Menuet / Minuet. 1982.

Menuet / Minuet. 1982.
Menuet is a 1982 Belgian-Dutch drama film directed by Lili Rademakers. The film was selected as the Belgian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 55th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
A young husband and wife live at close quarters in a small industrial town, where he works in the basement of a brewery, but she has designs on moving up in the world. The husband is fixated on keeping clippings of news stories about bizarre crimes and accidents - stories that are visually portrayed alongside the ordinary family dynamics. Aside from the young couple, a 14-year-old girl is there to help out with the household chores, and her detached spying on all covert activities (she observes the wife being raped by the brother-in-law) has a chilling undertone. Meanwhile, the morbid side of the husband draws him to the 14-year-old, and desires that had been dormant begin to surface. The couple, their relatives, and the domestic certainly seem trapped in a labyrinth that has no end.
Director: Lili Rademakers.
Cast: Akkemay, Lydia Billiet, Theu Boermans, Dirk Celis, Herman Coessens, Juliette Van de Sompel, Juliette De Witte, Katrien Devos, Hubert Fermin, Dany Geys, Carla Hardy, Viviane de Muynck, Ingrid Pollet, Jenny Tanghe.

Løperjenten / Betrayal / Kamilla. 1981. HD.

Løperjenten / Betrayal / Kamilla. 1981. HD.
NO. En familie i oppløsning, sett gjennom datterens øyne.
Familien er Vibeke Løkkebergs tema. I filmene blir vi kjent med familier som kjemper, ofte mot seg selv. Løkkeberg lar kameraet gli ned til de uskyldige og svakeste i konfliktene, barna. Løperjenten er en slik film.
Lille Kamilla bor i etterkrigstidens Bergen. Hennes far, Sverre Konradsen (Helge Jordal), er en konkurs fabrikkeier som vil til Amerika for å starte på ny. Med seg på planene får han Siri, en ung kvinne som overtar både arbeid og sengeplass, mens kona Lisa (Løkkeberg) blir overlatt til den finere kjøpmannen Nilsen. Han er også interessert i pengene Sverre tjente under krige
Dette er en hjerteskjærende, vakker og rystende skildring av etterkrigstidens Bergen, sett gjennom lille Kamillas øyne, laget av en av Norges mest særegne regissører. Filmen ble i 1995 satt på UNESCOs liste over Norges 15 mest betydningsfulle filmer.
EN. 1. Betrayal is set in Bergen in the year 1948. Seven-year-old Kamilla (Løkkeberg) growing up in Bergen, Norway just after the 2nd world war, is trying to deal with the father's adultery and mother's deep depression, as she befriends a boy. This endangers her.
2. Kamilla was originally released in Sweden in 1981, then made the specialty-house rounds in the US four years later. Nina Knapskog is astonishingly perceptive as the 7-year-old daughter of bitterly battling parents. Seeking an escape from the vitriol, Nina develops of friendship with a lonely little boy. Together the kids form a united front against the nastiness and callousness of the rest of the world. Echoes of the earlier child's eye view foreign classic Forbidden Games are inescapable, but the sheer virtuosity of Kamilla enables it to stand on its own lofty merits.
Director: Vibeke Løkkeberg.
Cast: Nina Knapskog, Kenneth Johansen, Helge Jordal, Vibeke Løkkeberg, Cato Alvær, Borge Berggreen, Charles Alvær, Torunn Berggreen, Johnny Bergh, Philip J. Borgli, Karin Zetlitz Haerem.

La tía Alejandra / Aunt Alejandra. 1979. HD.

La tía Alejandra / Aunt Alejandra. 1979. HD.
ES. La tía Alejandra es una película mexicana de horror dirigida por Arturo Ripstein. Fue estrenada en 1979, protagonizada por Isabela Corona y Diana Bracho.
La trama se sustenta en la llegada a un hogar familiar, formado por dos padres y sus tres hijos, de la anciana tía del marido. Una mujer en principio cariñosa que sufre graves cambios de humor, que se recluye en su habitación con bastante regularidad y que parece estar rodeada por un aura de misterio que causa rechazo en el mayor de los hijos y no hace más que traer desgracias a la casa desde su llegada. La Tía posee una fortuna que seguramente ayudará a sus parientes, pero en realidad empieza a destruir a toda la familia en forma diabólica, pues intenta enseñar brujería a los niños. Cuando uno de ellos le hace travesuras provoca su muerte, y cuando su sobrino la echa de la casa lo ahoga en su propia cama. Luego la niña mayor le quema el rostro y ella hace que se incendie una habitación completa con la niña dentro. Solo sobrevive la esposa y la hija pequeña, pero esta parece haber aprendido los secretos de la Tía...
EN. La Tía Alejandra (Aunt Alejandra) is a Mexican horror film of 1979, starring Isabela Corona.
The plot is based on the arrival of Aunt Alejandra to a familiar household consisting of two parents and three children. A woman who is loving, in principle, suffers severe mood swings and strange things happen in her room quite regularly and that seems to be surrounded by an aura of mystery. Rejected by the eldest child, she only serves to bring misfortune to them since coming home. Auntie has a fortune that will surely help her relatives, but really begins to destroy the whole family with diabolical acts, and attempts to teach children witchcraft. When one of the children mocks her, she caused his death. When her nephew dismisses of his house, she chokes him in his own bed. When the older girl burns her face, Alejandra burns an entire room with the girl inside. Only surviving Lucía, the wife, and her young daughter, but she seems to have learned the secrets of Alejandra...
La Tía Alejandra is a curious and unusual, a rarity in the genre of Mexican Cinema. Not strictly a horror film, but conveys concern in many of its passages. It is not explicit in what it shows but rightly fiddles with witchcraft, curses, black Magic and Satanism. Not when graphic violence on screen display, but in a subtle way the sample with an elegant ferocity that causes discomfort even viewer. The staging of Ripstein is austere. But his control over the narrative tempo is excellent. With the atmosphere and the magnetic presence of a large Isabela Corona that from a physical get feeble and helpless to convey a menacing tone that seems unfeasible but for the good work between director and actress.
Director: Arturo Ripstein.
Cast: Diana Bracho, Isabela Corona, Manuel Ojeda, María Rebeca, Lilian Davis, Adonay Somoza Jr., Juan José Espinoza, Humberto Vilches, María Barber, Ignacio Retes, Ana María Hernández.

Dårfinkar & dönickar / Nutcases & Normals. 6 Episodes. 1988-1989.

Dårfinkar & dönickar / Nutcases & Normals. 6 Episodes. 1988-1989.
Found a good quality version of this miniseries.
SE. Dårfinkar & dönickar är en svensk barn- och ungdomsserie som ursprungligen sändes i SVT under perioden 25 december 1988,-29 januari 1989 efter Ulf Starks bok med samma namn från 1984. Den har visats i repris flera gånger och finns sedan 2008 utgiven på DVD.
Simone är en flicka i 12-årsåldern. När hennes mamma flyttar ihop med nye killen Yngve och hennes hund Kilroy försvinner i själva flytten så klipper hon av sig håret i protest. I den nya skolan som hon börjar blir hon av misstag från början tagen för att vara kille och heta Simon, en situation som hon finner sig i direkt. Ganska snabbt blir hon accepterad av klassens övriga grabbar, och blir även föremål för tjejernas intresse, något som får vissa konsekvenser i hennes omgivning. Simones oförmåga att kunna förklara kombinerat med mammans och Yngves oförmåga att kunna förstå bäddar för komplikationer.
EN. Simone has just moved to a new town with her mother and it is the first day of school...a new school. Her mom bugs her about her hair and Simone simply cuts it of so that it looks boyish like. When she gets to school and the teacher calls up her name she thinks that there has been a misunderstanding so instead of calling Simone she calls Simon. Simone doesn't understand at first but then she answers and just like that everybody thinks she's a boy, all because of that hairdo. The story continues with what she has to deal with being a new kid and all, she falls in love...with a boy of course.

 FR.
Frédérique et Anne Weber, respectivement âgées de 15 et 13 ans, retrouvent les bancs du lycée Jules-Ferry, à Paris, en cette rentrée de septembre 1963. La vie reprend son cours, même si cette année s'annonce différente des précédentes. Frédérique et Anne ne voient en effet plus guère leur père depuis le divorce de leurs parents. Et leur mère, chargée de leur éducation, ne parvient pas toujours à gagner leur confiance. Proches, mais déjà distantes, les deux adolescentes suivent chacune leur voie. Frédérique ne parle que de «surboums», écrit beaucoup à son flirt et commence, confusément, à s'éveiller aux réalités du monde. Anne, irritée d'être la cadette et de n'être encore point femme, se montre plus solitaire et se réfugie dans la lecture...
EN. Peppermint Soda (French: Diabolo menthe) is a 1977 French film directed by Diane Kurys. This autobiographical film was her directorial debut, and it won the Prix Louis-Delluc. The high school where the film takes place is the Lycée Jules-Ferry in Paris, France.
In the fall of 1963, Anne is becoming a teenager. She lives in Paris with her mother and her older sister, Frédérique. They're just back from summer at the beach with their father. School starts. For Frédérique it's the year of her first serious love, her first foray into politics (the Algerian question and "ban the bomb"), her first kiss from an older man, her first friend who runs away, and her first loss of friendship over values. For Anne, who watches her sister closely, it's a year of her first period and of learning to talk to boys, dealing with unfair teachers, and sorting things out with mom after getting in trouble.
