Bogie56 Posted February 25 Satyajit Ray's Ganashatru (1989) is perfectly suited for India. It is based on Ibsen's Enemy of the People. Soumitra Chatterjee (above right) plays a doctor who is confronted with an outbreak of jaundice in his community. He identifies the source as the water from the Temple. But his attempts to close the Temple meets with resistance as it draws people from all over the area and is a source of income for the community. Commerce and Religion vs. environmental concerns. This was my number two FF. Recommended. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted February 25 Alain Resnais' I Want to Go Home (1989) is a multi-lingual film. Wikipedia says that it is predominately in English. Frankly, I couldn't remember the balance and it wasn't high on my list anyway. American lyricist Adolph Green (right) plays a cartoonist visiting Paris and attending a gallery show that includes his work. He is also there to try to patch things up with his daughter. Gerard Depardieu (left) also stars. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted February 26 A Better Tomorrow Part III (1989) Hark Tsui, Hong Kong. Apparently this is a prequel to the first two Better Tomorrow's that John Woo directed. According to Wikipedia Woo had a hand in writing Part III before he dropped out and the script has many similarities to his Bullet In the Head (1990). Not great but Chow Yun-Fat is always fun to watch. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gershwin fan Posted February 26 Violent Sh1t- This low quality German horror film is the epitome of so bad it is good. "Karl the Butcher-Sh1tter" (yes, that is his actual name) goes crazy and kills his mom. Years later, he breaks out of prison to kill again. He uses a chainsaw that isn't even plugged in and his victims are inexplicably covered in ketchup (blood)! This one is so terrible it must be seen to be believed. The script writing is also top notch with such great line readings as "Fu-king dammit sh1t! Sh1t! What am I doing here, anyway? Sh1t! This bullsh1tting job is fu-king me to sh1ts!" This one got four just as bad sequels. Recommended. Ilha das Flores - I decided to check this one out because it is in the Brazilian edition of the 1001 Movies book and is only 13 minutes. It follows the life of a spoiled tomato from being picked to served to discarded in the trash and sent to the garbage island (isle of flowers). This one uses a blend of live action and Monty Python style cut out animation. Meh.... 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
