| "October 1918" is the date for this story. German soldiers are planting explosives to destroy the advancing British soldiers when they occupy a French city. The townspeople hurriedly evacuate the town. The British are warned, they will not march into town. Instead Private Plumpick [some pun?] will be sent in to scout the town and defuse the bombs - by himself! [Believable?] Discovered by the Germans, he flees into a building for refuge and safety; it is the local insane asylum. The result of the ... Read More: |

| I was 18 when I saw this movie for the first time, and it gave me quite a shock - for the first time, I realized a movie could be more than just entertainment, then it could inform, infuriate and chill you at the same time.
This movie depicts the events surrounding the death of the charismatic leader of a leftist Greek political faction. As the judge in charge investigates, he realizes that it isn't an accident, but murder, sanctioned by important people. These events are based on the real-life assassination ... Read More: |

| Latcho Drom is mesmerizing, the people magical and the music unforgettable.
There is no dialogue, but this does nothing to detract from the film's integrity or entertainment value. Although Rom diaspora has resulted in the Roma living in just about every country on earth, Latcho Drom provides the viewer with a coup d'oeil of the Roma people in Africa, Egypt, Turkey, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, France and Spain. The Romanian Roma (the two are mutually exclusive), instantly pulled me under ... Read More: |

| fascinating french movie. not overly sentimental and romantic, but at times erotic and lustful. a quiet, slow burning desire. when life was fulfilled and so satisfying, you might just want to end it right there. a movie clicked a core of your soul and would keep vibrating for the rest of your life.
glamorously beautiful hairdresser, a serene, warm, ravishing and passionate woman played so just-right by an excellent actress. the husband role was a bit too old but also a mature, likable and even lovable character played ... Read More: |

Through this curiously simple story, Abbas Kiarostami displays a breathtaking exploration around the social body of the Iranian nation, about a seven years old girl who, in the eve of the New year- 1374 according the Iranian calendar- in her desire to buy a goldfish, loses her money on the way. Meanwhile, two dervishes, a gentle old lady, a distracted tailor, a talkative soldier, her brother and an afghan refugee will accompany her in order to help and comfort her, around that unpleasant fact. Apparently, ... Read More: |

| I saw this movie first and only realized later that Wim Wenders also directed Wings of Desire, a film which I also enjoyed very much.
This is beautiful, quiet sort of a movie with a minimalist quality to it as it seems to have been filmed in Lisbon in the summer where it is so hot that nobody seems to be around. In that light, there is an oddly beautiful and romantic quality to vibes of lonliness presented in the film. Without giving away too much, the film is about a man in Germany who is a sound maker, ...

|
| Yojimbo is Kurosawa's most popular movie both at home and in the West & it is easy to see why. First and foremost, it's just fun. Combining cool, dry wit, black humor and rousing action; even those who don't "get" the mocking of Westerns or Samurai movies will find plenty to enjoy. Shorter than Ran and Seven Samurai, more accessible than Rashomon or Throne of Blood and more exciting than Ikiru or Red Beard. Yojimbo isn't a masterpiece, though Toshiro Mifune gives an incredible performance. Yojimbo has such a relaxed, sardonic tone to it, ... Read More: |

| Although DANTON distills events that occurred over several months into a matter of days, this film comes very close to taking viewers back to Paris on the eve of "The Great Terror."
I have seen DANTON many times, and I am still impressed with its realism and impact. This piece is beautifully cast, although I believe Robespierre and Desmoulins were a bit slighter in build than they are portrayed. In my own role of college teacher, I was recently asked by a colleague to recommend the best film on the Revolution. Without hesitation, I answered, ... Read More: |
