Швейцарская мисс (1938)

Three people playing cards.

Лондонский книгоиздатель Тоби Худ, средних лет, приятной наружности и с хорошими манерами приезжает по делам в Кейптаун. Нет, нет, он - истый британец, и ему чужды расовые предрассудки. Он охотно знакомится с неграми, посещает собрание подпольной организации, борющейся за равноправие, он сочувствует своим новым темнокожим друзьям, он даже готов помочь им. Но, право же, он не понимает, почему нельзя сочетать все это с посещением плантаторских вилл, легкой и беззаботной любовной интрижкой с местной аристократкой, светскими «файф-о-клоками», словом, с той комфортабельной, сытой и покойной жизнью, к которой он так привык. Этот вопрос задает ему не кто иной, как он сам, внутренний голос его совести. Это мучительная, но требующая четкого решения дилемма. Дилемма, встающая перед любым, будь он жителем страны или приезжим. Или - или. Необходим выбор: с кем ты - с угнетенными или угнетателями.

В центре сюжета этого фильма находится харизматический актёр-малыш Томио Аоки. Преступник похищает богатого маленького мальчика, но непослушный озорной малыш делает жизнь банды из двух человек настолько горькой, что злоумышленники в конечном итоге хотят отдать его своим родителям, которые, впрочем, его отсутствием не очень-то обеспокоены. Фильм сохранился не в полном виде (только отрывок в 14 мин.).

France in the early 60s. Simon, a wrestler, wears a white mask. In the ring, he is known as "The Specter". He suggests to his friend Victor who has just returned from combat to be his adversary in the ring and wear a black mask, and be known as "The Slaughterer of Belleville". But for Victor, still shaken from his experience in combat, this is too much; for once in his life he would like to be the good guy, the one people cheer on. Simon then suggests they switch masks. But it proves less easy to fool the rest of the wrestling crowd...

Finished shooting in 1962, the movie’s cast was almost the same as its crew. With a bunch of experimental symbols such as skinny human body, clock and goat flow from one scene to another, the film explores the question of whether a man is a prisoner of time.

In this Borgesian satire on knowledge and technology, bibliophilic desire leads to the construction of a pedal-powered reading machine. Resembling a combination of gymnastic contraption, printing press and early cinematic apparatus, the machine’s purpose remains ambiguous. And like this machine, Terayama’s film connects his work in poetry, motion picture and graphic design by weaving together printed and projected, still and moving images.

Structured in visual chapters: the port, anchors, the wind, the spray, the dunes, the North Sea… A series of images that need no anecdote or explanation. Storck offers a glimpse of Ostend, aspects that order its multiple constitutive elements; The water, the sand, the waves, vital cinematic language displayed in simple pictures. A poetic and kinetic shock, without fiction or sound, which relieves film from its narrative obligation and restores it to the world of sensations that it can alone carry.

Девушка шла мимо стройки, и ей что-то в глаз попало. Поэтому глаз у нее постоянно моргает, ну а проходящие мимо мужики думают, что она им подмигивают, и чуть позже по очереди приходят в ней в гости, и она, услышав очередной стук и думая, что это вернулся ее отец, прячет предыдущего гостя (ай да Солоха!). Нам этот фильм ценен прежде всего тем, что в нем играет Оливер Харди, которому всего 23 года. В то время Харди зарабатывает на жизнь, снимаясь вот в таких простых миникороткометражках. Но в этом фильме у него главная мужская роль!

A temperamental director multiple times completely changes the concept during a movie's production.

Dirceu, 30 years old, has origins that go back to the aristocracy of Northeast Brazilian backlands. Settled in a kind of subjective amnesia, Dirceu tries to bury his family's past. He is a demolition man in Recife, an urban landscape undergoing an uncontrolled process of transformation. Maria shares the same country origins, but she uses the city for a different purpose. She is a carefree and joyful music student. If Dirceu aspires to a world that is stable and present, Maria lives in discord with the present. To her, nothing is as it should be. Maria's apparition unleashes in Dirceu an urge for being somebody else. On a route of escape through the desert of the backlands, a unique encounter is set to happen. Boa sorte, meu amor (Good luck, sweetheart) is an anti-romance of the impact between music and silence.
