Smultronstallet / Wild Strawberries (1957), Ingmar Bergman on Life and Work (1998) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Wild Strawberries 1957 Criterion CollectionWild Strawberries captures the thoughtful and compassionate side of Ingmar Bergman rarely seen in his films. It is the story of an aging man’s introspective journey on the meaning of his life, and inevitability of death.

Isak Borg is a doctor well into his autumn years and about to receive an honorary degree celebrating his fifty years in medicine. As he makes the trip to the university, he and his daughter-in-law travel across the areas where he grew up, leading Isak to reflect on his life, which ultimately makes him confront his fears and the fact that he has become a cold, inadequate man. They pick up a group of kids and a husband and wife, and even these strangers begin to meld into Isak's nightmares and reflections. Isak Borg is forced to confront his wasted emotional life, the inevitability of his death, and he struggles to make amends with who he has become.

Wild Strawberries is the most beautiful of Ingmar Bergman's pessimistic films. There are splashes of humor in it, but its effective depiction of the suffocating loneliness elderly people struggle with towards the end of their lives is indeed quite depressing.

Uomini contro / Many Wars Ago / Men Against… / Just Another War / Men Opposed (1970) Blu-Ray RaroVideo, DVD9 Minerva Classic

Uomini contro / Many Wars Ago / Men Against... / Just Another War / Men Opposed (1970) DVD9
The action takes place during the First World War on the Assagio, where Italian troops are fighting the Austrians for possession of Northern Italy. War has turned into a bloody stalemate. The ‘troops’ comprise of farmers and labourers who have little experience of war and are fatigued and homesick. Bogged down in their trenches on a barren highland, the men of an Italian infantry division have been given one objective: retake a commanding height from the enemy. Unfortunately, the tactical ingenuity of General Leone, the unpopular division commander, consists of supplementing frontal attacks against machine-guns with medieval fighting schemes. His dispirited troops must be prodded with ever harsher measures into storming the Austrian positions. Indignation spreads amongst the rank and file...

Although it covers some of the same thematic ground as Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory — the absurdities of a war run by the upper-crust but fought by the lower class — Francesco Rosi's Many Wars Ago fights the anti-war fight in its own way, highlighting the tedium and terror of The Great War's trenches. Rosi's approach to the combat is dirty and naturalistic, with carefully chosen moments of gore used to underscore the consequences of bad strategies.

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama

Le pornographe / Der Pornograph / The Pornographer (2001) DVD9Bertrand Bonello's second film is an intensely sombre meditative study of a man going through a Hellish mid-life crisis and his son's progression into adulthood.

Jacques Laurent (Jean-Pierre Leaud), a student revolutionary in 1968, started directing hardcore pornography in the 1970s, convinced of its radical potential. In the mid-Eighties, disillusioned, he retired. Now in debt, Laurent agrees to make another porn film. Not realizing how much the industry has changed through the years, Laurent clashes with a young producer as to how a sex scene should be shot, casting doubts on his ability to pull this off.
Jacques hasn't seen his teenage son, Joseph (Renier), who disowned his father on learning of his profession, for many years. Meanwhile, his son gets back in touch, causing the washed-up Jacques to ponder even more the meaning of his own life...

Posted In: .Other movies, Drama, Western

General Custer at the Little Big Horn 1926
General Custer at the Little Big Horn (1926)
One of the bloodiest battles in American history is brought to life in this rarely-seen silent blockbuster. Over 3,000 extras were employed to recreate General George Custer's last stand against the Indian forces led by Crazy Horse. Chosen to star in this mammoth production was Roy Stewart, one of the best known Western leading men of the silent era. Stewart made his name appearing in cowboy sagas such as The Learnin' of Jim Benton (1917), Cactus Crandall (1918) and The Sagebrusher (1920).

The Man From Tia Juana (1917): Jack Hoxie and Marin Sais star in this 'American Girl' short. A courageous young woman must clear her boyfriend after he is framed for a hold-up. Directed by James W. Horne, famed for his work with Laurel & Hardy and Buster Keaton.

Patsy's Jim (1921): Irving Cummings stars in this tale of a Royal Canadian Mountie who is nursed back to health by a beautiful young girl after being attacked by thugs. One of the few surviving films starring Cummings, who would later become a successful director of films such as In Old Arizona (1928), Curly Top (1940) and That Night in Rio (1941).

Little Forest Ranger (circa 1930): A young boy has to protect his little sister when a band of outlaws set fire to their house.

Private Property (1960) DVD5 and Blu-Ray Cinelicious Pics

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

Private Property 1960
This 1960 picture, long considered lost, and newly restored courtesy of the bold indie distributor Cinelicious Pics, is an incredibly tense psychosexual thriller that teeters on the edge of morbidity before its galvanic climax. Seen today, it’s also a fascinating melange of cinematic semiotics.

Set in Los Angeles, the film encounters two Beatnik-drifters named Duke (Corey Allen) and Boots (Warren Oates) as the two traverse the Pacific coast with little money in search of opportunity any way they can get it. They fondly recall past sins of robbery and rape in very ambiguous detail, but after harassing the owner of a local service station, Duke makes a pact to Boots that he will allow him to have "his turn" with the next woman they meet.

That woman turns out to be the attractive, wealthy housewife Ann Carlyle (Kate Manx), who spends most of her days cooped up inside the mansion in which her and her husband live. Duke and Boots hitch a ride in pursuit of the woman to her home, where she suntans when Boots approaches her after the two snoop around her house. In effort to make his time feel well spent, Duke searches the house for belongings and jewelry that could be sold or pawned for cash while Boots' facetious attempts at courtship slowly manifest into genuine interest and lust for Ann. Ann is too smitten by attention and conversation to see his or his pal's obvious manipulative intentions; she's just amazed she finally has someone to talk to after what appears to be years of loneliness.

Sullivan's Travels 1941
After years of shooting comedies, influential Hollywood director John Sullivan (Joel McCrea) decides that it is time for him to make a serious film about poverty in America. But the two studio bosses that greenlight his projects are concerned – Sullivan was born rich and his success in Hollywood has made him even richer, so what does he know about poverty?

Determined to prove that he can direct serious films just as well as he does comedies, Sullivan dresses as a hobo and leaves Hollywood.

Au coeur du mensonge / The Color of Lies (1999) DVD9 Artificial Eye, Blu-Ray Cohen Media

Posted In: .Other movies, Crime, Drama

The Color of Lies 1999
"The Color of Lies" is an unsettling psychological thriller bringing together the typical Chabrolesque themes of a fragile marriage, a complacent middle class community, horrific death, a lurking menace - and destructive suspicions.

When a little girl is raped and murdered in the woods near a small Brittany town, suspicion falls on the last person who saw her alive: art teacher Rene Sterne (Jacques Gamblin). His protective wife, Vivianne (Sandrine Bonnaire), tries to stave off inquisitive new Police Inspector Lesage (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi), but the allegations of the gossipy townsfolk put a strain on their marriage. Vivianne confides in her friend, local celebrity journalist Germain-Roland Desmot (Antoine de Caunes) who seizes his chance to seduce her. Under increasing pressure, Rene starts to question his own sanity.

By slowly uncovering the numerous connections between a dozen or so characters within the film's small coastal town, Chabrol and his co-writer Odile Barski string a web that gradually closes in on the killer and simultaneously puts subtle stress on the film's central love triangle.
