Mother
As we cannot summarize life of a person, we should not attempt to summarize a film. Why can't we see the beauty of things as they are - without understanding them?

Berenice (1832)
Berenice is a meditation on a dream of lost plenitude, and its inversion into decay. The events depicted in the film concern the formation and dissolution of a utopian community in 1832, and the psychic and physical disintegration of two members of that community. In an allusion to the interiority of the main character, Berenice, whose flashbacks form the film’s narrating consciousness, the oblique and inward-turning fictive structure gives itself over to delirious visual asides. The film is partially adapted from the Edgar Allan Poe story of the same name. Additional primary sources used in constructing the film include texts by the 19th-century French utopian Charles Fourier and the collected letters from Brook Farm.
Interviews in the Michael Moore/"Roger and Me" tradition examine life in small-town America, class conflicts and the collapse of an upstate New York community, Dadetown, when the town's once-prosperous factory, reduced to the manufacture of paper clips and staples, finally closes. Facing massive unemployment, the blue-collar Dadetown residents next find yuppies moving into town to staff the local division of a big computer outfit.

호러, 드라마, SF가 뒤섞인 기이한 잡종의 이 영화는 세 편의 이야기를 한데 엮은 전연 독창적이고 자극적인 영화이다. 첫 번째 이야기에서 의사는 인간의 성욕의 근원을 발견한 후 기이하게 변모된다. 다음 이야기에서 두 죄수는 강박적인 동성애적 관계에 휘말리게 된다. 마지막의 환상적인 이야기는 더욱 기이하다. 살인을 저지르고 가족과 마을을 떠난 일곱 살 짜리 소년의 이야기 속에서 가족의 세계로부터 해방된 어린 소년은 자신이 벌인 일들을 바라보는 세인의 시선을 의아해 한다. 음울하면서도 더없이 매혹적인 은 각각 서로 다른 영화적 양식을 경유하며 부조리한 상상력을 교직한다.
