Forbudt for børn / Little Big Sister. Trilogy. 1996-1998. FULL-HD.

 Buldermanden / Boogeyman. 1996. FULL-HD.
De to søskende Ida og Skrubsak er på besøg hos mormor, en stram dame uden den store forståelse for små mennesker og deres tanker og følelser. Ved optræk til uartigheder truer hun med Buldermanden, der bor i skorstenen og spiser slemme børn. Mormor har foræret Skrubsak en bjæffende bamse, og hårdt ramt af jalousi foreslår storesøster Ida, at lillebror skal vise bamsen til Buldermanden. Skrubsak følger frygtløs Idas forslag – så langt, at han bliver hejst ned i den dybe skorsten. Sort-hvide billeder, mystisk lys og skæve kameravinkler er med til at øge stemningen af uhyggen i filmen, der efter både gys og grin ender godt for de to børn.
Director: Jesper W. Nielsen.
Cast: Stephania Potalivo, Inga Vendelbo.

Le printemps / Spring. 1971. DVD.

Le printemps / Spring. 1971. DVD.
FR. Un homme en fuite court à travers les bois. En parallèle, et sans qu’ils ne se croisent jamais, une petite fille grandit et découvre la vie. Ils se rejoindront par le sang, celui de la mort et celui de la puberté. Entre chasse à l’homme et éveil sexuel, le film met en scène le croisement de ces deux errances que tout semble séparer. Entre 1968 et 1972, Marcel Hanoun réalise quatre films (« L’Été », « L’Hiver », « Le Printemps » et « L’Automne »), dans lesquels, au fil des saisons, il aborde les sujets principaux de son œuvre : l’actualité, l’identité ou le processus de création. Dans « Le Printemps », unique film pour lequel ce cinéaste anticonformiste ait reçu une avance sur recettes du CNC, il interroge la question de l’identité à travers deux êtres opposés : un homme fuyant la mort et une jeune fille espiègle, à la découverte du monde et de son corps. Michael Lonsdale, comédien audacieux, incarne cet individu traqué et témoigne une nouvelle fois de son intérêt pour un cinéma d’avant-garde.
EN. One of four Hanoun films that take their titles from the seasons of the year, SPRING tells two parallel stories: a man, fleeing the forces of order, takes refuge in the forest, while a young girl living with her grandmother in a nearby village approaches the threshold of adolescence, and begins to discover both the world and herself.
Director: Marcel Hanoun.
Cast: Michael Lonsdale, Raymonde Godeau, Veronique Andries, Catherine Binet, Anne-Marie Ramier, Guy Bremond, Maurice Poullenot, Julien Etchevery, Jean-Baptiste Andries.
France, 1971.
