Nianchan Year: 1959 Country: Japan Tags: boy skinny dip, girl skinny dip Review: Director Shohei Imamura is one of the better-known names of Japanese cinema and here he helms a consistently downbeat drama of miserable lives in a miserable little mining town. Four orphaned siblings struggle against the crushing poverty that threatens to separate them. Unfortunately, no one else in the town is in very good economic shape either. Even though the children receive all the sympathy they need and kind offers of whatever food the townspeople have available, it slowly becomes apparent that their efforts to stay together are woefully unrealistic in the face of economic pressures. Throw in a mining disaster, the poignancy of a supposedly tough storekeeper with a gentle heart, and several heart-wrenching scenes and the sad story slides along the edges of melodrama. - Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide Movie added at: 13.07.2024 |

The Good Mother Year: 1988 Country: USA Actors and Actresses: Asia Vieira, Zachary Bennett Tags: bathing girl Review: ...Divorced Anna (Keaton) brings up six-year-old daughter Molly (Vieira) on her own, and is making out nicely until she discovers the realm of the senses in the bed of sculptor Leo (Neeson). It's a shock when Molly reports to her father (Naughton) that Leo let her touch his penis, and he sues for custody. That was in fact all very innocent, but their taking the sleeping child into their bed during sex was questionable, and Anna's lawyer (Robards) advises her to throw Leo to the wolves if she wants to keep her kid. Is it possible to combine sexual ecstasy with motherhood, asks the blurb, but that's hardly made into a universal brain-teaser, nor into a comment on society's transition from permissive '60s to staid '80s, by this special case... - www.timeout.com Movie added at: 29.06.2024 |

Together they experience homes breaking up and violence, child cruelty and social and emotional humiliation. Together they develop the love and solidarity lacking in both homes.
