1990s

Quote:
Joel and Ethan Coen’s Fargo is a refreshingly original and complexly taut film that operates on a multifaceted level that is, all at once: compelling, macabre, funny, tragic, and even romantic. From the opening sequence of a car navigating agilely through an endless snow covered road with a car in tow, the Coen brothers deftly craft a highly engaging and comically sinister contemporary masterpiece. Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy), a Minneapolis car salesman, arranges to meet with two petty criminals in a Fargo bar, Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) and Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stormare).Read More »

In “Die Nordkalotte”, Peter Nestler shows the transition of space in Lapland after Chernobyl nuclear accident while he continues the shots of river and valley from the top of mountains to sea. Deer and other animals in the vast space disappear gradually, and we see them caught to the space with a narrow cage at the end of this film. There’re rich information and physical sense which viewers can’t recognize on all other media. We should reconsider that Straub says “Operai,Contadini” is a challenge to talk-show on television. Although they’re co-productions with television, they support cinema where we support force of stare and concentration in the dark.Read More »

Jerzy Skolimowski’s 1991 film, set in Warsaw in 1939, stars Crispin Glover as well as Iain Glen who as a 30-year-old suddenly starts being treated by those around him–his former professor, a nymphet, a female cousin–as if he had regressed back to childhood. Closer to a curiosity than to a success–the English dialogue and the period Polish setting make for an odd mesh at times–but a curiosity by Skolimowski certainly isn’t like anyone else’s.Read More »

Die Rebellion (The Rebellion). 1993. Austria. Directed by Michael Haneke. With its silent-era aesthetic of sepia tones and muted color tints, and its interweaving of realism and fantasy, Haneke’s haunting adaptation of Joseph Roth’s expressionistic 1924 novel is an homage to the great Weimar cinema of G. W. Pabst and F. W. Murnau. In a heartbreaking performance, Branko Samarovski plays Andreas Pum, a soldier who loses his leg during the Great War and becomes an organ-grinder to earn a few coins a day. To this loyal citizen of the State, the veterans and firebrands who march in protest against society’s neglect are lazy, insubordinate “heathens.” But when an ugly tram incident condemns Pum to a life of penury and loneliness, his soul is awakened to the bitter waste of a life spent in duty to God and Empire. In German; 90 minRead More »
