My Beautiful Country

Love - the mother of an ideological opponent who has been imprisoned is led to believe he is in America. This was a bit touching in places but kind of bored me.
\
Yesenia - This movie from Mexico is about a carefree gypsy and a strict military man who fall in love. This one is a sappy drama. I didn't really care for it.

When We Pick Apples - Kye Ok and Jong Ok are sisters who work at the same apple orchard. Jong Ok wishes to not waste any apples and considers it shocking to see so many fallen apples rotting on the ground and makes up her mind to save more of them for the people, as required by the party whereas Kye Ok cares more about her husband and individual life than helping and tending to the apple orchard. This movie is about conserving resources and sharing them with everyone as opposed to wasting and disregarding like in "the old Feudal order." The girls' grandfather even reminds them of how he used to be a slave whose children were killed by the old Feudal lord of the region. The work team leader and Kye Ok both receive criticism for “forgetting the orders of the Father Leader." This movie is about criticizing ideological imperfections and is a very stiff movie. Is worth a look if you want to see how self criticism in the secluded country is viewed.

Lulu the Tool - A worker is wounded while on the job. This leads him to fight for better worker rights in his factory. This is a very good for Gian Maria Volonte, an actor known for spaghetti westerns. The composer Morricone has a cameo near the end of this.

How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman - This movie is based off of the life of Hans Staden. A Frenchman is captured by the Portuguese who are in turn attacked by a warring tribe. The tribe believes the Frenchman to be Portuguese and argue over whether they should eat him. The Frenchman says if they eat him his God will be mad. This movie is a very authentic recreation of the time period and is very well made. The entire movie is mostly Tupi, the native language of this very tribe. It is definitely worth a look.

One of my favorite directors is David Lynch. I particularly like Twin Peaks.
David Lynch meets a fan. I'm not exactly sure of the context either.

Yeah, i saw this one on Svengoolie too and was disappointed. Too much of the film was just people walking around and nothing happening. When the werewolf does show up it's just a dog and there's no transformation scene. Lame.

Yours Sincerely - Condensed version of the Rodgers and Hart musical "Spring is Here." A resort owner tries to marry off his daughter to a man he believes is a millionaire. Meanwhile, an actual millionaire pursues his other daughter. I liked this one and it had some catchy songs. The two leads had beautiful singing voices but the guy who sings Terry was pretty bad. Overall I liked it.

It could be "the Strange Life of Dr. Frankenstein" from 2018 which is premiering on October 22nd. Yeah, I know not a good guess but the film looks too recent to be anything else from this month.

Have you seen The Story of Film? TCM did run it 5 years back and I found it very interesting. Some people felt the host (Cousins) was anti Hollywood \ American films, but I didn't get that impression. Yea, he did focus on foreign cinema, but that was what I found most interesting since I lacked knowledge in that area. So this series motivated me to seek out films beyond the American studio-era. (which leads to a very common debate: how much of TCM's programming should be set aside for NON American studio-era films).
I think Cousins was a bit biased against Hollywood films in that documentary. He seemed to imply that the Studio era was all just cookie cutter genre movies and Europe was all deep philosophical films and of course, we know that is not the case. I also didn't like how he included out of context clips all over the place, like clips from the silent era in an episode on 40s films and clips of 80s movies in an episode on the 60s. I do however like the effort he put into it with interviewing actors, directors, filmmakers, etc. from all over the globe!

That's definitely a good one with Boris Karloff as the evil butler.
