Closet Land


















Closet Land

An interrogator and a prisoner, alone in a room. The interrogator a man, the prisoner a woman. The country, unnamed. The charge: sedition. She has written a children's book that he believes is an allegorical attack on the state. He blindfolds her, assumes threatening personalities, browbeats her, plays mind games, and then moves along to various refinements of physical torture. She resists courageously. Being mistreated by men is nothing new for her. This very same man assaulted her when she was a child.

If you think you are Right and others are Wrong, it takes only a small step to rationalize doing wrong to others. One way to take that step is to objectify others into the personification of evil. "Closet Land" is an exercise in that process, and not nearly as nice a movie as it thinks it is.

Suspension. DVD Rip (2008)


















Suspension. DVD Rip (2008)

Plot and review: A man loses his family in an accident but gains an extraordinary power: The power to stop time.

Heartbreaking, terrifying, and utterly mesmerizing, “Suspension” is independent filmmaking at its jaw-dropping finest. Its makers have taken a familiar sci-fi premise - the power to stop time - and elevated it, building the sort of intelligent human drama that resides within the best genre work. They have crafted a series of visual effects that enhance, not merely replace, the story. They have created magnificent cinema. And they have done all of this on a tight budget, far removed from the Hollywood system.

(If any of you have ever read Nicholson Baker's "The Fermata" then you will understand how power corrupts).

Visitor Q (2001)





















Visitor Q (2001)

Review by imbd user Infofreak : I've seen over half a dozen Takashi Miike movies, so I'm aware of how bizarre his output can be, but nothing can quite prepare you for how extreme 'Visitor Q' is! In the last decade Miike has gone from straight to video crime thrillers to genre-busting arthouse cult favourites by following his own unique vision. He's also breathtakingly prolific, having completed around twenty projects since this, which was released only three years ago(!) Miike's best known movies in the last few years include the ultra-violent live action manga 'Ichi The Killer', the slow psychological thriller 'Audition', and the zany, feel good zombie musical 'The Happiness Of The Katakuris'. Those three movies alone prove he is the most exciting and innovative director working today, but 'Visitor Q' takes him to a whole new level. 'Pink Flamingos' meets 'Salo' meets reality TV on crack(?) However you try and describe this movie it just won't be adequate. When I say you just have to see it to believe it, I'm not just taking in cliches! 'Visitor Q' is shot on digital video in a pseudo-documentary style. In the opening scene we see a middle aged man (Kenicho Endo, who you might recognize from Miike's 'Dead Or Alive 2') inadvertently videotaping himself having sex with a teenage prostitute. They are in fact father and daughter. This is just the beginning of a very strange trip for the viewer! The father is a failed TV reporter who comes up with a new program idea about bullying using his own teenage son (Jun Muto), who is being victimized by his classmates and in turn abuses his own mother (Shungiku Uchida). She is secretly addicted to heroin and turns tricks to support her habit. Into this ultra-dysfunctional family comes a mysterious visitor (Kazushi Watanabe) who we are introduced to when we see him brain the father with a rock. Exactly who or what the visitor is is never explained, but his presence effects the family in various odd ways, strangely bringing them closer together. His character reminded me a bit of the messiah figures in Coffin Joe's 'Finis Hominis' or J.G. Ballard's 'The Unlimited Dream Company'. 'Visitor Q' slowly creeps up on you with images of abuse and abnormal behavior until around the three quarter mark when you are left staring slack jawed at the screen not quite believing what you are seeing! When the movie cuts between Father in the greenhouse and Mother in the kitchen with Visitor Q (I won't/can't go into details!) it's the most extraordinary sequence I've watched in any movie EVER! It goes with saying that 'Visitor Q' is not for most people, but if you appreciate the surreal and the confrontational, then this is one movie you MUST see. I think in decades to come it will regarded as a milestone and spoken of in the same breath as Bunuel, Jodorowsky, Lynch and Cronenberg.[Download]

Tideland (2005)




















Tideland (2005)

From the world's most visionary contemporary filmmaker comes the unforgettable tale of one extraordinary little girl. Poetic, darkly funny, and infused with amazing performances and beautiful photography this unique and incredible film is director Terry Gilliam at his very best.

Enter the magical world of Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland), an unusual child with an even more unusual story. Hers is a world where squirrels talk, where fireflies have names, and where the heads of dolls, long since separated from their bodies, are her closest friends.

After the sudden death of her junkie mother (Jennifer Tilly), Jeliza embarks on a strange journey with her father (Jeff Bridges), a rock-and-roll musician well past his prime, who quickly over-doses and leaves Jeliza only having her own imagination, the crazy bee lady, and the neighborly mentally handicapped boy to look after her. But this journey offers little for Jeliza by way of consolation and as the vast loneliness of her new existence grows she falls deeper and deeper into the twisted world of fantasy that she has created in her mind. Leaving you exhausted at the amazingness and power behind the story you just were told. [Download]

The Warlords (2007)



















The Warlords (2007)

Three blood brothers find their oath tested by battle and personal rivalry in “The Warlords,” a meaty drama of friendship, ambition and betrayal set during a bloody civil war in 19th-century China. Laden with gritty action, but with an emotional undertow that carries the drama even through its weaker moments, pic reps a strong comeback by Hong Kong helmer-producer Peter Chan after his wobbly musical “Perhaps Love” and provides Jet Li with a satisfying non-chopsocky showcase.

War Dance (2007)





















War Dance (2007)

Much like Gore's film, War/Dance is a great cinematic contribution to the world. Bold statement. This film has less urgency and less catastrophe than Gore's but still, it must be watched. I really like the style of storytelling: they allowed the three main subjects--three children: Rose, Nancy, & Dominic--to do all of the storytelling (without any provided narration). The result is three intimate and soul-wrenching revelations of turmoil and perseverance, and most importantly, of hope. Children can be very profound; these three definitely are. They have that look of war veterans in their eyes. Amazingly captured in the cinematography. The shots, presentation of political & social subject matter, emotional content--all excellent. You will walk away informed & attached, and wanting to take action; you don't feel like you've just read yesterday's newspaper or received some second or third-generation information. This film is moving in so many ways. Go. [Download]

DVDRip | AVI 624 x 352 (39:22) XviD | Audio: Dolby AC3, 48000 Hz, 224 Kbps | 1h:14min | 721 Mb
Genre: Documentary | IMDB: 6.4/10 | Studio: DOCURAMA | Language: English
Director: Lynn Hershman Leeson | ASIN: B000ZDQI9Y | 2007 Year (DVD Release Date: March 25, 2008)

“In this moving and wildly innovative film, director Lynn Hershman Leeson tells the terrifying story of how one man's personal tragedy turns into persecution by a paranoid and overzealous government. Art professor Steve Kurtz's nightmare began on May 11, 2004, when he awoke to find his wife Hope dead of a heart attack. Paramedics responding to his 911 call, suspicious of petri dishes and scientific paraphenalia in his house (materials for an art project on genetically modified food) contacted the FBI, and soon his world was turned upside down. Only hours after his wife s tragic death he was suddenly a murder suspect, an accused bioterrorist, and a pariah to all but his closest friends. Told through a unique blend of interviews, documentary footage, and reconstructed scenes starring Tilda Swinton, Thomas Jay Ryan, and Peter Coyote, Hershman s critically-acclaimed film is a sophisticated, look at how the traumatic events of 9/11 altered American society and undermined its long-held values.” -- Amazon.com

Drame_Romance (Franco ZEFFIRELLI) Jane EYRE [DVDrip] BivX






















Drame_Romance (Franco ZEFFIRELLI) Jane EYRE [DVDrip]
RIP+UP | XviD-1244 | mp3@128 | 672x368 | 2 Trx Francais_1 English_2 | DVD Cover & Sticker | 1h51 | 1.2 Gb
UK-France-Italia 26 Juin 1996
Réalisation Franco ZEFFIRELLI

Avec/Cast Charlotte Gainsbourg, William Hurt, Anna Paquin, John Wood, Geraldine Chaplin, Nic Knight, Nicola Howard, Fiona Shaw, Amanda Root, Richard Warwick ...
Apres une enfance triste au pensionnat le Lowood, la jeune orpheline Jane Eyre est engagé comme gouvernante de la petite Adèle chez le riche Edward Rochester. Mr Rochester ne tarde pas à etre sensible aux charmes de Jane qui, elle, se sent attirée par ce personnage énigmatique.

Franco Zeffirelli once again proves himself a faithful custodian of the classics with this adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's 1847 masterpiece. Anna Paquin plays the young Jane Eyre, orphaned forced to endure life at a harsh boarding school. She grows into an independent, strong-willed woman (Charlotte Gainsbourg) who takes a governess position at the remote Thornton Hall, where she falls in love with the brooding owner, Mr. Rochester (William Hurt). He loves her too, but his dark secrets and her own fears, stand in the way of their happiness. This is a lushly photographed and well-acted drama that stresses realism and emotional honesty over the gothic gloom associated with previous versions. Though abrupt in spots, the film stays true to Bronte’s novel, and it's full of the natural beauty one expects from the work of this famed director.

The Savages (2007)


















The Savages (DVDrip - 2007)
English | Subtitle: English/French/Spanish | 114 min | 700 mb | Genre : Comedy/Drama

The Savages is an irreverent look at family, love and mortality as seen through the lens of one of modern life’s most bewildering and challenging experiences: when adult siblings find themselves plucked from their everyday, self-centered lives to care for an estranged elderly parent. It is a movie of uncommon appreciation for the nature and nurture that go into making us who we are, a perfectly calibrated drama both compassionate and unsentimental. Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney
