Corpo celeste. 2011.

Corpo celeste. 2011.
 Set deep in the south of Italy, Corpo Celeste is the story of 13 year old Marta who is struggling to resettle after ten years growing up in Switzerland. Bright-eyed and restless, she observes the sights, sounds and smells of the city but feels very much an outsider. Marta is about to undergo the rite of confirmation. In the convention of the Catholic Church she takes catechism but confronts the morality of the local Catholic community. A series of subtle moments trace her journey as she connects and conflicts with her mother, sister and the Sunday school teacher Santa. From experiencing her period to making a bold decision to cut her hair, Marta begins to shape her own life for the first time since moving back to Italy. Corpo Celeste heralds the arrival of a young and distinctive voice. Alice Rohrwacher's writing and directing debut is a sensitive unveiling of the moral and religious layers that can smother adolescence.

Xiao he shang chu ma / Little Heroes of Shaolin Temple. 1972.

Xiao he shang chu ma /  Little Heroes of Shaolin Temple. 1972.
 1. Per the film's title, the Ninja masters this time out are adolescents. Disaster reigns supreme when the Prince of Blood invades a Shaolin temple. Most of the adults are killed, and it looks bad for Our Side. But the "little heroes" come through in a manner that would make their elders proud.
2. What a bizarre little film. What the story is really about or who the little kids are is not worth worrying about in this film. It is the amazing acrobatics that should entertain you through this movie. The scene where a drunk kid dances around a table with a bottle is pretty amazing as are the balancing acts.

Adam, Evchen, and Manni are looking at the moon through their home-made telescope. Evchen isn't interested, and dismisses the moon as a lump of cheese. Manni, who is a big fan of technology, sees satellites and a car driving over the moon's surface. But Adam hears the moon speak, and hears it ask for flowers to cover its surface. From then on, Adam is determined to breed a kind of flower that can grow on the moon. Although he is made fun of at school and is yelled at by his father, who develops extra-nutritious vegetables for Professor Vitamin, Adam keeps trying. Eventually things take a positive turn. Kondensmaxe, in his airplane, finds Professor Vitamin's old magic greenhouse. It turns out the Professor was herself concerned with developing such a flower, before the war, and is willing to assist Adam in his research. Manni and Evchen support him every step of the way, and so does Adam's grandfather. Eventually Adam's mother even convinces her husband to assist the children...

Alla vi barn i Bullerbyn. 1986.

Alla vi barn i Bullerbyn. 1986.
 In a family film written by Astrid Lindgren and directed by Lasse Hallstrom you might expect quite a bit of fun and fancy free. Instead "Alla vi barn i Bullerbyn" turns out almost completely free of fantasy. With thinly disguised autobiographical narration by lead character Lisa, this story of simple country life recalls simpler times gone by and is a welcome alternative for parents to show today's toddlers accustomed to Manga style entertainment (if their attention spans have not already been affected that is).
Director: Lasse Hallstrom.
Cast: Soren Petersson, Ingwar Svensson, Elisabeth Nordkvist, Crispin Dickson Wendenius, Henrik Larsson, Tove Edfeldt.

Spermula / L'amour est un fleuve en Russie. 1976.

Spermula / L'amour est un fleuve en Russie. 1976.
 FR. Spermula is a French softcore fantasy film from 1976 director by Charles Matton.
Aux États-Unis, dans les années 1930, une secte composée de libertins riches et excentriques qui rejettent toute idée d'amour, considérait la création artistique comme une forme de mal et tentait de trouver dans la liberté sexuelle totale l'extase de l'être pur. À la suite d'une conférence qu'ils ont convoquée à New York en 1937, tous les membres de la secte ont disparu. D'aucuns ont supposé qu'il s'agissait d'extraterrestres infiltrés. Des années plus tard, un journaliste les a retrouvés dans un endroit secret dans les forêts d'Amérique du Sud, mais on ne les entendit plus jamais. De la brume, un énorme vaisseau flotte dans le ciel nocturne. À l'intérieur, Spermula et ses cohortes sont en train de retourner à la civilisation pour transmettre leur message de paix et de liberté à un monde devenu fou en "spermulant" les hommes, ce qui implique de leur retirer leur essence sexuelle qui provoque l'agression, l'ambition et la jalousie. Ils s'installent dans une maison de maître, dont les voisins comprennent le maire de la ville, son épouse malheureuse et maltraitée, son assistant et une veuve. Spermula et sa compagnie rassemblent les éléments de l'intrigue qui se termine par une orgie. Les femmes sont corrompues par ce contact avec le monde extérieur et leur belle chef, Spermula, tombe amoureuse d’un jeune artiste et sacrifie son immortalité pour une nuit de passion avec lui.
EN. This refers to the original French film, "L'Amour est un fleuve en Russie" [Love is a River in Russia]- a superior film to the English dubbed "Spermula" which is more widely known. English subtitles are available that make this film more accessible. Plot: In the 1930's, a notorious secret society known as Spermula - centered around the "rapture of being" achieved through a total liberation of the senses - disappeared from "civilized society." They were rumored to have developed supernatural powers. Over time they have honed their powers, and put in motion a plan to return from the future and conquer the world that once exiled them. An elite force of commandos - in the guise of several beautiful females - are charged with the task of neutering the male population. This is to be achieved by extracting the male reproductive fluids (orally) - allowing the decadent human race to eventually die off from natural attrition. Ingrid (Dayle Haddon), leading the Spermulan assault, sets about neutralizing the leaders of the community in which they have established the invasion's beachhead ... and then plans to gobble up the rest of the male population in one lavish orgiastic party. Unfortunately, as Ingrid herself has foreseen, members of her cadre begin to succumb to the unfamiliar temptations of the flesh, and develop emotional attachments to their intended victims. Blighted by the curse of emotional love, the invaders are forced to withdraw ... for now. [Note: the English-dubbed "Spermula" was significantly re-written in the dubbing, invoking a hokey plot about the planet Spermula about to be destroyed in a giant collision, prompting the decision to invade Earth.]
Some facts.
In 1976 a German magazine featured an article, ranting in indignation about Irina Ionesco letting her then 11 year old daughter, Eva Ionesco, appear in this 'adult' film, and appearing naked at that (though evidently not in any sex scenes). This article included still shots of Eva from the set, both dressed and fully nude, as well as alongside other women who do appear in the film, so clearly she was attached to the project at one point or another. However, there are currently 3 different versions of this film floating around now-days, none of which has *any* scenes with Eva Ionesco, nor does any of them include her name in the credits. So it is highly plausible that all of her scenes were never intended to actually be included in the final version of the film, but whether the whole thing was just a publicity stunt orchestrated by her mother (one of quite a few in the mid 70's), or what other reasons there may have been is anyone's guess.
Director: Charles Matton.
Cast: Dayle Haddon, Udo Kier, François Dunoyer, Jocelyne Boisseau, Ginette Leclerc, Eva Ionesco, Isabelle Mercanton, Georges Géret, Radiah Frye, Angela McDonald, Suzannah Djian, Myriam Mézières.

Dong dong de jia qi / A Summer At Grandpa's. 1984.

Dong dong de jia qi / A Summer At Grandpa's. 1984.
 This film is inspired by screenwriter Chu Tien-wen's childhood memories. It is the first installment of director Hou Hsiao-Hsien's "Coming-of-Age Trilogy" that features three prominent Taiwanese screenwriters' coming-of-age stories - the other two are "Time to Live and a Time to Die, A (1985)" (inspired by the coming-of-age story of Hou Hsiao-Hsien, who is a screenwriter-turned-director) and "Dust in the Wind (1986)" (inspired by the coming-of-age story of Wu Nien-Jen).
One summer in Taiwan, a young boy and his sister are sent to the country home of their grandparents, as their mother has been hospitalized. The movie is told from the children's point of view, and nothing terribly important happens in much of it, just life passing by during one summer in a rural village in Taiwan. The boy interact with the other children in the picturesque mountain village, while her younger sister, who is unable to understand what has happened to her mother, mostly stays at home of their grandparents. What is best about the movie is the warm portrayal of the characters, especially the grandfather, a stern doctor.
Director: Hou Hsiao-hsien.

Ливень / Sonagi / The Shower.
 Rain Shower", also "Shower" or "Sonagi," is a Korean short story written by Korean writer Hwang Sun-won in 1959. "Rain Shower" is a translation of the Korean title “Sonagi.” A sonagi is a brief but heavy rain shower that starts suddenly, usually on a hot afternoon. In Hwang’s story, the rain shower symbolizes the short but heart-rending love between the boy and the girl. The story begins with the boy encountering the girl playing by the stream on his way back home.
Although many of Hwang’s short stories are notable, “Rain Shower” is cited as his timeless Korean classic by Koreans. Koreans of all ages are acquainted with this story. It is famous for its poignant depiction of the Korean countryside and of innocent adolescent love. The picturesque scenes from this story stir nostalgia for many people.
