플라스틱 맨: 디 아트풀 라이프 오브 제리 로스 배리쉬
Jerry Ross Barrish sees the beauty in—and creates the unexpected out of—discarded materials. The son of hard-working Jewish immigrants with crime-family connections, Barrish worked for 50 years as a bail bondsman, much of it for radical protesters. He stumbled into acclaim as a filmmaker, earning the Museum of Modern Art’s prestigious New Director distinction and winning major European awards along the way. Then one day, inspiration struck as he picked up plastic trash on a beach, leading him to launch a whole new career as a sculptor. Though acclaimed by curators, he long went virtually unnoticed in the commercial-art realm. But at age 75, the unassuming Barrish may finally be on the verge of success, as William Farley’s engaging documentary goes to show. Seeing the playfulness of his pieces, you’ll understand why: with artificial materials, he has managed to capture real life. -Denver Film Society
Rembrandt Laughing
Mr. Bondsman
This film is a portrait of the passage of one year in the lives of some San Francisco friends, circa 1988 (before the dot.coming of the city), a slow marijuana hazed story which drifts like the fabled fog, encompassing the quirks and habits of a generation that made the city theirs, if only for a while. Very obliquely Rembrandt Laughing sketches the time and place, encompassing the AIDS epidemic, the casual sexual revolution, the debris of '68 lingering in the air. A quiet, very San Francisco comedy of life among a small group of friends. Rembrandt Laughing was improvised over the period of about a month by Jost and his friends, mostly acting non-professionals.
베를린 천사의 시
In the Bunker - The Director
베를린 하늘의 천사, 다니엘은 어느 날 공중 곡예를 하는 마리온을 보고 반한다. 그저 바라보기만 할 수 있는 천사로서는 사랑에 빠진 여자를 만질 수 없음이 그저 고통스럽기만 하다. 그러던 어느날, 천사였다가 인간이 된 콜롬보를 만난다. 그 후, 다니엘은 천사직을 포기하고 인간이 되어 마리온과 만질 수 있는 사랑에 빠진다. 인간이 되어 마리온과 접촉할 수 있는 사랑을 하게 되나, 인간으로서 살아가는 문제와도 봉착하게 된다.
Recent Sorrows
Director
Recent Sorrows begins with the simultaneous shattering of two men’s love affairs — one straight, the other gay. Tim has walked out on Katherine after finding her in bed with a younger man. Victor, possessive and longing for commitment, has been thrown out by his older lover, Neal. Both Tim and Vic seek solace in a café, where Vic overhears Tim confiding in a friend about his breakup with Katherine. When Tim leaves, desperate and a little drunk, Vic follows him home. Though they are strangers, he manages to talk his way into Tim’s apartment. Once inside, Vic claims to be a recruiter for the devil, willing to return Katherine in exchange for Tim’s soul. Angered, Tim suspects this is just a tasteless prank and demands that he leave. But what appears to be a “prank” leads to murder.
