Daddy Longlegs / Go Get Some Rosemary. 2009.

 After months of being alone, sad, busy, sidetracked, free, lofty, late and away from his kids, Lenny, 34 with graying frazzled hair, picks his kids up from school. Every year he spends a couple of weeks with his sons Sage, 9, and Frey, 7. Lenny juggles his kids and everything else all within a midtown studio apartment in New York City. He ultimately faces the choice of being their father or their friend all with the idea that these two weeks must last 6 months. In these two weeks, a trip upstate, visitors from strange lands, a mother, a girlfriend, "magic" blankets, and complete lawlessness seem to take over their lives. The film is a swan song to excuses and responsibilities; to fatherhood and self-created experiences, and to what it's like to be truly torn between being a child and being an adult.

Följegyzik, mit láttak, mit hallottak, mit tettek, mit tanultak. Ugyan életben maradnak, de szívük megkeményedik, testük megedződik. A nagy füzet posztmodern háborúellenes dráma, nagyhatású parabola arról, milyen pusztító hatással van a háború a gyermeki pszichére.

EN. The Notebook (Hungarian: A nagy füzet) is a 2013 Hungarian drama film directed by János Szász.
The Nazis have invaded Hungary and war is raging in the main cities. To avoid it, a woman leaves her thirteen-year-old twin boys at their grandmother's place in the countryside. The children don't know their grandmother, a dirty, miserly, and mean old woman who barely allows them inside the house. Left to their own devices, the two children learn to cope with hunger, the cold, and the everyday cruelty in a devastated country. To protect themselves, the twins reject all moral codes and values and instead take their lessons from the evil around them in order to try to survive. The siblings studiously note, as objectively as possible, their discoveries and their burgeoning knowledge in a notebook.

Piccoli fuochi / Little Flames. 1985.

EN. The Italian childhood fantasy Little Flames (Piccoli Fuochi) concerns 5-year-old Dino Jakosic. Proving too much for his parents, Jakosic is often sent to his room, where he interacts with several bizarre "imaginary" playmates who bedevil the servants with their sadistic pranks (the audience is never certain whether the playmates are real or whether the boy is pulling off the pranks himself). Valeria Golino plays the family's new maid, whom Jakosic takes a liking to. He begs his playmates to leave Golino alone, but out of jealousy they plan an awful revenge on the poor woman. In a startling sequence, Golino's boyfriend is tied to a bed and set afire. Jakosic confesses to the murder (indeed, as mentioned, he may have done it), but no one believes him capable of so horrible an act. Little Flames does not so much end as stop abruptly, with Jakosic bidding his playmates goodbye after they've wreaked their last havoc. Be sure not to book this one for your kid's next birthday party.
A schizophrenic look at the sexual life of a five-year-old boy, from the child's and the adult's point of view.
 IT. La vita affettiva di Tommaso (un bimbo di sei anni) non e molto ricca. Sensibile e pieno di problemi com'e, e poco seguito dal padre, uno scrittore inconcludente, e dalla madre, impegnata nel suo lavoro e un po' isterica. Per il che Tommaso si rifugia in un mondo di fantasticherie e di personaggi amici: un Re bizzarro e nano, un drago pacioccone ed un luccicante "robot" di latta. Il giorno, pero, che i genitori lo affidano ad una ragazza bella e sensuale, la quale gli si affeziona ed a cui il piccolo si attacca profondamente, la vita di Tommaso cambia in maniera radicale. In un misto di ingenuita e fantasia, oltre che di autentico bisogno schietto e ricco di "amore" (infatti, ad un certo momento si fa promettere che essi "si sposeranno per sempre"). Ma la ragazza ha gia una sua vita privata e ben altri rapporti con un bullo grossolano e anche manesco. Quando Tommaso viene portato dai due in moto fino alla casa di lui, il tipo, per tenerlo tranquillo, gli fa dono di un piccolo calcolatore e, mentre gioca con questo, il bimbo sente, con oscuro senso di disagio, tutto cio che sta accadendo nella camera vicina. Naturalmente egli comincia a detestare l'amico della "sua" Mara e la realta con le sue crudezze ha la meglio sui sogni ed i personaggi delle favole e delle fantasie infantili. Tommaso comincia lo sciopero della fame: mentre si trova in clinica sotto flebo, egli sogna che il bullo muore nel rogo della propria casa. In effetti il tizio sara trovato morto bruciato (una bottiglia vuota vicino al suo letto). Mara e interrogata dalla Polizia e poi, considerata innocente, e lasciata libera; sara pero licenziata dai genitori di Tommaso. Lei arriva perfino a sospettare che il bambino (nelle cui mani vede il calcolatore, datogli a sua insaputa dall'amico), sia l'autore dell'incendio. Ma una ipotesi simile e assolutamente folle. Cosi Mara tornera da Tommaso misteriosamente attratta dalla forza sincera di quell'affetto, mentre i due distratti genitori rapiranno, dopo l'oscuro episodio, quanto poco si sono occupati del loro figlio e di quanto amore egli abbia bisogno.
La buona riuscita del film e dovuta in gran parte al sapiente approccio dell'autore a una tematica per lui tutt'altro che nuova - basti ricordare quella che forse e la sua opera piu nota. 'Piso, pisello' - e alla formula ben indovinata dell'integrazione tra fantasia e realta. Un valido contributo e stato offerto anche dal piccolo Dino Jaksic, che ha saputo rispondere alle indicazioni del regista con i suoi occhi colmi di pensieri inespressi, sempre seri e malinconici. Valeria Golino, a tratti un po' insicura, e sembrata tutto sommato abbastanza disinvolta, piu che nei panni si dovrebbe dire nella pelle di Mara, cui fa da contrasto, con brevi ma piacevoli apparizioni, Daniela Giordano, dolcissima e affidabile maestra d asilo.
La vita affettiva del piccolo Tommaso non e serena: sensibile e pieno di problemi com'e, il bambino si rifugia in un mondo di fantasticherie e di personaggi amici. Un giorno, pero i genitori lo affidano ad una ragazza bella e sensuale, la quale gli si affeziona ed alla quale Tommaso si attacca profondamente.

Marco (Tobias Blume) und Tobi (René Hahn) haben vorab viele Pläne geschmiedet, die aus ihrer Sicht geeignet sind, die gesamten acht Wochen Ferien entsprechend abwechslungsreich und unter Jungs zu gestalten. Dann aber kommt die “schlechte” Nachricht: Marco soll für eine Zeit in ein Ferienlager ins Erzgebirge fahren. Was ist nun mit den schönen Vorhaben der beiden?
Um in dieser Hinsicht nicht alles über Bord werfen zu müssen und gemeinsame Abenteuer erleben zu können, überredet Marco seinen Freund, ihn mit Pferd und Wagen von zu Hause bis zum Ferienlager zu begleiten - das Ganze natürlich auf Umwegen, versteht sich! Und in der Weise beginnen die beiden Jungen dann eine interessante, abenteuerliche Expedition. Alles verläuft dann aber nicht ganz ohne kleine “Wehehchen” , so dass sie ziemlich lädiert im Ferienlager eintreffen. Als sie sehen, wie vielfältig das Lagerleben ist, ärgern sie sich, nicht schon früher eingetroffen zu sein.

Chiedo asilo / Seeking Asylum. 1979.

 IT. Chiedo asilo è un film del 1979 diretto da Marco Ferreri, vincitore dell'Orso d'argento, gran premio della giuria al Festival di Berlino del 1980.
Per la prima volta in una scuola materna di Corticella (Bologna) prende servizio un maestro di sesso maschile. Roberto, questo il suo nome, è un eccellente educatore, che stabilisce subito un ottimo rapporto con i bambini (che fra l'altro apprezzano moltissimo l'insolita presenza non "materna" nel corpo insegnante), e con le colleghe; tuttavia i suoi metodi educativi, piuttosto anticonvenzionali e ispirati ad una grande libertà, lo porteranno ad avere alcuni problemi con i tutori dell'ordine. Roberto instaura una relazione con Isabella, madre nubile della sua alunna Michela, e la donna si ritrova un'altra volta incinta; inoltre si lega di particolare amicizia con Gianluigi, un bambino affetto da disturbi comportamentali, che non parla e si alimenta pochissimo e in considerazione di questo viene allontanato dall'asilo per essere ospitato in una casa di cura. Nell'estate successiva Isabella, prossima al parto, manifesta l'intenzione di trasferirsi in Sardegna dove possiede un cinema dismesso. Roberto, pur non espressamente invitato a seguirla, la accompagna insieme a un gruppo di bambini fra cui Gianluigi. Proprio nei giorni in cui Isabella dà alla luce il suo secondo bambino Gianluigi dà segni di guarigione.
EN. Roberto has a new job as the teacher at a nursery school. The first child he meets is Gianluigi, who's mute. Roberto is spirited, bringing a TV into class, then a donkey. He takes children on an unscheduled field trip to their fathers' plant. He dates Isabella, the mother of one of his students, and soon she's pregnant. He's moody about it, so Isabella leaves for her family's abandoned movie theater in Sardinia, but not before Roberto is briefly arrested and questioned about past radical activity. He takes ten children, including Gianluigi, to Sardinia for the baby's birth, and there, surrounded by the sea, the mother of us all, he and Gianluigi play out their surprising bond.

Dead Birds. 1963.

 Dead Birds is a 1963 documentary film by Robert Gardner about the Dani people of New Guinea. It was produced as part of the Harvard-Peabody Expedition to study the highlands of New Guinea, at that time one of the few remaining areas in the world uncolonized by Europeans.
The premiere of Dead Birds took place at the Loeb Drama Center at Harvard University in October 1963. In 1998, this film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
DEAD BIRDS is a film about the Dani, a people dwelling in the Grand Valley of the Baliem high in the mountains of West Irian. When I shot the film in 1961, the Dani had an almost classic Neolithic culture. They were exceptional in the way they focussed their energies and based their values on an elaborate system of intertribal warfare and revenge. Neighboring groups of Dani clans, separated by uncultivated strips of no man's land, engaged in frequent formal battles. When a warrior was killed in battle or died from a wound and even when a woman or a child lost their life in an enemy raid, the victors celebrated and the victims mourned. Because each death had to be avenged, the balance was continually being adjusted with the spirits of the aggrieved lifted and the ghosts of slain comrades satisfied as soon as a compensating enemy life was taken. There was no thought in the Dani world of wars ever ending, unless it rained or became dark. Without war there would be no way to satisfy the ghosts. Wars were also the best way they knew to keep a terrible harmony in a life which would be, without the strife they invented, mostly hard and dull. DEAD BIRDS has a meaning which is both immediate and allegorical. In the Dani language it refers to the weapons and ornaments recovered in battle. Its other more poetic meaning comes from the Dani belief that people, because they are like birds, must die. In making DEAD BIRDS certain kinds of behavior were followed, never directed. It was an attempt to see people from within and to wonder, when the selected fragments of that life were assembled, if they might speak not only of the Dani but also of ourselves. - Robert Gardner.

Meine Kindheit an der See. 2010.

 Eine nostalgische Zeitreise ins Norddeutschland der 50er, 60er und 70er Jahre.
Eine Kindheit an der See ist verbunden mit dem Geruch von Schlick, Schiffsdiesel und Fisch. Ob in Rostock, Cuxhaven, am Greifswalder Bodden oder auf der Hallig - Seekinder wachsen mit einem Gefühl von Freiheit auf. "Wir waren den ganzen Tag draußen", erzählt Johann Petersen, der auf der Hallig Langeneß aufgewachsen ist. Aus Seegras und Holz haben er und seine Freunde Hütten am Strand gebaut. "Einmal haben wir da drin Feuer gemacht und aus Versehen die ganze Hütte abgefackelt."
Boy Andresen hat das Leben auf den Halligen noch ohne Strom und fließendes Wasser erlebt. Wenn bei Hochwasser Land unter war, hat er sich gefreut, weil es schulfrei gab und er endlich Zeit hatte, Bücher von Karl May zu lesen. In den Prielen ist Boy mit selbst gebauten Booten rumgeschippert - nur schwimmen hat er nie gelernt.

ป่า / The Forest. 2016.

TH. เป็นหนังผีที่แหวกขนบหนังผีแบบไทยๆ หลายแง่มุม ซึ่งเล่าผ่านมุมมองของผู้กำกับชาวอังกฤษ พอล สเปอร์เรียร์ (Paul Spurrier) ที่อยู่ในไทยมากว่า 10 ปี โดยหนังได้ติดตามชายหนุ่มที่เพิ่งออกจากร่มกาสาวพัสตร์มาเป็นครูยังภาคอีสาน ดินแดนที่มีเรื่องเล่าถึงผีและวิญญาณมากมาย ซึ่งหนึ่งในลูกศิษย์เป็นเด็กหญิงที่ไม่ยอมพูดกับใคร และมักถูกเพื่อนร่วมชั้นรังแก จนทำให้ครูมือใหม่ต้องยื่นมือเข้าช่วย
หนังเล่าถึงขั้วที่แตกต่างโดยใช้ครูหนุ่มและเด็กหญิงเป็นตัวเปรียบเทียบ แม้ว่าทั้งคู่ต้องเผชิญเรื่องราวร้ายๆ ที่มาพิสูจน์ความอดทนเช่นกัน แต่ครูหนุ่มก็พยายามปรับตัวเข้าหาโลกความเป็นจริงหลังจากที่ใช้ชีวิตในโลกอุดมคติมานาน ในขณะที่เด็กหญิงพยายามหลีกหนีจากความจริงอันโหดร้ายเข้าสู่โลกแห่งจินตนาการในป่า โดยมีเด็กหนุ่มลึกลับเป็นเพื่อน
ประเด็นน่าสนใจสะท้อนผ่านหนังเรื่องนี้ ทั้งการปะทะกันของความจริงกับจินตนาการ การต่อสู้เพื่ออุดมการณ์กับการใช้อำนาจอย่างไร้เหตุผล บทบาทหน้าที่ซึ่งสังคมกำหนดกับความต้องการที่แท้จริงของแต่ละคน ความอัปลักษณ์ของภูติผีกับจิตใจที่ดำทมิฬของมนุษย์ การอยู่รอดของคนชายขอบ ความรัก ความตาย ความเศร้า และการยึดติด แต่ทั้งหมดนี้อยู่รวมกันอย่างปนเปและบางครั้งไม่มีการสานต่อ จนทำให้บางประเด็นสื่อสารได้ไม่คมเท่าที่ควร

Stein. 1991. HD.

 DE. Stein ist ein deutsches Filmdrama der DEFA von Egon Günther aus dem Jahr 1991.
DDR-Bühnenstar Ernst Stein bricht am 21. August 1968 aus Protest gegen den Einmarsch der Sowjet- und DDR-Truppen in die CSSR mitten in einer Aufführung ab, verlässt die Bühne für immer, zieht sich in seine alte Villa in Berlin-Wilhelmsruh zurück und verbringt dort ein Leben zwischen Traum und Wahnsinn. Er öffnet keine Briefe mehr, führt stundenlange Telefonate mit einer imaginierten Geliebten in Italien, erhält nur Besuch von Jugendlichen und Kindern, die den Alten behüten und denen seine Villa ein Refugium der freien Entfaltung bietet, woraus schließlich die Opposition gegen den Obrigkeitsstaat entsteht, die zum Ende der DDR führt. Doch als die Mauer fällt, stirbt Stein. – Die Rückkehr des ehemaligen DDR-Regisseurs Egon Günther in die DEFA-Studios.
