The Wooden Camera (2003)
loved: a tinge of surrealism.
This was a nice film. It had a interesting storyline, that was executed pretty well in the later part of the film. The storyline kinda reminded me of The City of God. But this one is done in a more nicer way in comparison. It had what i really loved:a tinge of surrealism. Some pretty interesting cinematography (thru the wooden camera) I'm not sure if it was culturally correct, but it definitely widens you're view of south Africa. The actors were good (for 1st timers, most of them anyway), i especially liked Estelle character, which made this movie pretty enjoyable. What is interesting though, was that it makes you ask about your own life. Are you really doing what you really love? Or do you consent to the norm, the conventionalism around you. Definitely worth a watch.
Chang hub thengs gcig gi 'khrul snang (2003)
Nice movie
Just watched this movie last night. Its about a government officer who can't wait to get out of a small village in Bhutan in order to try his luck in dreamland - America. On the journey out, he is befriended several different characters one of which is a monk. During this travel the monk tells of story about 'dreamland'. In it is about a magician who only yearns to escape from his village of boredom and nothing else. The magician does get his wish...only to learn a few lessons after. As you are amazed at the scenic atmosphere, the parallel between the officer and the magician is drawn......A nice Asian fairytale-like picture amidst Bhutanian culture...worth a watch.
