 Erik of het klein insectenboekYear: 2004 Country: Belgium, Netherlands Actors and Actresses: Marius Gottlieb, Yale Sackman, Merijn van Heiningen, Jasper Oldenhof Tags: bathing boy Review: Eric in the Land of the Insects is the story about the dream of the ten years old boy Eric Pinksterblom. On the night before the day in which he has to pass a severe test about Solm’s Concise Natural History, Eric is glancing at his favourite painting ("Industrious Valley") that hangs on the wall next to his bed. While he imagines how beautiful life must be over there, the painting comes to life. At that same moment, Eric becomes very small and in a great arching jump, flies over the edge of the frame. He falls into the soft green grass, high as a forest with trees. The grass is crawling with insects, with the same good and bad points as human beings. He gets to know some of them. He has dinner with the neat family Wasp; he plays the bass on a living blowfly; he stays the overnight in a snails' shell that serves as a hotel; he meets a butterfly in love; he is attacked by a spider and is witness to a fight between two hordes of ants. At the end of the story Eric wakes up and has to go to school to pass his test. But he doesn’t do to well. Eric’s fantastic report of his meetings with the insects is considered “nonsense” and “ridiculous” by his schoolteacher. The next night Eric is waiting for the big miracle which will take him back to the Industrious Valley. However, his waiting is in vain: "The big miracle does not occur. Not that night nor the night after. In fact, it never happens again!" (based upon the book by Godfried Bomans) - www.beumerendrost.nl Movie added at: 02.11.2022 |

In turn they are secretly carried to Israel. The day before the transport the son of a Jewish mother dies. In his place and with his name (Schlomo) she takes a Christian 9-year-old boy. Upon arrival this second mother dies. Schlomo is adopted by a good family but remains depressed until he secretly sends a letter to his real mother. From the beginning he experiences large and small racist difficulties. In his teens he and Sarah fall in love. Her father is an extreme racist. Schlomo tries to gain "real Jewishness" by winning a competition in Bible interpretation. No change of Sarah's father's attitude. Disappointed he goes to the police and reports himself as not being a Jew. But the police officer just gives him a scolding. "The newspapers are full of that stuff, the Falashas are no Jews. Now they begin to believe it themselves." His adoptive parents send him to France to study medicine. When he afterwards marries Sarah she loses her family and her status as a "white Jew". But he dares not tell her the truth until she becomes pregnant. She leaves him, but only because he had not trusted that she would love him as much anyway. His adoptive mother reconciles them. Sarah's first line when she returns: "Unbelievable what three mothers would do for you." But she makes a condition for returning: Schlomo must meet his real mother again. As a doctor he takes a job in the Ethiopian fugitive camp where she is still alive. - IMDb Movie added at: 07.09.2022 |

Zvezdopad Year: 1981 Country: Soviet Union Actors and Actresses: Darya Mikhaylova Tags: bathing boy Review: Falling Star is based on three stories by the contemporary Russian writer Viktor Astafyev and centers on a young soldier on the front lines who is wounded and taken to the hospital. Once there, he muses about his childhood and a little girl he had loved - someone who could easily have grown up to be the nurse that is attending to him now. As he recuperates, he and the nurse fall in love and he very much wants to marry her. At this point, the nurse's mother comes for a visit and advises him against such an action because if they were to marry and he were subsequently killed or maimed in action - the fighting is still close to the hospital - the nurse would suffer much more than if he just left her alone. Now it is up to the soldier to make a decision one way or the other. - Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide Movie added at: 24.08.2022 |

 Il saprofitaYear: 1974 Country: Italy Actors and Actresses: Giancarlo Marinangeli Tags: bathing boy Review: By all accounts, this slick production aims at exposing the corruption of southern Italian Catholicism. A young seminarian who can't be ordained because of a speech impediment leaves the seminary to take a job with a wealthy baroness' crippled son. The seminarian is a lustful and mendacious rascal, but soon after taking the baroness to bed he heads off to Lourdes with the boy, ostensibly in hope of a miracle for the lad. Instead, he seduces a very devout woman who is visiting the site with her grandmother, who dies. This is just the main story. - IMDb Movie added at: 13.07.2022 |
