Comments

Twenty Years Later

1984 Brazil

The brutal logic of Brazil and its history. A diaspora of violence, very much about love itself. A masterpiece.

Come and See

1985 USSR, Byelorussian SSR

Still underseen for the the astonishing work of cinema it is.

Mad Max 2

1981 Australia

Cinema the moving image.

PIXOTE A LEI DO MAIS FRACO

1981 Brazil

Children – to love them, to protect them, to try and show them respect and education.

Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles

1975 Belgium, France

Time has always been a good friend to Akerman's Jeanne D.

La Jetée

1962 France

The cinema dream.

Fitzcarraldo

1981 Federal Republic of Germany, Peru

A mind-altering substance of a film when I was 15, has not changed a bit all these years. And it is unique.

La ciénaga

2001 Argentina, USA, Japan, France, Switzerland, Spain, Brazil

The ghosts of realism.

A Brighter Summer Day

1991 Taiwan

A beautiful film.

Dogville

2003 Denmark, Sweden, France, United Kingdom, Germany

A beautiful fairytale about the United States of America.
