Bogie56 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Shekhar Kapur's Bandit Queen (1994) was my number three FF in a year full of quality. Seema Biswas plays the real life Phoolan Devi who born in a low caste suffered abuse in an arranged child marriage before taking control of her life and a measure of revenge as a bandit. After a career as a bandit Devi became an elected politician! I recommend this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Louis 19 Le Rois Des Ondes (1994) Michel ****, Canada is a rather lightweight comedy about a twit who agrees to have his life filmed 24/7 for a reality tv show. Of course he becomes a star. The was the basis for Ron Howard's EdTV (1999). Dominique Michel was the highlight as Louis' mother. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 The early 90's saw an explosion of good Asian cinema. While The Wooden Man’s Bride (1994) by Jianxin Huang of China is not up among the best of those films it does have a great concept. The young bride to be is in a caravan headed for the arranged wedding when it is attacked by bandits. A lowly caste man helps her escape and she naturally falls in love with him. When they arrive for the wedding she learns of the death of her groom but she is not so easily off the hook. Her mother-in-law forces her to marry a wooden effigy of her dead son. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogie56 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 I enjoyed the French Canadian C’etait le 12 du 12 Et Chili Avait Les Blues (1994) by Charles Biname. It all takes place in Montreal's railway station where passengers are stranded during a snow storm. Not unlike Union Depot (1932) with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Joan Blondell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhov Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Nation and Destiny - This rather well shot series was an attempt by the North to depict the outside world to its audience. Use of modern music and culture appear in this series (a giant poster to "Streets of Fire" is used for the street scenes set in South Korea). Films 5 to 8 deal with the composer Isang Yun who made his fame in West Germany after the war by composing many operas and concertos. He visited the North and was kidnapped by South Korea's version of the FBI and tortured after returning to West Berlin. Among the people who signed for his release were Igor Stravinsky, Otto Klemperer and György Ligeti. The depiction of his kidnapping is very cartoonish here with Isang Yun dangling over a vat of acid! Other depictions of the South include a bar filled with hippies that plays Beatles music and a street scene involving a massive 30 car pile up. This one was up on YouTube with English subs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
