description:
"An experimental documentary directed by acclaimed Russian filmmaker Alexander Sokurov, Dolce takes its inspiration from the life and death of the widely respected Japanese writer Toshio Shimao. Although Shimao is the ostensible subject of Sokurov's film, much of its emphasis rests on Shimao's widow, Miho, and her loving relationship with her handicapped daughter Maya." (AMG)

Wake Up, Mate, Don't You Sleep
d. Miklos Jancso
c. Hungary
y. 2002
description:
"Miklós Jancsó's Kelj Fel, Komán, Ne Aludjál (Wake Up, Mate, Don't You Sleep) takes a satiric look at how Hungary dealt with the Jews in the time of World War II. The film begins with Kapa (Zoltan Mucsi) and Pepe (Peter Scherer) being swept up by authorities into a group of Jews. The fourth wall breaks down, and the characters begin complaining to Jancsó about the making of the film. Eventually the picture turns into a series of satirical blackout scenes that are unrelated apart from their inherent Hungarianism." (AMG)

y. 2001
description:
"After their success in Nekem Lampast Adott Kezembe Az Ur Pesten and Anyad! A Szunyogok, Zoltan Musci and Peter Scherer make their third appearance together as dancing grave diggers Kapa and Pepe in this idiosyncratic musical comedy. As Kapa and Pepe pass their time in Heroes' Square in Budapest, they find themselves confronted by members of a number of political and social groups, including a gang of Hungarian wiseguys, a handful of right-wing extremists, and a faction of leftist radicals. But no matter how hard they try, Kapa and Pepe can't seem to fit in with any of them, finding their dancing works best on its own. Utolso Vacsora Az Arabs Szurkenel was directed by veteran filmmaker Miklos Jansco, who was 80 years old when the film was released." (AMG)

Every Night
d. Eugene Green
c. France
y. 2001
description:
"Eugene Green, an expatriate American living in France, made his debut as a director and screenwriter with this film, based on a story by Gustave Flaubert. In 1967, Henri (Alexis Loret and Jules (Adrien Michaux) are close friends who have grown up together in a small town in the French countryside. But as they turn 17, they begin to follow different paths in life; Henri moves to Paris to go to college, while Jules stays behind to concentrate on a career as a writer. Henri becomes involved with Emilie (Christelle Prot), the wife of one of his professors, and in time they decide to run away together to the United States, leaving Paris just in time to miss the May 1968 student uprisings. Henri maintains a steady correspondence with Jules, and when Henri and Emilie go their separate ways, she stays in touch with Jules, and they become close confidantes through the mail without ever meeting face to face. Toutes Les Nuits became a surprising critical and modest commercial success after being released independently in France, with early screenings advertised only through invitation postcards." (AMG)

Brasilia 18%
d. Nelson Pereira dos Santos
c. Brazil
y. 2006
description:
"Coroner Dr. Olavo Bilac (Carlos Alberto Riccelli) returns to Brasilia from Los Angeles to perform an autopsy on the body of Eugenia Camara (Karine Carvalho), a young woman working in politics who was believed to be having affairs with prominent men and murdered by her jealous boyfriend. After leaving the airport the doctor is reintroduced to the wealthy, casually corrupt world of Brazilian politics at a swank party. It soon becomes clear that the powers-that-be expect him to positively identify the body without asking any questions, even though DNA tests haven't proven that the body is Eugenia's. At the party he is seduced by Georgesand Romero (Malu Mader), whose powerful and well-connected family appears to be implicated in the disappearance of Camara. The next morning Bilac decides, to everyone's shock, that he will not immediately ID the body and will conduct an investigation into its real identity, Camara's whereabouts, and the political scandal that seems to lie beneath the mystery. He comes under increasing pressure and threats to halt his investigation and struggles to reconcile the youthful idealisms of his friends with the present reality: that when having acquired power in adulthood they are just as crooked and amoral as their predecessors. He is also recovering from the death of his wife Laura (Bruna Lombardi) and experiences hallucinations of her and eventually Camara too. Bilac must eventually decide whether or not he too should give in, abort his detective work, and return to Los Angeles." (AMG)

Ban from Paradise
d. Vera Chytilova
c. Czech Republic
y. 2001
description:
"A filmmaker has to deal with obnoxious producers, uncooperative weather, and a troublesome cast -- not all of whom have opposable thumbs -- in this satiric comedy-drama. Rosta (Boleslav Polivka) is a director whose latest project is an ambitious film that draws parallels between the lives of humans and animals, and as illustration he's cast the members of a local nudist colony, who are to interact naked with a group of apes. However, the cold weather doesn't do much for the esprit de corps of his human cast, while the primates predictably refuse to take direction. Meanwhile, Rosta's backers are demanding more comic relief, the screenwriter argues for a more emotional approach, and Rosta's family shows up unannounced, getting in the way despite their best intentions. Vyhnani z Raje was directed by veteran filmmaker Vera Chytilova and was screened at the 2001 Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic." (AMG)

Je li jasno, prijatelju?
d. Decan Acimovic
c. Croatia
y. 2000
description:
"This hard-edged prison drama is set in Yugoslavia in the 1980s, shortly before the nation was dissolved following the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, and uses life behind bars as a metaphor for the abuses of Tito's rule. A quiet accountant (Milan Plestina) is convicted of a crime and sentenced to spend 12 years in a high-security prison. He soon discovers that the guards are as much a threat to his safety as the other inmates, witnessing brutal violence, torture, sexual assault, and cold-blooded murder on a daily basis. Je Li Jiasno, Prijatelju? was the first feature written and directed by Dejan Acimovic, who also appears in a supporting role as one of the bloodthirsty guards." (AMG)

Mahaleo
d. Raymond Rajaonarivelo
c. Madagascar
y. 2005
description:
"The Malagasy people are the dominant ethnic group in Madagascar, but for many years they lived as second-class citizens in their own nation, which was under colonial rule by Portugal[?]. In 1972, as Portuguese[?] control of Madagascar was slowly grinding to a halt, seven Malagasy musicians came together to perform their nation's native music with a eye toward its message of independence and an ear toward its joy and beauty. The group called themselves Mahaleo, from the Malagasy word for freedom, and they became a grassroots phenomenon, but while they were popular with the people, the nation's unstable political landscape made it difficult for the group to stay together. But while the band eventually splintered and its members took up other occupations, they periodically reunited to continue bringing their sound and message to their fans, and made clear they were more interested in speaking out on behalf of the people of Madagascar than in pop stardom. The documentary Mahaleo examines the history of the group as well as the Malagasy people, and follows the seven musicians as they reunite for a concert tour. Mahaleo received its North American premiere at the 2005 Vancouver Film Festival." (AMG)
