La Femme Enfant. 1980.


La Femme Enfant. 1980.

Женщина-ребёнок / La Femme Enfant.
Elisabeth a treize ans, et elle vit dans un faubourg industriel du Nord de la France. Douee pour la musique, elle joue de l'orgue a l'eglise locale, alors que ses parents assez bornes ne s'interessent qu'a leur salon de coiffure. Depuis trois ans deja, Elisabeth a en secret une relation amoureuse avec Marcel, un homme de 45 ans a qui elle rend visite chaque matin avant l'ecole, faisant un crochet a velo jusqu'a sa maison solitaire au milieu des bois. Marcel est muet et, exclus du contact avec ses semblables, ils s'est profondement attache a Elisabeth, a qui il voue une veritable adoration. Entre ces deux etres incompris s'est developpee une relation passionnee, tourmentee et possessive; mais ou le pouvoir n’est pas toujours du meme cote. Car si Marcel est apparemment le plus tort, il est aussi terriblement dependant du bon vouloir de sa jeune amie, qui peut a tout moment le faire cruellement souffrir, comme le jour ou elle manque le rendez-vous ou il comptait feter son anniversaire. Tour a tour, Elisabeth est une amante soumise ou une maitresse exigeante. Et comme la Lorelei du poeme qu'elle recite en classe, Elisabeth sera pour Marcel la femme fatale qui le menera a sa perte. En effet, comme elle a gagne le concours de jeunes organistes, ses parents l'envoient poursuivre ses etudes au conservatoire de Lille, ou elle est logee en pension. N'osant annoncer son depart a Marcel, elle le quitte sans rien dire, et c'est par hasard, en epiant les conversations des clients au salon de coiffure de ses parents, que Marcel apprendra la terrible verite. Desespere, il se tranche la gorge avec le rasoir du coiffeur qui lui fait la barbe.

La casa de mi abuela / My Grandmother's House. 2005.

Дом моей бабушки / La casa de mi abuela / My Grandmother's House. 2005.
 At first glance, not much is happening in My Grandmother's House. A grandmother is taking care of her grandchild while her parents are at work. Six-year-old Marina is expected to conform to the daily rituals that determine 75-year-old Marita's conservative and religious life in a dull industrial town in the Spanish Alicante province. The girl rebels in her own impulsive and headstrong way against her grandmother's strictness and sombre outlook on life. Adan Aliaga visualises the naturalness of their contact and the seemingly insurmountable differences between their worlds. Simple actions are the starting point from which the director, in short chapters, zooms in on recalcitrant sensitivities and ironic details. This makes the film a poetic and subtle exploration of Marina's still unbiased and innocent attitude on the one hand and Marita's repressed pain and growing despair on the other. The fact is that the house Marita has lived in for 52 years has to be demolished, and she cannot stand the thought of moving. Playfully and tenderly, My Grandmother's House shows the bickering and the nevertheless invariable love between a grandmother and her grandchild.
Director: Adan Aliaga.

Lord of the Flies. 1963, 1990.

 Lord of the Flies. 1963.
Lord of the Flies is a 1963 British drama film, based on William Golding's novel of the same name about 30 schoolboys who are marooned on an island where they become savages. It was directed and written by Peter Brook and produced by Lewis M. Allen. The film was in production for much of 1961, though the film did not premiere until 1963, and get released in the United Kingdom until 1964. Golding himself supported the film. When Kenneth Tynan was a script editor for Ealing Studios he commissioned a script of Lord of the Flies from Nigel Kneale, but Ealing Studios closed in 1959 before it could be produced.
The novel was adapted into a movie for a second time in 1990; the 1963 film is generally considered more faithful to the novel than the 1990 adaptation.
A group of young boys are stranded alone on an island. Left to fend for themselves, they must take on the responsibilities of adults, even if they are not ready to do so. Inevitably, two factions form: one group (lead by Ralph) want to build shelters and collect food, whereas Jack's group would rather have fun and HUNT; illustrating the difference between civilization and savagery.
Director: Peter Brook.
Cast: James Aubrey, Tom Chapin, Hugh Edwards, Roger Elwin, Tom Gaman, Roger Allan, David Brunjes, Peter Davy, Kent Fletcher, Nicholas Hammond, Christopher Harris, Alan Heaps.

 Lord of the Flies. 1990.
 Lord of the Flies is a 1990 American survival drama film directed by Harry Hook and starring Balthazar Getty, Chris Furrh, Danuel Pipoly and James Badge Dale. It was produced by Lewis M. Allen and written by Jay Presson Allen under the pseudonym "Sarah Schiff", based on the 1954 book Lord of the Flies, by William Golding. It is the second film adaptation of the book, after Lord of the Flies (1963).
The film differs in many ways from both its predecessor film and the novel. Lord of the Flies centers on Ralph mainly, as the boys try to initiate a society after crash-landing on an uncharted island, but things go awry.
The film was released on March 16, 1990 by Columbia Pictures, with film rights now belonging to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Upon and since its release, the film has received mixed reviews, generally more negative than its 1963 counterpart. Most critics praise the film's scenery but center upon the film's deviations from the novel as a central flaw. However, the movie grossed $14 million and has acquired a cult following.
After a plane crash in the ocean, a group of military students reach an island. Ralph organizes the boys, assigning responsibilities for each one. When the rebel Jack Merridew neglects the fire camp and they lose the chance to be seen by a helicopter, the group split under the leadership of Jack. While Ralph rationalizes the procedures, Jack returns to the primitivism, using the fear for the unknown (in a metaphor to the religion) to control the other boys, and hunting and chasing pigs, stealing the possession of Ralph's group and even killing people.
Director: Harry Hook.
Cast: Balthazar Getty, Chris Furrh, Danuel Pipoly, James Badge Dale, Andrew Taft, Edward Taft, Gary Rule, Terry Wells, Braden MacDonald, Angus Burgin, Martin Zentz, Brian Jacobs, Vincent Amabile.

Metta Meta Gakido Koza. 1971.
 Metta Meta Gakido Koza is a live-action comedy from 1971 directed by Mio Ezaki, based on a manga by Tanioka Yasuji. It’s a crazed blend of Benny Hill, Monty Python, and Takashi Miike’s Visitor Q. The main character is a lecherous boy, around twelve years old, who has a habit of hitting people on the head with an ax. (In fact, the characters are constantly inflicting violence upon each other, though there’s no blood.) Among the other characters are his brother, who is only a couple of years younger but is always dressed like a baby, and a “superhero” who wears a blue rooster costume with three leglike appendages attached for some reason. Occasionally, various characters grow huge buck teeth (a bit like the ones in the Monty Python sketch).
Director: Mio Ezaki.

El cantor / The Singer. 1977.

El cantor / The Singer. 1977.
DE. El Cantor ist ein deutscher Fernsehfilm von Dean Reed aus dem Jahr 1977. Der von der DEFA im Auftrag des Fernsehens der DDR produzierte Film beschäftigt sich mit den letzten Wochen im Leben des Sängers Víctor Jara.
Der zeitweilig in der DDR lebende US-amerikanische Sänger und Schauspieler Dean Reed übernahm für die Herstellung dieses Fernsehfilms gleich mehrere Aufgaben:
Im Jahre 1976 erarbeitete er das Szenarium, schrieb danach zusammen mit Wolfgang Ebeling das Drehbuch, inszenierte diesen Film als Regisseur und agierte in der Hauptrolle des populären chilenischen Sängers Victor Jara, der von Kräften der chilenischen Putschisten umgebracht wurde. Dean Reed wollte mit diesem Film seinem langjährigen Freund Jara eine Denkmal und gleichzeitig ein Zeichen im Kampf gegen die Militärjunta in Chile setzen.
In diesem Streifen zeigt Reed viel Persönliches aus den letzten Wochen in Victor Jaras Leben, so die enge Bindung zu seiner Frau - hier Janet genannt und von Friederike Aust interpretiert - und zu seinen beiden Kindern. Daneben schildert er Jaras alltägliches Bemühen um eine menschliche Gesellschaft, so auch als Mistreiter für die Sache der UNIDAT POPULAR, und die damit verbundene direkte Bedrohung seitens seiner politischen Gegner.
Der Film wurde ab Februar 1977 in Bulgarien gedreht, weil Reed der Auffassung war, dass die bulgarische Architektur der in Chile ähnele. Für Szenen über eine Kundgebung der UNIDAD POPULAR standen Mitglieder des bulgarischen Jugendverbandes als Komparsen bereit.
EN. Victor Jara is one of the most popular singers in Chile. In 1973 he is arrested by the military and his body is found dead.

Requiem pro panenku / Requiem for a Maiden. 1992.
CZ. Requiem pro panenku je český film, který v roce 1991 natočil režisér Filip Renč na motivy skutečné události z roku 1984. (Ovšem podle výpovědí některých svědků události, jež byla předobrazem k filmu, popisuje film spíše tehdejší oficiální verzi prezentovanou při soudním přelíčení.)
Administrativním omylem se čtrnáctiletá Marika dostane místo do dětského domova do ústavu pro mentálně choré, odkud není úniku. Panuje v něm nelidská mašinérie a sadistické vychovatelky používají tak drastické "výchovné" metody, že se dívka rozhodne bezvýchodnou situaci řešit zoufalým činem...
EN. Requiem for a Maiden (Czech: Requiem pro panenku) is a Czech psychodrama film inspired by real-life tragedy which costed the lives of 26 mentally disabled girls. Released in 1992, it was the directorial debut of Filip Renč who also starred in a supporting role and until today it is his most successful movie. It was also the main role debut for the then 14 years old actress Anna Geislerová.
Fourteen-year-old Marika was placed in a social care institution after being raped by her own father, and her mother died when she was four. By an administrative mistake, however, the girl is put into the Institute for Mentally Disabled Girls at Sance. From the very first day, she tries to remind the staff that she does not belong in this building and should be placed in a children's home in Hradci. There are hard punishments for mentally handicapped girls there. The headmaster of the institute is completely unaware of what is happening in his institution.
