![]() Year: 1998 Country: France Actors and Actresses: Amy Gassama, Lisa Lucciardi, Abdramane Diakite, Benjamin Piat, Fiona Kendirian, Alex Ogou, Sofia Besnard Tags: boy skinny dip, girl skinny dip Review: From the director of Marius et Jeannette, this story of two working-class families is a fable with an optimist streak. A young black man, Francois, is wrongly accused of rape by a racist policeman. The story is told in voiceover by his childhood friend, neighbor, and the mother of his future child, Clementine, who is white. The city is Marseilles as in the previous film, symbolic with its churches, prisons and ruins. Except in this film, director Robert Guediguian also ventures outside, taking the story to Sarajevo; two different cities, one devastated by war, the other by a bad economy and unemployment. A la Place du coeur won a Special Jury Prize at the 1998 San Sebastian Film Festival and was also shown at the 1998 Toronto Film Festival and the 1998 Montreal Film Festival. - Gönül Dönmez-Colin, All Movie Guide Movie added at: 07.12.2024 |

Le doux pays de mon enfance Year: 2006 Country: France Actors and Actresses: Quentin Grosset, Thomas Doucet, Samad Chahet Tags: bathing boy Review: This the story of a guy who wanted to kill himself because no one would believe his name was Roger Joly. But Roger did in fact exist for 17 years. Until the day everything went to pieces. The court has declared that Roger Joly was in fact Aziz Bensala. A judge sentenced him to five years in prison for usurpation of identity, forgery and use of forgeries and swindling. So Roger tried to hang himself that very night with the bed sheets of his prison cell. It’s not the prison sentence that broke Aziz’s spirit. He was no stranger to prison. But this time, the court had rummaged through the life of this Roger he claimed to be. Piece by piece, the judge had analyzed the puzzle in minute detail, exposed the fraud and delivered his conclusions: Roger Joly was a fiction. The man was sent back to the illegal immigrant he didn’t want to be; to this Aziz Bensala, born near Gabès, Tunisia, who went to school barefoot and had a wretched childhood; who had arrived in Marseilles in the mid-70s, after his brother, to find work that didn’t exist back home; who wanted to become part of a country, a culture he admired, to the point of inventing a new identity. It’s a forgotten seat belt that hastened the end of the story. Movie added at: 20.11.2024 |

![]() Year: 1971 Country: USA Tags: bathing boy Review: In tiny Anarene, Texas, in the lull between World War Two and the Korean Conflict, Sonny and Duane are best friends. Enduring that awkward period of life between boyhood and manhood, the two pass their time the best way they know how -- with the movie house, basketball, and girls. Jacey is Duane's steady, wanted by every boy in school, and she knows it. Her daddy is rich and her mom is good looking and loose. It's the general consensus that whoever wins Jacey's heart will be set for life. But Anarene is dying a quiet death as folks head for the big cities to make their livings and raise their kids. The boys are torn between a future somewhere out there beyond the borders of town or making do with their inheritance of a run-down pool hall and a decrepit movie house -- the legacy of their friend and mentor, Sam the Lion. As high school graduation approaches, they learn some difficult lessons about love, loneliness, and jealousy. Then folks stop attending the second-run features at the movie house and the time comes for the last picture show. With the closure of the movie house, the boys feel that a stage of their lives is closing. They stand uneasily on the threshold of the rest of their lives. (The movie was adapted from the novel by Larry McMurtry). - Mark Fleetwood, IMDb Movie added at: 23.10.2024 |
