![]() Year: 1979 Country: Sweden Actors and Actresses: Jonna Liljendahl, Liv Alsterlund, Kerstin Hansson, Cecilia Orlando-Willberg Tags: bathing girl Review: This was made from a mini-series. A girl (Jonna Liljendahl) of about nine years of age is the focus. Watch her as she hangs out with her friends, tries to understand boys, gets in trouble with her parents, and a lot more. Thoroughly charming as well as entertaining. - CVMC Movie added at: 31.08.2013 |

![]() Year: 1972 Country: Italy, Spain Actors and Actresses: Lara Wendel Review: The plot revolves around a series of murders committed by an unknown assailant intent on keeping the deaths of a small child and her father unsolved. As is the case with most gialli, there's a detective one step behind the murderer, a lush and creepy music score (this time by Morricone), a houseful of suspects, creative and illogical murders, and a downbeat and melancholy plot. What elevates this one above all the others made in that banner year for the genre (1971), though, is the detail given to the script and production. The characters are all fully formed and functional to the story, which itself is well thought-out and clever. The resolution is well-handled, and even if the killer's identity is impossible to guess beforehand, the means in which he (or she) is finally discovered will make you smile. Add to this one of the saddest musical-score main themes in movie history, featuring a woman's voice singing a haunting child's melody, and you have a giallo that fans of the genre should definitely not miss.

![]() Year: 1981 Country: Switzerland, West Germany, Austria Actors and Actresses: Laurent Pahud, Simone Hauke Tags: bathing boy, bathing girl Review: During World War II, Switzerland severely limited refugees: "Our boat is full." A train from Germany halts briefly in an isolated corner of Switzerland. Six people jump off seeking asylum: four Jews, a French child, and a German soldier. They seek temporary refuge with a couple who run a village inn. They pose as a family: the deserter as husband, Judith as his wife, an old man from Vienna as her father, his granddaughter and the French lad, whom they beg to keep silent, as their children. Judith's teenage brother poses as a soldier. The fabrication unravels through chance and the local constable's exact investigation. Whom will the Swiss allow to stay? Who gets deported? - IMDb Movie added at: 31.08.2013 |

![]() Year: 1998 Country: Finland, Sweden Actors and Actresses: Unna Kitti, Sari Havukainen, Inka Vogt, Elena Leeve, Elsa Saisio Tags: bathing girl Review: Twin sisters Helena and Irene are born in Helsinki during World War II. A few months later their mother Sirkka leaves the girls in the care of their grandmother, an old Communist, and runs away with a German soldier. Their life under the protection of their grandmother and the teachings of communism ends first with the death of Stalin, then with that of their grandmother. The girls are eight years old when they are put in an orphanage. Their mother shows up at the orphanage in the company of Ramon, a Spanish trapeze artist. They are on a talent search for a German circus. Ramon trains the reluctant Irene during circus tours in Central Europe, and she becomes the trapeze star of the circus. The hard work soon exhausts Irene and she falls from heights, as if on purpose. Helena has secretly learned the art of fire-eating. Now she is burdened with both her mother and her sister. The violent life, however, separates the three from one another. In present-day Helsinki, middle-aged Helena has looked into her past, ceased to hate, and now, for the first time in her life, voluntarily accepts responsibility for another human being. - IMDb Movie added at: 31.08.2013 |
