In the Mood for Love 2000
The two highly photogenic leading actors, Tony Leung Chiu-wai (Chow Mo-wan) and Maggie Cheung Man-yuk (Su Li-zhen), play two unsuspecting people who move into neighboring apartments in a tiny Shanghainese enclave of Hong Kong in 1962. It isn’t long before they each realize that both of their spouses are often away on business trips a lot at the same time and come to the realization that they are having an affair. Searching for the reasons why and how it happened, Chow and Su begin a relationship of their own, acting out possible scenarios of the beginnings of their adulterous spouses’ clandestine affair, but never taking it to the next level. “We’ll never be like them,” they promise each other. Even when they get a hotel room together it isn’t for prurient reasons, but to work on a martial arts serial that Chow has begun writing for his newspaper, to continue their fleshing out of the affair and to work through their own guilt and shame. Perhaps, inevitably, all of this closeness brings them to the brink of doing the very thing they have been condemning their spouses for, however, and their flirtation with adultery and the gossip that it brings begins to become too much for the pair to bear.

Beau-pere / Stepfather (1981) Blu-Ray

by movieworld on April 26th, 2020 at 11:33
Posted In: .Other movies, Comedy, Drama, Romance

Stepfather 1981
Bertrand Blier's Beau Pere nicely conveys the director's thematic interest in the hold women have over men. When 14-year-old Marion's (Ariel Besse) mother dies in an automobile accident, she makes a concerted effort to continue living with and to seduce Remi (Patrick Dewaere), her mother's 30-year-old boyfriend. If this story line sounds at first like an exotic soap opera, be advised that it turns into something quite different.

Blier does a remarkable job presenting the ways in which men prove to be pawns in the chess game of love. Ariel Besse's multileveled performance as the child nymph is especially intriguing when placed alongside Dewaere's vulnerability as Remi. Similar to The Woman Next Door, this film contains a surprise ending.

Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964) Blu-Ray Eureka – Masters of Cinema

Posted In: .Other movies, Crime, Drama, Mystery, Thriller

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte 1964
1964. Charlottte Hollis (Bette Davis) has lived for almost forty years as a recluse in her father's Louisiana mansion. In 1927, she was the leading suspect in the beheading murder of her lover John Mayhew (Bruce Dern), a married man. Now road builders want Charlotte out of the house and Charlotte's 'poor relation' cousin Miriam Deering (Olivia de Havilland) and doctor/friend Drew Bayliss (Joseph Cotten) have come to try to get her to surrender the property without more embarrassing scenes. But Charlotte is experiencing weird hallucinations that focus on the legendary crime; and most of the parish already thinks she's insane.

The follow-up to "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" not only casts Davis once again as a shrieking, half-mad grotesque, but brings back Victor Buono too (as Charlotte’s domineering father in the prologue).

Destry Rides Again (1939) Blu-Ray Criterion Collection, DVD9

Destry Rides Again (1939) DVD9
Marlene Dietrich and James Stewart ride high in this superb comedic western, both a boisterous spoof and a shining example of its genre.

The film is set in the lawless western town of Bottleneck where the well-connected criminal Kent (Brian Donlevy) calls all the shots. The only person that dares to question his authority is Sheriff Keog (Joe King), which is why eventually he ends up with a bullet in his head. With Kent's blessing, the town's mayor then quickly appoints the popular drunkard Wash (Charles Winninger) to fill the vacancy and life returns to normal.

But Wash surprises everyone and shortly after welcomes in town Tom Destry Jr. (Jimmy Stewart), the son of a famous lawman he had once befriended, and appoints him deputy. Destry quickly figures out that Kent has the mayor and everyone else with some meaningful authority in town on a tight leash and then proceeds to find out the details behind Sheriff Keog's 'mysterious death'. While working on the case, Destry gradually warms up to the town's most popular beauty, saloon performer Frenchy (Marlene Dietrich), who is also in an open relationship with Kent.

Comedian Harmonists / The Harmonists (1997) Blu-Ray

by movieworld on April 25th, 2020 at 12:55
Posted In: .Other movies, Biography, Drama, Musical, Romance

Comedian Harmonists 1997
"The Harmonists" tells the story of the rise and fall of a vocal group that was wildly popular in Germany before it was disbanded in 1934 as part of the mounting persecution of Jews. The Comedian Harmonists, who did comic and romantic songs in intricate harmony, were popular and beloved. Even members of the Nazi hierarchy were among their fans. But eventually they were forbidden to sing songs by Jewish composers--and finally, because three of their members were Jewish, they were banned from performing in public.

This German film, based on the true story of this legendary vocal ensemble, shows how politics colors everything: no creative soul can ever be apolitical. Joseph Vilsmaier, director of the excellent 'Stalingrad', has crafted a very entertaining film in this at times funny, joyous and very moving picture.
All the songs performed in the film are digitally remastered original recordings of the Comedian Harmonists.

Director: Joseph Vilsmaier
Cast: Ben Becker, Heino Ferch, Ulrich Noethen, Max Tidof
Country: Germany, Austria
Genre: Biography, Drama, Music
