3 parts , visually stunning, emotional and filled with symbolic colours and symbols. Kitano also uses seasonal change during the 3 stories as a metaphor (a relationship starting in spring and ending in the wintersnow). This perfect work of art is a must see for anyone who loves cinema.
Nabbeun namja (Bad Guy) 4. Nabbeun namja (Bad Guy) Unrated 5.0 Stars
Kim Ki Duk's Bad Guy is a brilliant study of vanity, sexual obsession and moral. It tells the story of a pimp (Han-Ki) who forces a girl into prostitution out of revenge. Bad guy is dark, extremely emotional, violent and forces us to think. Many parts of the movie can be interpreted as a dreamlike, wish-fulfillment fantasy from the viewpoint of Han-Ki. The movie leaves many questions. Why does the pimp never speak? Why the voyeurism? Are Han-Ki's emotions hate or love and pain? What do the torn photo's mean? And the girl dressed in red, is it the heroine in the future (Karma) or is it someone from the past (Han-Ki's ex?)? There is always more under the surface than it seems with Kim Ki Duk's movies, this movie demands multiple views to understand how brilliant it is. Watching Bad Guy is like entering an emotional roller coaster. It challenges all conventional ideas we have about love. Watch it with an open mind and U will have a very powerful experience.
All About Lily Chou-Chou (Riri Shushu no subete) 5. All About Lily Chou-Chou (Riri Shushu no subete) Unrated 5.0 Stars
Words can't describe how much I adore Shunji Iwai's masterwork. Never have I seen a movie depict the lif of teenagers with more realism. The movie also handles the theme of pop idol adoration and features one of the best soundtracks ever (yes with music from Lily Chou Chou who is a real artist, in fact Tarantino was so imressed by this movie that he asked Lily Chou Chou to make a soundtrack for Kill Bill). One of the loveliest movies ever made.
Zui hao de shi guang (Three Times) 6. Zui hao de shi guang (Three Times) Unrated 5.0 Stars
Taiwan's Hou Hsiao-Hsien's minimal masterpiece. Qi Shu and Chen Chang play 3 different roles in 3 tales about love. Very little dialog, virtually no plot and marvelous long shots, this is cinema in it's purest form, this is art, this is Hsien. Elected as best movie of 2006 by Belgian film critics, I couldn't agree more.

    Annie Hall Annie Hall
    4.0 Stars by Veronique
    the overwhelming success of 1977 "annie hall" proves the functional caliber of a creative script as well as its charismatic cast despite woody allen's relentless egoism on sex and new yorker permeates imperiously all over the flick.

    basically the neurotic characteristics of woody allen are from time to time quite abrasive, a self-indulgent 40 year-old man who still preserves the issue of commitment-phobia and meanwhile quite possessively suppressive to his girlfriend. it is wondrous that how come he could get tangled with a fair young lad like diane keaton in her prime youth? (it's not hard to comprehend, woody writes the script to flatter himself.)

    woody allen's flicks are mostly about new yorkers, and he takes great pride in the decadent eccentricity of new yorkers, such as he has to purchase the books with the dreary title of "death" and he would rather wait in line for hours to watch "sweet and sorrow" which he has seen for a dozen times just becuz he misses two mins of an upcoming new movie. he's mercilessly critical and domineeringly interfering with a rolling stone magzine his girlfriend's reading. naggy, grauchy and relentlessly opinionated, such as his comment for california: their neighborhood looks so clean becuz they put their garbage into their sit-coms.(that's classic.)

    the fashion phenomenon would definitely be diane keatean's woman suit, absolutely edgy but also alternatively feminine even encapsulated with adrogyny. keaton has never been as appealing as annie hall, of course, all the subject matters discussed in the flick is trivial and culturally reflective over the 70s when blockbusters start to fledge with "star wars". it is refreshing for woman to appear feminine under such avarde-gardist pastiche.

    the best merit of "annie hall" would probably be its dialogue-driven trait, and it's quite naturalistic without much involvement with the technical level, frequently dubbed with a sense of postmodernist theater of absurdity: two arguing over a petite issue and another jumps out of the conversation to directly talk to the audience outside the silver screen. such style is freewheeling but easy to flop if you don't have enough fodders of thoughts intermingled with wits in the script.

    the mere drawback would possibly be woody allen's egocentric poise since it's a flick about the alterego of woody allen, an anemic jew who wanna be a don-quixotesque casanova romancing attractive women whom he desires to possess but reluctant to give away himself to any of them, a man who is eloquent and intelligent enough to patronize all his tragic flaws and junvenile lingerings but inevitably such egocentric attitude is poisonous to relationship, so alvy singer is doomed to lose annie hall, the love of his life.
    young diane keaton was much prettier than i expected, and that woman suit is absolutely cool!

    woody allen would probably be one of the few dialogue-driven filmmakers existed in contemporary cinema. whether you agree with woody's philosophy of life as new yorker or his biased gender ethics, but "annie hall" definitely has enough substance within its conversations to be an intriguing flick despite you cannot help but be judgemental to its male-centered viewpoints.

    Die Geduld der Rosa Luxemburg Die Geduld der Rosa Luxemburg
    3.5 Stars by Sancar
    Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919)




    German revolutionary leader, journalist, and socialist theorist, who was killed in Berlin in 1919 during the German revolution. Rosa Luxemburg saw herself as a citizen of the proletariat. She lived the international life of a Socialist 'pilgrim', believing that only socialism could bring true freedom and social justice. Luxemburg was the advocate of mass action, spontaneity, and workers democracy, but her criticism of the "revisionists" and their ideological leader Edward Bernstein is considered her most important legacy to European political thought.
    "Bourgeois class domination is undoubtedly an historical necessity, but, so too, the rising of the working class against it. Capital is an historical necessity, but, so too, its grave digger, the socialist proletariat." (from 'The Junius Pamphlet', 1916)

    Rosa Luxemburg was born in Zamosc, in Russian Poland, into a Jewish middle-class family. At the age of five she became seriously ill. After recovering she walked with a limp; sciatic pain caused her much trouble for her whole life. Luxemburg was educated at the Warsaw Gimnazium. From the age of 16 she participated in revolutionary activities. during these years her favorite writer was the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz, whose patriotism and life in political exile influenced her deeply. In 1889 Luxemburg moved to Switzerland to continue her studies. But she was also partly forced to flee from her home country because of her political activities.

    Luxemburg entered the University of Zürich, where she studied natural sciences and political economy. In 1892 she changed to the faculty of law. Two years later she researched at the major Polish library in Paris. She started her career as a journalist and became one of the leaders of the Social Democratic Party of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania. In 1898 Luxemburg completed her doctorate. The dissertation was entitled The Industrial Development of Poland. Between the years 1892 and 1919 Luxemburg produced almost 700 articles, pamphlets, speeches, and books.

    In 1899 appeared Luxemburg's Reform or Revolution, her defense of Marxism. It opposed Edward Bernstein's reformist position and criticized Bernstein's revisionist theories in Evolutionary Socialism (1898). Bernstein had published also in Neue Zeit a series of articles, in which he had attempted to disprove some of the basic doctrines of Marxism. He rejected Marx's theories of class struggle and concluded that revolution was unnecessary. Luxemburg believed that her work would make the "old guard" of the German Social Democratic Party (SPD) to view her as a serious political thinker and leader. "Since the final goal of socialism constitutes the only decisive factor distinguishing the social democratic movement from bourgeois democracy and from bourgeois radicalism, the only factor transforming the entire labor movement from a vain effort to repair the capitalist order into a class struggle against this order, for the suppression of this order - the question: "Reform or revolution?" as it is posed by Bernstein, equals for the social democracy the question: "The be or not to be?" In the controversy with Bernstein and his followers, everybody in the party ought to understand clearly it is not a question of this or that method of struggle, or the use of this or that set of tactics, but the of the very existence of the social democratic movement." (from Reform or Revolution)

    To obtain German citizen, Luxemburg married Gustav Lübeck, the youngest son of her friend. Luxemburg became in 1898 a leader of the left wing of the SPD and participated in the second International and in the 1905 revolution in Russian Poland. After insulting the Kaiser, she spend in 1904 a short period in prison in Zwickau. In the same year Luxemburg also drafted SDKPL (Social Democracy of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania) party programe What Do We Want?

    During the 1905 Russian Revolution she developed the idea that socialism is a revolutionary process which transforms political and economic relations towards ever greater democratic control by the workers themselves. In 1906 she was arrested in Warsaw but released finally on health grounds. She returned to Germany where she taught at SPD party school in Berlin until 1914 and developed ideas about general strike as a political weapon. In 1912 appeared her major theoretical work, The Accumulation of Capital, in which she tried to prove that capitalism was doomed and would inevitably collapse on economic grounds. After differences with moderate German socialists, she founded with Karl Liebknecht the radical Spartacus League in 1916. She also drafted the Spartacists programme Leitsätze. Two years later the organization became the German Communist Party.

    During World War I Luxemburg spent long times in prison, writing her Spartakusbriefe and Die Russisce Revolution, where she welcomed the October Revolution as a precursor of world revolution. In 'The Junius Pamphlet' (1916), written under the pseudonym of Junius, she argued that the choice of Socialism or Barbarism is a world-historical turning point which demands resolute action by the proletariat.

    However, Luxemburg participated reluctantly in the Spartacist uprising in Berlin against the government. The uprising, which failed, was a defining moment among others for Adolf Hitler. Luxemburg and Liebknecht were arrested in 1919. While being transported to prison, she and Liebknecht were murdered on the night of 15/16 on January 1919 by German Freikorps soldiers. Luxemburg's body was thrown into the Landwehr canal and found on May. She was buried on June 13 in Friedrichsfeld cemetery, where the graves of Liebknecht and the other killed revolutionaries situated. Her burial became a mass demonstration, witnessed by a number of correspondents, including the American screenwriter Ben Hecht.

    Luxemburg's lover Leo Jogiches was murdered in 1919. However, their affair had already ended in 1906 - Leo had gone too far in his infidelity. Just before his death, he had decided with Clara Zetkin and Mathild Jacob to publish Luxemburg's collected works. The project proceeded slowly because at that time Lenin's critical opinions of Luxemburg's thought were not easy to ignore. Lenin saw that she underestimated nationalist ideology, underrated the role of the Communist party, and emphasized to much the power of the mass action. Luxemburg was critical about Lenin's acceptance of the idea of national self-determination. In 'Organisationsfragen der russischen Sozialdemokraten' (1904) she criticized his theory of revolutionary vanguard centralism. Luxemburg argued that there could be no real socialism without democracy. Later Stalinist study was not very happy about her - her unorthodoxy was nearly as dangerous as Trotsky's. Luxemburg's collected works did not appear until 1970-75 in DDR.
    "The list of people with whom Simone Weil was politically associated reads like an almanac of the French Left. Thévenon, Guérin, Battaille, Serret. Simone saw in Rosa Luxemburg (d. 1919) a kindred soul. 'Her life, her work, her letters affirm life and not death,' wrote Simone. 'Rosa aspired to action, not to sacrifice. In this sense, there is nothing Christian in her temperament.'" (from The Left Hand of God by Adolf Holl, 1997)

    Thoroughful reevaluation of Luxemburg's work started in Germany in the 1970s. Her theories were considered as an alternative to Communism or Social Democracy. When Marxist study lost its attraction in the 1980s, Luxemburg arose still interest among feminist theorist. Luxemburg herself did not participate into women's rights movement; women's liberation was for her part of the liberation from the oppression of capitalism. However, she saw that socialist emancipation is incomplete without women's emancipation. Raya Dunayevskaya argues in her study Rosa Luxemburg, Women's Liberation, and Marx's Philosophy of Revolution (1981) that Luxemburg's years after the break-up with her lover Leo Jogiches were not "lost years," as J.P. Nettl presents in his large biography (1966). Dunayevskaya documents Luxemburg's myriad activities and theoretical work including Mass Strike. In the 1980s Margareta von Trotta's film Rosa Luxemburg (1986), starring Barbara Sukowa, gained commercial success. The film was partly based on Annelies Laschitza's studies. However, feminist critic objected Trotta's conventional (melo)dramatic narration.

    Paris Paris
    2.0 Stars by Sancar
    I liked. Nice to see Paris again. Several stories in a film. Kids and lovers. I love it. I prefer Paris Je t'aime, but this is also nice. Several aspects in Paris.

    Pierre (Romain Duris) is een professionele danser in Parijs. Wanneer hij te horen krijgt dat hij te kampen heeft met een ernstige hartkwaal die hem mogelijk fataal kan worden, is hij genoodzaakt te stoppen met dansen. Het leven van Pierre neemt hierdoor een radicale wending en aan zijn wervelende leven komt abrupt een einde. Plotseling ziet hij zaken heel anders dan voorheen. Hij sluit zichzelf op in zijn appartement en beziet de wereld vanaf zijn balkon, hoog boven de stad. Parijs, de stad die hij zo liefheeft, krijgt een heel ander gezicht, evenals de mensen die hem omringen. Zoals zijn zus, de alleenstaande moeder Elise (Juliette Binoche) bij wie hij steun zoekt. Terwijl Pierre stilstaat bij zijn leven trekken andere levens aan hem voorbij met al hun dagelijkse beslommeringen die zijn eigen relaas in het juiste perspectief plaatsen.

    Met Pierre letterlijk als het hart van het verhaal weeft Cedric Klapisch een boeiend web van vrienden, kennissen en bekenden die ergens wel met elkaar te maken hebben zoals dat in een normaal sociaal netwerk gangbaar is. Daarin huist het gevaar dat Klapisch te veel wil vertellen en een overdaad aan karakters de revue laat passeren. Het enige echte houvast bestaat in Pierre en Elise, die de rode draad vormen.

    Zoals de titel doet vermoeden speelt de stad Parijs een belangrijke rol. Met een sprekende setting maakt Klapisch smaakvol gebruik van bekende en herkenbare punten als de begrafenis Père Lachaise, Montmartre's Sacre-Coeur en uiteraard de Eiffel Toren. Daarbij laat hij zijn karakters bewegen in nostalgisch en neoromantisch beeld van Parijs, vol kleine ambachtelijke winkeltjes en markten, waarbij modernismen naar de zijlijn verdwijnen. De cameravoering van Christopher Beaucarne speelt daar mooi op in door de contrasten van de wereldstad te belichten zonder dat het een toeristische rondrit door Parijs wordt. Evenals in de portmanteau film Paris je t?aime uit 2006 vormt de stad een karakter dat in dit geval in zijn levendigheid haaks staat op de ingetogenheid die Pierre zich moet aanmeten. De dynamiek van de stad is immers te veel voor zijn hart maar blijkbaar ook voor de mensen die hem omringen. Ze zijn lang niet allemaal gelukkig en rapen de brokstukken van hun leven en slijten de dagen doorgaans alleen en zelfs in eenzaamheid. Naargeestig wordt het niet. Klapisch injecteert drama, romantiek en luchtige, soms bitterzoete humor in de juiste hoeveelheden zonder dat hij vervalt tot melodrama.

    In Frankrijk was Paris al een groot succes. Niet vreemd, Cedric Klapisch is immers een regisseur van naam, sluit met zijn films aan in de wereldstedelijke geest van Parijs en met Duris en Binoche op de titelrol heb je al een aardige trekpleister in huis. Voor Duris en Binoche geldt dat zij ook nu weer de nobele status als toppers in hun ambacht waarmaken.
    If u like Paris, kids, love, kissing, nice ladies. Don't miss it. Specially Juliette Binoche fans.

    The Private Life of Henry VIII The Private Life of Henry VIII
    4.0 Stars by Veronique
    "private life of henry viii" is the academy award winner for best actor for non-american actor, charles laughton, in a non-american movie, helmed by british epic piece director alexander korda. it also has the young fresh-faced robert donat (alfred hitchcock's 39 steps star) who transcends a smoldering stroke of romanticism as the doomed lover of the queen. inevitably this flick centers upon henry viii, the lecherously obese man who constantly seeks a potential light of happiness even at cost of decapitating two women and recklessly raging notoriety, but the flick is keen to maintain a delightful tone to emphasize henry's naughty whims instead of his egoistic brutality, brightened by laughton's jolly likability.

    the story skips the first wife of henry viii, the stingy square katherine, and the scene catapults the beheading of anne boleyn (mother of queen elizabeth) on the king's wedding night...it shows the fickle nature of this man who eliminates any emulating spouse of his, and he even rejoices "if you want to be happy, marry a stupid beautiful woman like my new wife" like a little boy who exults at getting a new toy while he's disposing of his old obsolete one.

    it has two scenes during two executions which bare the cynical reaction of the mass as well as the dialogues in the kitchen. the king's indignantly motivated to get married for two of the 6 times just by the barber's careless criticism, and his infamous one-night marriage with the german princess(elsa lancaster) who purposedly infuriates him by cheating in the poker games. it depicts henry viii more in a mischieviously boyish perspect, and he truly sheds the tear of genuine sorrow for his fifth wife, katherine howard, who commits adultery with his confidante thomas culperer(robert donat). eventually henry settles with a homely wife who conducts himself to the smallest detail of food, but he remarks "the best's also the worst" to the last marriage of his life.

    "the private life of henry viii" sneers at the man with a forgiving generosity, mocking at his easily influenced temperament as well as his naivety to the prospect of love. charles laughton's charisma is crucial to the success of it since only laughton could dub this polygamic king a redeeming sense of clever wits.
    only if you're interested in british history and charles laughton, you would like this flick...if you don't care for history and you don't care for the ancient aristocrats or you're not familiar with who charles laughton (new-generation movie audience), you could skip it and amuse yourself with something contemporary.

    personally i find it wondrous for a king to get married for 6 times and leave a poisonous mess to his country with the uncertainty of heirs from different queens, then england sinks into the religious prosecutions. that fascinates me. and ann boleyn has 6 fingers in reality.

    if none of those things interests you, you could spare yourself from the non-associated boredom.

    Phenomena (Creepers) Phenomena (Creepers)
    4.0 Stars by Eduardo
    I can't understand why some fans hate this movie when is one of the most solid pieces from the master Argento.

    In the same spirit of Suspiria and Inferno, one more time the giallo adopt sobrenatural elements and works very well to understand the convulsed plot.

    Is true that the film is too paced in some parts, but if you have a great performance from the very young Jennifer Connely, with the power of manipulate insects, the pressence of Donald Pleasence, a crazy monkey (lol), the soundtrack of Gobling (and Heavy Metal themes) and grossy murdereds, you can't be wrong.

    This is another dark fairy tale and maybe the last great work from Dario Argento.
