 A CasaYear: 1997 Country: Lithuania, Portugal, France Actors and Actresses: Greta Sapkaite Review: Like its predecessor Few of Us, Lithuanian cult film director Sarunas Bartas's The House is highly abstract and nearly silent but for a pair of narrators. Whereas the first film was primarily centered on life in a remote mountain village in Lithuania and had loose plot, this one pays tribute to a huge, and aging lakeside manor and is plotless. The narrators speak to an unseen mother and the house may or may not be the fantasy or dream of one of its many diverse residents. For much of the film's two-hour running time, these inhabitants, who reflect people of varying races, shapes, sizes, degrees of attractiveness and ages, are seen aimlessly wandering about looking sad and exhausted. Sometimes, some of the prettier female residents will doff their clothing. Meal times are particularly morose as no one speaks or pays each other any mind at all. It is only toward the end of the film that anything substantial occurs. It happens during a masked ball and is a commentary on the Soviet takeover of Lithuania and a heartfelt prayer for the preservation of Lithuanian local cultures. While there is not much of interest in the story, the beautiful cinematography, which utilized a palette of pale colors and natural lighting and employed largely stationary imagery punctuated by the occasional slow tracking shot, helps maintain viewer interest. - Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide Movie added at: 31.08.2013 |

 Den store badedagYear: 1991 Country: Sweden, Denmark Actors and Actresses: Benjamin Rothenborg Vibe Review: Looking back on his childhood, the man in this film narrates the story of one of his life's major turning points. As a boy living in Copenhagen in the '30s, he had always looked up to his father, an odd, loving, and at times overwhelming man. He was particularly in awe of the adventures his father had on the Argentine pampas. One day, his father causes a ruckus at the zoo by claiming the llamas there aren't the genuine article because then didn't spit at him. Not long after that, he invites some new neighbors to join him and his family on an excursion to the beach. Inadvertently, as he listens to his father conversing with these new acquaintances, he figures out that his father's great claims were all made up. - Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide Movie added at: 31.08.2013 |

 La prima AngélicaYear: 1974 Country: Spain Actors and Actresses: María Clara Fernández de Loaysa Review: While traveling from Barcelona to recover his mother's remains, Luis (Juan Luis Lopez Vazquez) suffers an incredibly vivid flashback to 1936 Segovia as it was on the eve of the Spanish Civil War. In this Spanish film, everything but Luis repeatedly reverts to its 1936 condition. Again and again, things remind him of his stay there, and each time the movie returns him to the '30s. - Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide Movie added at: 31.08.2013 |

 Chuzhaya belaya i ryaboyYear: 1986 Country: Soviet Union Actors and Actresses: Vyacheslav Ilyushchenko Tags: bathing boy Review: In this intriguing drama, the disenfranchised residents of a small town in Kazakistan in 1946 form the social backdrop for a young boy's awakening to poverty and reality. Vania's father is an artist who came back from World War II with a brain injury and only one arm, both of which take their toll. A woman whom his father loves cannot adjust to a life without her husband (who left her) and succumbs to the effects of depression. Meanwhile, the townspeople have one source of enjoyment: they capture and sell pigeons in a kind of competitive one-upmanship. When Vania finds a white dove, he is especially excited; he has just beat out everyone else with this unusual specimen. But the dove is stolen and the consequences lead to some new lessons for a young boy who is already beset with problems. - Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide Movie added at: 31.08.2013 |
