FILMS SEEN ON SUNDAY 28 OCTOBER 2007
1.SAVIOUR’S SQUARE (2006, Joanna Kos + Krzysztof Krauze, Poland, A+)
2.BAMAKO (2006, Abderrahmane Sissako, Mali, A+)
3.ANTONIA’S LINE (1995, Marleen Gorris, A+)
4.IT WILL STAY BETWEEN US (2004, Miro Sindelka, C-)
MY FEELINGS:
--I think it might be interesting to compare MIRACLE ON 1ST STREET (2007, Yun Je-gyun, South Korea, A+) with DALLAS AMONG US (2005, Robert Adrian Pejo, Hungary, A-/B+), because both films talk about a guy who tries to help slum people. I think DALLAS AMONG US is more coherent, and may be more realistic than MIRACLE ON 1ST STREET, but I don't understand why I feel much more involved in MIRACLE ON 1ST STREET than in DALLAS AMONG US, or maybe the directors of these two films have different purposes in making their films.
--What I like very much in SAVIOUR'S SQUARE and LA CALIFORNIE is that both films make me feel as if their characters are very real. It's hard for me to judge the characters in these two films whether they are right or wrong, good or bad. Sometimes I disagree with what the characters in these two films do, but it's hard for me to hate them.
FAVORITE SCENE
LA CALIFORNIE
--The scene when a gay character tries to kiss Roschy Zem

I just want to add that LA CALIFORNIE sometimes makes me think about Fassbinder’s films. But if LA CALIFORNIE is directed by Fassbinder, I think the tone of the film would be more satirical, not as naturalistic as this.
