9/11 (2002)

 

A real life documentary following the events of September 11 from an insider's view, through the lens of James Hanlon and two French filmmakers who were in Manhattan that one day.

Remarkable documentary follows a full first-hand account of the events as they happened, including new insights and some unsettling personal drama.

Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes (1972)

 

 

In the 16th century, the ruthless and insane Don Lope de Aguirre leads a Spanish expedition in search of El Dorado.

Arguably, Werner Herzog's greatest masterpiece, this a hypnotic, almost surreal tale of a downward spiral into an unknown void, full of breathtaking images and sequences and a diabolically intense performance by Klaus Kinski.

Halliwell****: "Absorbing conquistador melodrama, vividly assembled and impossible to forget."

Maltin***1/2: "Powerful, hypnotic tale...Dream-like film...Kinski is perfect as the mad Aguirre."

Neko no Ongaesh (2002)

 

After helping a cat, a seventeen-year-old girl finds herself involuntarily engaged to a cat Prince in a magical world where her only hope of freedom lies with a dapper cat statuette come to life.

Wonderfully animated has fairy tale quality and is full of surprising and amusing sequences; enjoyable for kids and adults alike, and not just for cat lovers.

L'aîné des Ferchaux (1963)

 

Broke French ex-paratrooper turned amateur boxer Michel Maudet becomes bodyguard for the fugitive corrupt banker Ferchaux.

Odd French road movie, which is staged mostly in the USA, has elegantly construed narrative, it's nicely directed with two good lead performers, but the protagonists are quite disagreeable characters, so that one hardly develops any empathy for them.

Audrey (2020)

 

Documentary does attempt to give a comprehensive biography portrait of Audrey Hepburn, but actually doesn't reveal any new insight; the staged ballet sequences, however, are unnecessarily interruptious, superficial and quite off-putting.
