Daddy Longlegs / Go Get Some Rosemary. 2009.

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.
Directors: Benny Safdie, Josh Safdie.

 HU. A film a második világháború idején egy határszéli faluban a nagymamájuknál nevelkedő és a könyörtelen világban túlélni igyekvő ikerpár megrázó története. A gyerekeknek egyedül kell megtanulniuk mindent, ami a túléléshez szükséges. Magányosan, éhezve és fázva vezetik naplójukat a nagy füzetbe. 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.
A film Kristóf Ágota, magyar származású Svájcban élő író művéből készült.
A film öt nemzetközi díjai között a legrangosabbak a Karlovy Vary Nemzetközi Filmfesztivál (2013) Kristály Glóbusz díja Szász Jánosnak, és a Chicago-i Nemzetközi Filmfesztivál díja Molnár Piroska színésznőnek.
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.

A Menina do Lado. 1987.

Девушка со стороны / A Menina do Lado. 1987.
PT. A Menina ao Lado conta a história de Mauro (Reginaldo Faria), um jornalista de 45 anos, que aluga uma casa em Búzios a fim de poder terminar o livro que escreve. Na casa ao lado, Alice (Flávia Monteiro), uma menina de 14 anos, afável e solitária, passa as férias. Pouco a pouco, o encanto da garota conquista Mauro que, contra as expectativas, se apaixona por Alice.
EN. 1. Middle-aged married journalist goes to the beach resort of Búzios, in Brazil, to write a book. Gradually, he falls in love with his neighbor's daughter, a beautiful teenager much younger than he, ignoring the social implications.
2. She's fifteen. He's about thirty years older than her. And they are in love. She knows what she is doing. So does he. The movie does not try to preach, just to show some people are like that. I must say I was happily surprised to see such potentially heavy subject handled as gently as it is. The actress was actually a virgin and fifteen when they filmed it, so her mother was present, and someone had to explain to the girl how to fake a sex scene. It was funny to see her recall the experience at a movie debate on Brazilian TV. And she looks convincing in the movie. I thought she was older, and doing a good job of looking younger, when I saw it. If you seriously believe no one under 18 has any emotional maturity, you're in for a shock.

 The siblings Linus, 19-years-old, who are taking driving licence and Vanja, 17-years-old, who's still in school. Their mom Eva works night shift at a hotel. We get to follow them during one month. Linus and Vanja begin to realize that they are living in a universe of their own. And there is neither room for the mom or boy- and girlfriends. At first it is only the longing love in unspoken thoughts. But when thought gets into words they realize that they are each others perfect half. They are drawn closer to each other and finally can't resist the taboo temptation in each others bodies. At first they deny, lie and try to resist. It's about shame and guilt and forbidden feelings which leads to a point where everything is at stake.

Wir sind doch keine lahmen Enten. 1988.
Nun sind endlich die Sommerferien herangekommen. 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.

L'année du certif. 1996.

Год сертификата / L'année du certif. 1996.
 FR. Un roman vivant et chaleureux comme la mémoire collective
Les Cévennes, dans la France des années trente. C'est la grande époque du certificat d'études. Les écoles, les villages même s'affrontent, par l'intermédiaire de eurs champions, pour le prix cantonal. Chaque instituteur se doit d'avoir au moins une fois dans sa carrière le premier du canton...
dès l'été, commence l'année terrible. paul Fontanes, l'instituteur de Saint-André-la-Vallée prépare son fils Antoine ; Mlle Rachel, de Saint-Pierre-du-Mont, lance dans la bataille la tendre et folle Pascaline.
Pendant que les jeunes candidats connaissent leurs premiers émois amoureux et se passionnent pour les romances à deux sous, les espoirs et désespoirs des instituteurs viennent fausser la règle du jeu. Alors, entre adultes et enfants, se noue un drame qui ne connaîtra son épiogue que douze ans plus tard...
L'Année du certif a été adapté pour la télévision en 1996 par Jacques Renard.
EN. This certificate was formerly obtained by pupils at the end of primary school. It disappeared and in the naughties is nothing but a memory for older people, retired or soon-to-be-retired. I thought myself of taking it, but the principal told my mother it was useless.
The teacher of a small village has a dream: he wants his son to get his certificate and to be the best in the district ("Canton"). His younger son is less gifted: he is ashamed of him and treats him like a dunce. His obsession is so strong his marriage (his wife is a schoolteacher too) is soon on the rocks. Enter a handsome teacher and this is no more the perfect family.
The day of the exam is particularly well directed, with the inspector of schools and the inhabitants talking arithmetic and spelling. When the results are announced, there will be some surprises. And even an unexpected twist, ten years later. This is an above average MTV work.

Огни Запада / Phares d'ouest / Western Lights. 1990.
 This documentary is about 12 French teenagers who sail a large sailing ship (with the help of two or three adults), following the same course Columbus followed from Spain to the Yucatan Peninsula, with stops at various Caribbean islands.
It's an excellent film with decent production values for the time. The boys clearly know how to sail and demonstrate a lot of courage and skill. There is one great scene in which a woman sings on the beach, and her dog tries to sing along with her.
This film would be excellent for families, teenagers interested in sailing, and others interested in Columbus, the Caribbean, the Canary Islands, Spain and Mexico. It is also a good film if you want to brush up on your colloquial French, although it has English subtitles for those who do not speak French.

 Der heitere Fernsehfilm von 1977 bot den Zuschauern ein Wiedersehen mit beliebten Darstellern in einer Geschichte über zwei Freunde, die durch den Einfluss der Liebe in einige Verwirrungen geraten, an deren Ende aber die wahre Liebe den rechten Weg weist. Schauplatz des ganzen war Berlin, die Hauptstadt der DDR, deren Straßen und Plätze, Häuser und Wohnungen.
Und mitten drin in diesem Milieu lebt Ulrike Busch (Susanne Linser), ein zehnjähriges Mädchen, dass mit Energie und Zielstrebigkeit nach einem neuen Vater sucht. Als Ulrike zusammen mit ihrem Schulfreund den aus Mühlhausen stammenden Bauarbeiter Dieter Körber (Jürgen Heinrich) kennen lernt, ist sie überzeugt, dass dieser ihr neuer Vater sein könnte. Nun gilt es, Ulrikes Mutter (Micaëla Kreißler) mit sanfter Hand zu ihrem neuen Glück zu führen. Dass dabei auch der sympathische Großvater Karl (Gerhard Bienert) mit einbezogen wird, darf an dieser Stelle nicht unerwähnt bleiben.
Diese TV-Produktion galt in der Zeit ihres Entstehens als gelungenes Werk, vom realen Sozialismus zu berichten, von der Geborgenheit und Zukunftsgewissheit der Menschen in der DDR, und sie war zudem der wiederholte Versuch, der Hauptstadt Berlin eine Liebeserklärung zu offerieren.

Dreamwood. 1972.

Dreamwood. 1972.
 DREAMWOOD is James Broughton’s most surreal, abstract, dreamlike and bizarre movie. A man plagued by an industrial, modern world hates what he has become, has visions of a strange woman and goes on some kind of quest on an island where he encounters all kinds of tests, tribulations and adventures. This includes naughty nuns, materialism in the form of a man in front of a dresser with drawers full of pigeons which he promptly axes, a swarm of aggressive naked children, naked river nymphs, a leather-clad dominatrix, an alternate version of himself, what may be a succubus helped by masked men, and various other odds and ends, until he makes love to nature and defecates on her. Dream-like super-impositions, cinematography and sound add to this hippy-esque and symbolic fantasy-cum-parable.
