 Respublika ShKIDYear: 1966 Country: Soviet Union Actors and Actresses: Aleksandr Kavalerov, Lev Vaynshteyn, Viktor Perevalov, Slava Golubkov Review: Dedicated director Viktor Nikolayevich Sorokin (Sergei Yursky) tries to help a school of orphans change from juvenile delinquents into productive members of society in this engaging children's comedy. His efforts are met with resistance before he manages to get through to the rebellious children. The kids battle the adults with hilarious hi-jinx before they heed the lessons taught by the director. The story was written by two former students who benefited from their stay at the institution, but the film fails to represent the accuracy of the book. The title of the feature is an abbreviation for the school that was named in honor of Fedor Dostoyevsky. The film is significant because of the lack of heavy-handed ideology that permeates many Soviet features of the era. - Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide Movie added at: 31.08.2013 |

 Jacquot de NantesYear: 1991 Country: France Actors and Actresses: Jérémie Bader, Marie-Sidonie Benoist, Clément Delaroche, Laurent Monnier, Philippe Maron, Edouard Joubeaud, Fanny Lebreton, Julien Mitard, Rody Averty, Hélène Pors Review: Agnes Varda's 1991 tribute to her late husband, Jacques Demy--Varda's fellow pioneer in the French New Wave movement of the 1950s and early 1960s--is a moving combination of reenacted scenes from Demy's fanciful childhood, clips from his movies (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Donkey Skin), and filmed interviews with him shortly before he passed away. Varda's efforts lead to a touching and evocative portrait of a man who saw, even as a boy, no distinction between his imagination and the more magical traditions of theater and film. The cast of unknown actors portraying Demy and other people in reconstructions of his memories are very good, and the interesting tension between the function of these scenes as storytelling and their inclusion in Varda's larger biographical essay instantly recalls the intensely personal nature of Demy's own lush, ambitious experiments behind the camera.

 Du är inte klok, MadickenYear: 1979 Country: Sweden Actors and Actresses: Jonna Liljendahl, Liv Alsterlund, Cecilia Orlando-Willberg, Kerstin Hansson Tags: bathing girl Review: This was made from a mini-series. A girl (Jonna Liljendahl) of about nine years of age is the focus. Watch her as she hangs out with her friends, tries to understand boys, gets in trouble with her parents, and a lot more. Thoroughly charming as well as entertaining. - CVMC Movie added at: 31.08.2013 |

 Mio caro assassinoYear: 1972 Country: Italy, Spain Actors and Actresses: Lara Wendel Review: The plot revolves around a series of murders committed by an unknown assailant intent on keeping the deaths of a small child and her father unsolved. As is the case with most gialli, there's a detective one step behind the murderer, a lush and creepy music score (this time by Morricone), a houseful of suspects, creative and illogical murders, and a downbeat and melancholy plot. What elevates this one above all the others made in that banner year for the genre (1971), though, is the detail given to the script and production. The characters are all fully formed and functional to the story, which itself is well thought-out and clever. The resolution is well-handled, and even if the killer's identity is impossible to guess beforehand, the means in which he (or she) is finally discovered will make you smile. Add to this one of the saddest musical-score main themes in movie history, featuring a woman's voice singing a haunting child's melody, and you have a giallo that fans of the genre should definitely not miss.
