Der Krieger und die Kaiserin (2000)
One of the best movies I have seen this year (close to 150!!)
This movie was shown in Belleville last evening by the Quinte Film Alternative. It is one of the best movies I have seen this year. Written and directed by Tom Tykwer, who gave us "Run Lola Run" a couple of years ago, it stars the same great actress, Franka Potente. Is life a series of coincidences? or are the fates organizing our lives? In either case, can we change them? The action of the movie (and there is a lot) takes place mostly in an asylum where Sissi has grown up, and in a bank which her unwilling boyfriend Benno is attempting to rob (with his brother, Walter). There is much interaction and reaction between the participants in this mystery-drama-romance. It is a movie I want to see again - I hope you will too! Pay attention to everything which happens! It is all important to the final resolution!
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Awesome and awe-inspiring; magnificent and marvellous!
Peter Jackson is a wizard!! How else could he know what was in my mind? As I sat, enthralled by the images flashing before me, I was transported to Middle Earth. I could actually feel what was taking place on the screen. Time does not allow for a complete review - I must try to compose more at a later date. I'm waiting for Parts 2 and 3; (and off to see Part 1 again!).
Dayereh (2000)
Do not see this movie if you are already depressed!
Where's the Prozac?! After 90 minutes of one of the saddest movies I have ever seen, I felt lucky that I don't live in a country that treats half of its population so badly! Kudos to the film makers for their vision and temerity!
