Tchao pantin 1983
Lambert, a withdrawn middle-aged man, works the night shift at a Parisian petrol station. He has no friends, no family; his only companion is his bottle of rum. One night, a young Arab man, Bensoussan, enters his shop - and his life. This stranger also has no family, lives alone in a dingy room, and scrapes a living as a drugs dealer. A friendship develops between the two solitary men - but this is brutally cut short when Bensoussan is killed in front of Lambert's eyes. Realising that his new friend was murdered by his drug dealing associates, Lambert sets out to avenge his death - assisted by Lola, a punk girl who met Bensoussan briefly. In so doing, he manages to face up to his own tragic past...

Coluche, born Michel Gerard Joseph Colucci, was best known as a comedian and comic actor, and his work still has a major cult following in France because of its biting political satire and its readiness to push the limits of “taste”; this rare dramatic role brought Coluche a Cesar Award for Best Actor.

Ludwig (1973) 2 x Blu-Ray Arrow Academy Limited Edition

by movieworld on April 18th, 2017 at 11:37
Posted In: .Other movies, Biography, Drama, History

Ludwig 1973
Luchino Visconti's film Ludwig is an example of a biopic done as an epic, a grand and opulent study of the life of the 19th-century "mad kind of Bavaria," Ludwig II.

The story behind Ludwig is a rather tragic one. A young man becomes king of Bavaria, providing him with the freedom to explore his love of art, music and young men in a decadent lifestyle that ultimately leads to his downfall.

The director was able to withstand the urge to convey Ludwig as a simple crazy regent, and instead delve deep within the mystique and draw out the complex historical character. He is never portrayed in the film as being crazy, but overly passionate regarding architecture and music.

Posted In: .Other movies, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror

Dead of Night 1945Walter Craig is invited to stay at Pilgrim’s Farm in the country to assist with architectural reconstruction. When he arrives, he’s shocked to discover that he recognizes everyone gathered in the living room, despite having never been there and having never met any of them before. He has a recurring dream in which he approaches the house, walks in and sits down with the group, exactly as he just did. He discusses this supernatural drama with the group; some believe him, a few are delighted at the occult theory, and others are understandably skeptical. Thus begins a series of flashbacks, recalling strange, horrific stories told by each member of the party.
Dead of Night, the horror anthology film from Britain’s venerable Ealing Studios, is one of the most influential and highly regarded horror films of the classic era.

Blowup / Blow-Up (1966) 2 x DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

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

Blow-Up 1966 Criterion Collection
Michelangelo Antonioni's 'Blow Up' is a film that is something of an enigma. It's rich, satisfying and demands much from the viewer. Antonioni's first film in English, and for a major studio, it's come to be acknowledged as a bona fide classic and, rest assured, its status is still well deserved. The plot is fairly simple, a photographer (never named but played by David Hemmings) comes across what he thinks is a murder, buried in the background of some fairly innocuous looking pictures. From this simple, yet intriguing, premise, Antonioni uses the slim narrative framework to pose some pretty profound questions on the nature of art, vision, commerce, power, sex and, ultimately, life itself.

Like the majority of Antonioni's films, however, Blow-Up allows for multiple interpretations, so after repeated viewings you will almost certainly discover a lot more that is worth analyzing and discussing.

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

Brazil 1985 Criterion Collection
Brazil is Terry Gilliam's vision of a George Orwellian future, released a year after the author's 1984 predictions failed to come to pass.

Sam Lowry, the main protagonist, lives in an industrial world where privacy is a thing of the past. He is a loner without any friends who dreams a lot – even when he is awake. He imagines himself as a winged warrior, soaring through the cloudy sky, challenging shadowy hordes of deformed creatures and a giant samurai made out of technological bits and bobs.

Sam's world is monitored and controlled by intelligent computers that have everyone's personal information. The computers are controlled by an elite group of bureaucrats who are protected by leather-clad soldiers equipped with ultra-sophisticated weapons. No one questions their authority. The few brave souls that occasionally do are quickly eliminated.

Sam works for the agency that collects and processes all of the data that goes into the computers. He is a low-level employee there who makes sure that everything runs smoothly, without errors. He likes his job because it maintains a steady rhythm in his life.

One day, Sam discovers that one of the agency's computers has made an error which has resulted in the elimination of an innocent man - Archibald Buttle. The last name of the man that should have been eliminated, a criminal with a long record, is Tuttle. Sam quickly informs his boss and he authorizes a refund check. While delivering the check to Buttle's widow, Sam encounters the stunningly beautiful Jill Layton, who looks a lot like the girl he has been spending time with in his dreams. He attempts to find out more about her and his life spirals out of control...

Multiple Maniacs (1970) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

by movieworld on April 16th, 2017 at 11:07
Posted In: .Other movies, Comedy, Crime, Horror

Multiple Maniacs 1970 Criterion Collection
Multiple Maniacs remains one of the most provocative, outright filthy, plain insane and unabashedly disgusting movies ever made. It is also John Waters's most complex film, dealing with sexual and religious taboos in the most graphic and contentious way conceivable. Despite the extremely brazen, impudent and overtly trashy tone, Multiple Maniacs is an intellectual piece and also a harsh criticism of American society, and it remains ever so politically and socially relevant nearly five decades later.

The film follows the escapades of the sideshow ‘Lady Divine's Cavalcade of Perversions’, which invites audiences to look upon various ‘perverse’ acts. The audience is eventually robbed by the ‘perverse’ performers, as the troupe go on to their next group of targets. Divine leads the troupe with her boyfriend Mr. David, and their contentious relationship drives the remainder of the story.

Jack the Ripper 1988
London, 1888. Alcoholic police detective Frederick Abberline (Michael Caine) is brought back into duty when a series of gruesome murders are committed in Whitechapel. The victims, all prostitutes, are molested with an unmatched brutality. Upon examining the initial victim, Abbeline is convinced that this is no ordinary killing, more of a surgical execution.

Together with Sergeant George Godley (Lewis Collins), Abberline is finding suspects everywhere. One of them could be the flamboyant actor Richard Mansfield (Armand Assante) who is currently playing Jekyll and Hyde on the stage in a performance so diabolically convincing that Abberline can’t help wondering where Mansfield finds the inspiration. The famous spiritualist Robert James Lees (Ken Bones) is consulted, with intriguing results that bring Abberline and Godley closer to the truth. As the killer prepares for his worst crime yet, the Metropolitan Police is pressuring Abberline to find him before Whitechapel is set ablaze by rioters who fear for their women’s lives.

But the only consistent clues that Abberline can put together point in a very sensitive direction - to someone involved with the Royal Family...

And Everything Is Going Fine (2010) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

And Everything Is Going Fine 2010
Spalding Gray left this Earth in January of 2004, after struggling for several years following a horrific car accident in Ireland. We see the effects of that accident at the tail end of And Everything is Going Fine, Steven Soderbergh's documentary tribute to the actor and writer. He is clearly in pain, and he no longer looks himself. It's a sad finish for a man who otherwise pulled wit and wisdom out of what he termed the great accident of life.

Gray was a struggling actor until his one-man monologues started getting notice in the 1980s. His watershed moment was Swimming to Cambodia, a stage show based on his experience filming The Killing Fields. Gray developed his own kind of theatre--just himself and a desk and a microphone, talking about his life.

In deference to Gray’s fabled eloquence and remarkable genius for introspection and rigorous self-examination, Steven Soderbergh, who collaborated with his subject on the performance film Gray’s Anatomy, turns And Everything Is Going Fine into what’s essentially a one-man show. Soderbergh follows Gray’s alternately sad and hilarious life story through performance footage, home movies, and clips of Gray being interviewed on everything from The Charlie Rose Show to MTV and E!
