The film features a young Senegalese maid who wants to go to France. It is, in essence, a simple story, told around a stark fait divers (news short) that appeared in the French press on the Coˆ te d’Azur: ‘‘Une jeune ne´gresse se tranche la gorge dans la salle ...by c2o library | December 10, 2008 | No Comments

Takhte Siah | Iran | 2000 | 85 mins | Colour | PG | Kurdish with English subs
In Kurdistan, the border between Iran and Iraq, a band of teachers are trudging through a barren area, seemingly without directions, each with a rickety blackboard on their back like useless, clumsy wings. Even though the atmosphere is pessimistic, there are plenty of (black,) deadpanned humour colouring this film.

Ciné lumière France | 1957 | B&W | 90 mins | French with English subtitles
Ascenseur Pour L'echafaud, a.k.a. Lift to the Gallows (U.S.), opens with the famous foggy close-up shot of breathy Jeanne Moreau on the phone, the smoky noir, secret passionate lovers atmosphere established from the very beginning. The diegetic sound is suddenly cut off, the camera zoomed out, and the audience hears Miles Davis' mournful Nuit ...by c2o library | April 10, 2008 | No Comments
Although replete with gorgeous mise-en-scene characteristics of his later works, The Man from London falls frustratingly short to Tarr’s previous works. Tarr’s usual late bag of tricks — richly-textured, gorgeous long takes, Mihaly Vig’s cyclic music (which is rather annoying this time compared to his previous transcendental scores), along with the dance-in-a-bar, unblinking, silent characters staring into nothingness for 30 seconds or more — feels this time way ...by c2o library | January 6, 2008 | No Comments

Set in an imaginary place and time where rickety, steam-powered ships float in the sky (a 19th century sci-fi?), The Mysterious Geographic Exploration of Jasper Morello is a short animation with a quirky mix of CG animation and silhouettes reminiscent of shadow puppets and Lotte Reiniger's works. The multi-layered textures applied to the animation -- rusty cogs, ...| M | T | W | T | F | S | S |
