Srpski film / A Serbian Film (2010) Blu-Ray

A Serbian Film 2010
Milos, a stringy-haired, sad-eyed fellow who has retired from a career in pornography to spend more time with his wife, their son and a large bottle of Jack Daniel’s, is pulled back into his old profession by an offer from Vukmir, a cineaste whose perversity is matched only by his pomposity. Milos, he says, is "a Balkan sex god," the Nikola Tesla of fornication, whatever that means. Lured by a fantastic sum of money, Milos signs up for a project that Vukmir promises will produce a world-historical and uniquely Serbian work of art.
Once the shooting of Vukmir’s movie starts, however, that line is definitively transgressed, as "A Serbian Film" descends into a spectacle of increasingly cruel and gruesome sexual violence. Rape, incest, murder, torture, necrophilia — these words seem positively genteel in reference to the grisly scenes that Milos joins, mostly against his will.

2046 (2004) 2 x DVD

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance

2046 2004
Writer/director Wong Kar Wai has created a dream-like, sci-fi, period reminisce that is a most unusual semi-sequel to his lush love story, "In the Mood for Love".

Consumed by the memory of an unfortunate love affair Chow (Tony Leung) is living in a world where reality is dangerously intertwined with fiction. In a small and dusty room of a cheap Hong Kong hotel Chow is finishing the final pages of a story recalling the women encountered throughout his life. In room 2047 strangers will show up, spend the night, and disappear without a trace barely making an impression on Chow. Except for his neighbor in room 2046, a beautiful prostitute who has captivated his imagination…so much as Chow is ready to follow her in the future where people travel to regain their lost memories.

Beautifully composed, often confusing, yet gently tingling your senses Kar Wai Wong's latest film 2046 is a pleasurable journey to a mysterious world where nothing is what it seems. Populated with stunningly beautiful women, gamblers, and plenty of shady characters Chow's world is indeed the perfect setting for a film which follows anything but a rational storyline. So much that the minute you turn your eyes away from the screen you will fall victim of Kar Wai Wong's deceiving camera and fail to put together the missing pieces in this quite intriguing film.

Hammer Volume Five Death & Deceit
Charlie Largent continues with yet another four-cylinder compendium of thrillers from the prolific Hammer Films. As every Hammer/Columbia co-production that resembles in the slightest a horror film has been covered in the four volumes already released, collection number five moves on to a string of ‘Adventure!’ thrillers. The Pirates of Blood River is a familiar enough item, but The Scarlet Blade and The Brigand of Kandahar are new to Blu-ray, as is the even more obscure Visa to Canton, which stars Richard Basehart and Lisa Gastoni. This sounds like a set for devoted Hammer fans, which these days are legion. Top-lining the other three pictures are Christopher Lee, Ronald Lewis and Jack Hedley.

Wrony / The Crows (1994) DVD5

by movieworld on May 27th, 2020 at 14:56
Posted In: .Other movies, Drama

Wrony 1994
Wrony (aka Crows) 1994 gives us a stunning depiction of childhood. The movie follows a nine year-old child through one day in a gritty, open, and non-judgmental way that reminds of Ratcatcher, A Real Young Girl, and Petits Freres ... and maybe Ponette a little. The story is profoundly simpler than any of them, however; and in its simplicity it reaches deeper inside the child than any of them.

In Wrony, the central place is given to a little girl, against the background of a small town. It is a film about love, but this time about the absence of it. Wrona, the skinny and mouthy girl of a fragile build with a face of both an innocent and a scamp, kidnaps another little girl (Malenstwo) from the neighbourhood. She does so in order to find someone to love and to be loved herself.

Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Pictures Volume 2: Reefer Madness (1936), Sex Madness (1938) Blu-Ray Kino Lorber

Forbidden Fruit The Golden Age of the Exploitation Pictures Volume 2
Volume 2 presents a double-feature Reefer Madness (1936) and Sex Madness (1938). Both are exploitation films designed to warn teenagers and young adults of the dangers of becoming addicted to, respectively, marijuana cigarettes and the dangers of venereal disease.

Perhaps one of the most infamous exploitation films of all time, Louis J. Gasnier's 1936 anti-marijuana propaganda piece, Reefer Madness (aka Tell Your Children) became a midnight movie sensation in the 1960s due to its unintentionally hilarious depiction of the "dangers of marijuana." The film was designed as a warning to parents about "public enemy number one," and centers around a young man who is made to believe that he committed a murder while high on pot.

Also included on this new release from Kino Lorber is Dwain Esper's 1938 film, Sex Madness (aka Human Wreckage), a film that takes the moralistic lecturing of Reefer Madness to new heights in its crusade against extramarital sex and the scourge of gonorrhea. Featuring graphic depictions of STD wounds, and a plot about a group of teenagers whose inability to say "no" lead to life-long afflictions of venereal disease, ruining marriages and destroying their lives for one night of passion.

Opowiesci weekendowe
Polish director Krzysztof Zanussi has spent the better part of the last 50 years using movies to wrangle with the deep questions of self. In the process, he's provided a model for a generation of compatriots, including the late Krzysztof Kieslowski. But Kieslowski surpassed his mentor, creating internationally acclaimed films of astonishing resonance and philosophical subtlety, like The Decalogue and the "Three Colors" trilogy. Zanussi is held in less regard by the global cineastes who are aware of him, perhaps because his work is less stylish and nuanced than Kieslowski's. Zanussi's Weekend Stories has been compared to The Decalogue, in that both projects were produced for Polish television, and both present a series of brief narratives in which unrelated characters face spiritual crises, but Zanussi's mini-movies are merely good TV, not good cinema. The eight episodes of Weekend Stories, which aired between 1996 and 2000, take place in post-Cold War Poland, among various city dwellers who often travel to the same country house for recreation and soul-searching.

Scotland Yard jagt Dr. Mabuse 1963
The Dr Mabuse series was revived in 1960 by none other than Fritz Lang (1000 Eyes Of Dr Mabuse). A total of six were released from 1960 to 1964. This is the fifth entry. It’s based on the novel “The Device” by Bryan Edgar Wallace and is written by Ladislas Fodor and Norbert Jaques.

The evil Dr. Mabuse dies in Germany but a new doctor, Dr. Pohland (Walter Rilla), takes his place as the spirit of Mabuse lives on through him. The new Dr. Mabuse enslaves people with his stolen mind-controlling camera that makes them carry out his orders.

Dr. Mabuse uses the device to inflict a crime wave in England. It's up to Major Bill Tern (Peter van Eyck) of Scotland Yard and Hamburg Inspector Vulpius (Werner Peters) to team up and crack the case. The Major is helped by his know-it-all doddering mother Gwendolyn (Agnes Windeck), who is around for comic relief.

The Roger Lambert Anthology – Coming of Age Vol. 6: Split (1974), I Want to Be Famous (1976), Follow You Follow Me (1979), A Seaside Story (1986) DVD9

The Roger Lambert Anthology
There are a great many films out there which follow the pattern of two boys "discovering" their sexual "identity" as they realise their feelings for each other. One wonders how many of them will still be viewed fifty years from now! Fortunately, Lambert's films are a great deal subtler than this, and have grown in stature and importance as the decades have rolled by.

In "I Want to be Famous" Steve is a lonely boy, for whom school seems merely a waste of time and whose home life is little better. His parents, particularly his father, seem incapable of relating to him emotionally. He takes refuge from this hostile social environment by nurturing a violent fantasy world which he shares with fellow loner Stuart.

Lambert's next film, "Follow You Follow Me" (1979) is about two boys, Joseph and Peter, who are inseparable from each other, despite coming from somewhat different social backgrounds. Their fathers are on opposite sides of an industrial dispute, and the various social and peer pressures operating on them places a strain on their relationship.

In "A Seaside Story" two youths visit a seaside resort for a holiday, but are looking for very different things. One is seeking to chat up the local girls, whereas the other, more introverted, seems more interested in fossil hunting and nature.

Split (1974): A young boy with behavioral problems claims to have been possessed by an alien life-force.

The Prince of Tides (1991) Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama, Romance

The Prince of Tides 1991
"Human pain does not let go of its grip at any one point in time," Robert Veninga writes in Gift of Hope: How We Survive Our Tragedies. "Rather it works its way out of our consciousness over time." The grip of pain and the liberation that comes when it is released is the theme of The Prince of Tides, directed and produced by and starring Barbra Streisand.

The Prince of Tides is all about family: the ties that bind, through thick and thin, good and bad, love and hate. All his life, Tom Wingo (Nick Nolte) has been a good "Southern boy," putting on a good show of jokes and banter rather than showing pain... and in the process, pushing away the people who matter most in his life. But when his beloved sister Savannah is hospitalized after a suicide attempt, Tom receives a call for help from her psychiatrist, Susan (Barbra Streisand). Helping Savannah means more than making the trip north to New York to visit her in the hospital; Tom must help Susan understand Savannah's troubled past in order to resolve the issues that prompted her suicide attempt. But Savannah's past is also Tom's past, and during the course of his sessions with Susan, Tom must confront and share his most painful, hidden memories.

For her acclaimed second feature as a director, Barbra Streisand crafted a sumptuous, emotionally wrenching adaptation of Pat Conroy’s best-selling novel.
