Five Obstructions

Nov 07, 2003
Lars von Trier considère THE PERFECT HUMAN (1967) comme l'un de ses films cultes. Il défie son réalisateur, Jørgen Leth, de tourner cinq remakes de ce court-métrage. Pour chaque projet, il va lui imposer de nouvelles " obstructions " le forçant à repenser l'histoire et les personnages de son film original. Leth devra gérer restrictions, ordres et autres interdictions. FIVE OBSTRUCTIONS est un jeu plein de pièges et de coups vicieux. Un film fascinant et totalement inédit autour d'un cinéaste qui accepte de recréer totalement une de ses premières oeuvres. Un voyage initiatique au coeur du processus de la création cinématographique.

Ingen tid til kærtegn
6.6
The Danish Ingen tid til Kaertegn (Be Dear to Me) is heavily reliant on the appeal of its star, 8-year-old Eva Cohn. Our heroine is the neglected child of a businessman father and actress mother. Feeling that happiness lies well outside her own backyard, Eva goes on a search for that happiness. The longer she stays away, the more her parents realize that they've unfairly ignored her. The plot is nothing new: it's what is done with it that pleases the eye and ear. Ingen tid til Kaertegn was one of the more popular entries in the 1957 Berlin Film Festival.

Dilemma

Oct 04, 1962
The story begins when Toby (Ivan Jackson), a young English businessman, arrives in South Africa to take charge of a publishing firm. He knows little about apartheid and so at first sees no contradiction in developing a relationship with an elite, upper-class white woman and with a woman dedicated to fighting apartheid. But as Toby makes friends with one of the black South Africans (Zaku Mokae), and as he registers both the subtle and more obvious, deep-seated racial prejudices of the minority white population, some of the truth of the oppression here begins to dawn. That is brought to a head when tragedy strikes.

Jorden er flad

Mar 19, 1977
Jorden Er Flad or The Earth is Flat is based on the play Erasmus Montanus, from the classical era in Danish literature, by Ludvig Holberg. Director Henrik Stangerup had the play translated into Portuguese, and adapted it for filming in contemporary Brazil. In this comic movie, a group of villagers have scrimped and saved to send their fellow villager Erasmus Montanus (Fausto Wolff) away for an education. When the boy returns to his village, he is stuffed full of book-learning of a kind which is of absolutely no use to those of the village. The boy, rather than seeing his situation clearly, continues to spout learned platitudes, including the incredible observation, "the earth is round," supported by nothing other than his authority as an "educated man." Understandably, his posturing provokes derision.
