Body: When I read the cover of Clean, directed by Olivier Assayas , my first thought was that it would be just another drug addiction story with a little boy lost. Much to my surprise, it was a very good film with some intensely acted parts that were well worth watching.Maggie Cheung, an apparent knockoff of Yoko Ono in looks, plays the role of Emily Wang. To say that she is not well liked would be diminishing the impact she has on people she is in contact with on a daily basis. She is nasty, self-absorbed, foul mouthed and sullen. Her partner, Lee Hauser, played briefly by James Johnston, is also a slave to his heroin addiction. His time on screen is short because the film really isn’t about him at all. The act of overdosing and subsequently dying is actually the catalyst for the remainder of the film.Emily and Lee have a son, Jay, played by James Dennis. He lives with his grandparents, Rosemary and Albrecht Hauser. Martha Henry is Rosemary, kind, gentle, and yet with an underlying hatred for Emily that is imparted to little Jay. Nick Nolte is Albrecht. I have to admit that I do not generally like Nick Nolte’s performances and tend to shy away from any films he is acting in. Once again I was pleasantly surprised this time around.The film centers on Emily and her journey towards once again being reunited with her son. She is incarcerated and upon her release, sets about cleaning up her life. One part of the film that was skimmed over was her ability to break the heroin addiction. In light of the difficulty involved in such a task, very little was mentioned and her success without relapse was omitted. She visits many old acquaintances during this process in order to find a decent job and prove her worth. As this occurs, we have the distinct pleasure of watching Albrecht enter the picture and converse with her. He is a rough looking man with a heart of gold, determined to reunite mother and son. He is old and as we discover further along in the film, his wife, Rosemary, is dying. He feels that his time is on this earth is also short, and thus he makes every effort to encourage Emily.Albrecht speaks in a soft, gravelly voice that immediately brings the audience into his thoughts and feelings. His eyes are a mirror to his soul and unlike his outward appearance, there is kindness and love. He is steadfast in his belief that Jay must be with his mother regardless of the tainted words his wife bestowed on her son.Once Emily has embraced her new life a reunion is scheduled with Jay. Complications arise when Jay is told of this meeting due solely to the belief he has adopted via the words of Rosemary. Once again, in my opinion, there is a gap in the logical sequence of events. The audience sees a stubborn little boy who accuses his mother of killing his father and before long, he has agreed to the meeting and adapts almost too easily for the logical mind to accept. On a brighter note, the impact of the role of Jay was right on target. It wasn’t sappy or contrived. The film could have, at this point, turned into a tear-jerker but for the excellent direction of Olivier, and the adherence to the actual point of the film.Overall, it was a good film that went by quickly without boredom setting in, but I wouldn’t say it was the best I have ever seen. It was essentially the same film as a hundred others yet enough of a twist to keep it interesting.

Body: I was very excited when I received this film because I had read a number of reviews regarding the film and they were all very postitive. Unfortunately, I cannot agree with what I have read. My main objection to the film comes directly from the horrible use of subtitles. White lettering on a white background is illegible. With that, I spent more time trying to figure out what had been said than actually watching the film. I would catch a word here and there but it became so disjointed that I lost interest in the entire film.Directed by Rolf de Heer, this original film has elements of interest and also confusing and slow moments. One of the highlights of the film is the cast who all are humorous and wise in their approach to life. The central characters are Birrinbirrin, played by Richard Birrinbirrin, Ridjimiraril played by Crusoe Kurddal, Minygululu, played by Peter Minygululu and Dayindi, played by Jamie Gulpili. Narrated by David Gulpili with a sharp entertaining lilt to his voice, the story unfolds of original aboriginal tribesmen. It is both a learning experience for those of us who have no knowledge their lives as well as culturally authentic in its presentation.Two stories intertwine, by employing the element of sight to distinguish the two. One tale is filmed in black and white, while the other is in color. It’s a very cleaver method and bodes well for understanding which story is which. In the color portion of the film there are sweeping views of the river which is a visual delight to watch.Dayindi covets one of the three wives of his much older brother Minygululu. This is unacceptable in this tradition bound culture so a lesson must be taught. Standards are to be upheld along with tradition therefore any deviation from the norm is quickly dispelled by those who are most revered. Another story line revolves around Ridjimiraril. A stranger enters their domain causing immediate action from the tribe members. Superstition abound in this culture so the appearance of this stranger not only causes concern, but also the belief that he has come with bad spirits. Ridjimiraril slays the stranger with a spear but his deed will not go without punishment. The members of the opposing tribe will carry out the ritualized punishment for such a heinous deed. Spears are thrown in an effort to draw blood from the guilty party as he dances back and forth to avoid being hit. He has a partner with him to support him.The highlight of all of that is that if the perpetrator is hit, then the tribe will not go to war with the offending person’s tribe. I have to say that it’s actually not a bad idea…one we might consider in this day and age. As I stated in the beginning of this review, this film was not to my liking. Yet I can appreciate having the opportunity to learn of the culture and be immersed in it for a time. Modern society is isolated from many of the traditions and norms of the past, be they factual or mythical. Broadening ones horizons to include what is not known can only benefit all of us in the long run. The elements of humor in this film where the highlight for me as well as the exquisite scenery. While I don’t feel this feel will appeal to a broad base of movie viewers, I believe it has a special place in the arena of film in general. Had the subtitles been a bit more legible, I might have had a different opinion on the film.

Body: No End In SightIn this superb documentary, directed by Charles Ferguson, the main theme is the question of what went wrong with the war in Iraq. It is a concise, unbiased view of the events in the Spring and Summer of 2003 and the decisions that were made that have ultimately led to the question of when, if ever, the war will end. Campbell Scott narrates in a voice that echoes the matter of fact collection of interviews, statistics, and occasional film clips that have culminated in the situation as it is in Iraq.I say unbiased only because of the nature of the film itself. As a documentary, it is an historical overview of the events which transpired from the perspective of those individuals who were actively participating in the series of events in Iraq. The fact that there are many absent interviews in the film from other principal characters only goes to show the underlying truth, that the entire war was a series of actions filled with incompetence.Candid observations by former state department officials Richard Armitage, Lawrence Wilkerson and Barbara Bodine are spoken in complete honesty. But where are President Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and all the others who turned a deaf ear on all of the reports and statistics that could have altered the course of the war? ORHA, Organization of Recovery and Humanitarian Assistance, headed by Jay Garner, was assembled to deal with the crisis in Iraq. They were sent to a country which was in total chaos and disarray, looting and violence escalating by the hour, without even the basic tools to accomplish their assignment. Their first hand observations and suggestions were ignored thus rendering them incapable of working effectively towards restoring civility in a country rife with incendiary behavior. Jay Garner, during his interview, exemplifies the frustration and sadness he felt as he was basically undermined by those on the sidelines who believed their method was better than his and his group.Enter Paul Bremer. The ORHA was no longer and the new group, CPA began operations. The Coalition Provisional Authority was formed in May of 2003 heralding the beginning of a series of costly mistakes that would shape the future of the war. Bear in mind that a National Intelligence Report was drawn up and presented prior to this that highly recommended that there be no war with Iraq to begin with. The most startling element of this is that President Bush did not even read the report, let alone the simple one page synopsis.

]]>Sun, 19 Aug 2007 15:55:45 GMTmarincatmarincat Blog8/19/2007 11:55:45 AMNo End In SightIn this superb documentary, directed by Charles Ferguson, the main theme is the question of what went wrong with the war in Iraq. It is a concise, unbiased view of the events in the Spring and Summer of 2003 and the decisions that were made that have ultimately led to the question of when, if ever, the war will end. Campbell Scott narrates in a voice that echoes the matter of fact collection of interviews, statistics, and occasional film clips that have culminated in the situation as it is in Iraq.I say unbiased only because of the nature of the film itself. As a documentary, it is an historical overview of the events which transpired from the perspective of those individuals who were actively participating in the series of events in Iraq. The fact that there are many absent interviews in the film from other principal characters only goes to show the underlying truth, that the entire war was a series of actions filled with incompetence.Candid observations by former state department officials Richard Armitage, Lawrence Wilkerson and Barbara Bodine are spoken in complete honesty. But where are President Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and all the others who turned a deaf ear on all of the reports and statistics that could have altered the course of the war? ORHA, Organization of Recovery and Humanitarian Assistance, headed by Jay Garner, was assembled to deal with the crisis in Iraq. They were sent to a country which was in total chaos and disarray, looting and violence escalating by the hour, without even the basic tools to accomplish their assignment. Their first hand observations and suggestions were ignored thus rendering them incapable of working effectively towards restoring civility in a country rife with incendiary behavior. Jay Garner, during his interview, exemplifies the frustration and sadness he felt as he was basically undermined by those on the sidelines who believed their method was better than his and his group.Enter Paul Bremer. The ORHA was no longer and the new group, CPA began operations. The Coalition Provisional Authority was formed in May of 2003 heralding the beginning of a series of costly mistakes that would shape the future of the war. Bear in mind that a National Intelligence Report was drawn up and presented prior to this that highly recommended that there be no war with Iraq to begin with. The most startling element of this is that President Bush did not even read the report, let alone the simple one page synopsis. When questioned about the report, it was dismissed as guesswork.That being said, those in power proceeded with the purging of the Ba’ath Party and the dismantling of the Iraq army. The latter of which escalated the free for all that turned the country into utter chaos. The men of the army were demoted to regular citizens but with one very distinct difference, they still had their guns in their hands.

Body: The original European version of The Vanishing is superb. The role of the villain, as you said, is absolutely fascinating and that particular movie has stayed with me for years. I tend to view it as the ultimate foreign horror film because so many aspects, like music, acting, scenery, all so well meshed together. It all adds up to a complete package and well worth watching time and again.

Body: Carol’s JourneyBased on a novel by Angel Garcia Roldan, Carol’s Journey is a bright spot in the independent film industry. Directed by Imanol Uribe, this film is brimming with emotion, superb acting and just the right combination of humor and irony to satisfy just about any audience.The setting is 1938 at the end of the Spanish Civil War, in a country divided by loyalties and politics. Aurora, played by Maria Barranco, is the mother of a 12 year old daughter named Carol. While Carol was born in the United States, her mother takes her back to Spain for reasons not yet known. Thus begins the turbulent journey of Carol.Carol is played by Clara Lago an absolutely exquisite girl with eyes as big as saucers and talent bursting at the seams. She is a tomboy at heart, stubborn, and rebellious. Yet what she is ultimately, is a survivor. The events of her life, at such a young age, could challenge even the most mature of us, yet she continues to perservere and does so successfully.She is immediately the apple of her grandfather’s eyes, superbly portrayed by Alvaro de Luna. Grandpa, a retired professor, takes in his granddaughter with kindness and gentleness and an enormous amount of patience. He is called Don Amalio, respected in the community although his political beliefs are ultimately axed by the reign of Franco.One of the early encounters Carol experiences is with a group of three boys, all of them set on giving her grief. Little did they know who they had encountered. She can hold her own with them and before long, she has caught the eye of Tomiche, played by Juan Jose Ballesta. Theirs in a relationship of innocence, two youngster coming together from opposite sides of the monetary world. Tomiche kills birds to help feed his family while Carol needs for nothing. Their innocence is both touching and sincere. Rosa Maria Sarda is Maruja, the beloved member of the community. She helps to educate the youngsters and has an impact on both Tomiche and Carol. Her love for the children is evident in her method of teaching as well as her sense of humor.Slowly the path of Carol’s journey unfolds as one incident after another strikes her previously normal life. Her mother’s reason for returning to Spain is that she is dying. When her mother dies, she is carted off to live with her aunt and uncle which is not much to Carol’s liking. Her tenacity brings her back to her grandfather and her life is once again better.The true love of Carol’s life is her father, a pilot. Robert makes a memorable contribution to the delightful part of the film when he flies his plane over Carol’s party and drops off a gift. The films tragic and bittersweet ending is a testament to the power of hope, the strength to not only to survive, but to live. I have seen many, many films and have been touched by them, but this particular film has stayed in my mind since the night I watched it. In my mind, there was no acting in this film, the characters were real. Emotions and actions were all true to life as we all know life to be. I saw no performance weaknesses but rather a cast who were actually living the story. It doesn’t even come close to sappy although I didn’t have a dry eye by the conclusion. While it would be easy to throw this film into the coming of age category, I believe that would be a mistake. It is a raw representation of what life deals to us and how we all face the events and the consequences. I highly recommend this film.

With a movie based on an outstanding book, I find that either too much or not enough is shown. For me it is best to see the movie first and then read the book.

Body: Long Life, Happiness and ProsperityIn a word, this film is cute. From the opening scene to the last blissful shot, it is filled with antics, surprises, and touching moments. Directed by Mina Shum, it essentially tells a modern day fairy tale that incorporates the lives of three different families and their unintentional connection to one another. Sandra Oh, better known for her performance in the television series Grey’s Anatomy and the film Under The Tuscan Sun, is Kin Lo Lum. Her husband has left her and she is in a situation where she must work to support both herself and her daughter, Mindy. Mindy is played by Valerie Tian, an adorable 12 year old who has only the best interests in mind when she attempts to make life better for she and her mother. Connected to this family scenario is one where Bing Lai, played by Ric Young, struggles to accept the fact that his father is no longer in contact with him. He has been a disappointment to him and all of his letters are never opened. He perpetuates the ruse by having his work associate make phone calls pretending to be the father. Bing’s son Nelson, is expected to take over the family business but what his father doesn’t know is that he wishes to become a Buddhist monk.The third family involved in this film is a night watchman, Shuck who loses his job and contemplates suicide. He is expertly played by Chang Tseng whose face is filled with pathos and age. He has lost sight of his marriage, and wants desperately to continue working. It is more a matter of honor than a financial one.This film is predictable, no doubt about that, but it is still amusing and a great escape from the troubles of life as we know it. The acting is excellent, the crafting by director Mina Shum is meticulous. There are moments of great humor, particularly when the love potion Mindy concocts falls into the wrong hands. What should have been her mother’s entrée into a love affair with Alvin, her co-worker, quickly becomes a humorous attachment with Alvin and another man. Another well acted scene is one in which Kin, whose second job is being a night telephone psychic, becomes completely flustered and can’t quite remember what she’s supposed to say to the caller. Since it is so predictable, all of the necessary elements are in place. Anger, sadness, despair, near death, and ultimately a happy ending are all squeezed into this short film much to the chagrin of film critics world-wide. I have to take exception to this because the film does have redeeming qualities and it’s just plain old fun. It’s not really different from many other films, yet the way it is formulated gives it an edge that makes you smile. Some of the critical reviews pertained to the fact that the cast was of mixed Asian performers, some of the misrepresentation of the culture, but from an outsiders view, it was still entertaining. In summing up, if you want to just sit back and watch a cute movie, then try this one some night. It’s not a waste of time nor is it one of the best films out there. It’s just there for your entertainment and what is lacking in the meat of the film is more than made up for by the assorted cast of characters. Mina Shum’s first film, winner of a multitude of awards, Double Happiness, was one of those first films that just ignited the critics in a powerful way. Unfortunately this third film didn’t meet with expectations and was panned unnecessarily as so often happens in these situations. Again, I suggest you give it a go…have some fun.
