Nicole Atkins - Neptune City

2008-07-13T17:21:00.002+03:00

You can't see me from this view
All the way down
Trailing the procession
I'll hide out a few more days
Then I'll be leaving this place soon

Our hearts are singing out just for you
A cemetery song for summer
And if we knew just what we could do
A cemetery song we'd not sing

No regrets, no tears.
Only a strange feeling,
sleeping without falling.
I'll try another World
where the water is not blue anymore,
another reallity.
Oh, my baby I love you,
My lady blue.
I'm looking for something
that I'll never reach.
I seek eternity.
No more sun, no more wind.
Only a strange feeling,
leaving without moving.
I'll try another World
and the sky slowly fades in my mind.
Just like a memory.
No more reasons, no fears
Only this strange feeling,
giving without thinking.
Oh, my baby I love you,
My lady blue.
I'm looking for something
I'll never reach.
Baby, I love you
my lady blue.
I'm searching for something
that I'll never reach.
I seek eternity...

Grand bleu, Le (1988)

Luc Besson

Between what you know and what you wish, lies the secret of... [The Big Blue]

Enzo and Jacques have known each other for a long time. Their friendship started in their childhood days in the mediterranean. They were not real friends in these days, but there was something they both loved and used to do the whole day long: diving. One day Jacques' father, who was a diver too, died in the mediterranean sea. After that incident Enzo and Jacques lost contact. After several years, Enzo and Jacques had grown up, Johanna, a young clerk in a security office, has to go to Peru. There she meets Jacques who works for a group of scientist. He dives for some minutes into ice cold water and the scientist monitor his physical state that is more like a dolphin's than a human's. Johanna can not believe what she sees and gets very interested in Jacques but she's unable to get acquainted with him. Some weeks later, back in her office, she notices a championship for divers that is supposed to take place in Taormina, Italy. In order to see Jacques again she makes up a story so the firm sends her to Italy for business purposes. In Taormina there is also Enzo, the reigning diving world champion. He knows that only Jacques can challenge and probably beat him. This time Johanna and Jacques get closer, but Jacques, being more a dolphin than a man, can not really commit and his rivalry with Enzo pushes both man into dangerous territory..

Ξεκίνησα να δω το απέραντο γαλάζιο χωρίς μεγάλες προσδοκίες ...περίμενα ότι θα είναι μια ταινία καταδύσεων με πανέμορφα τοπία .Οτι πρέπει για το καλοκαιράκι . Λάθος . τα πράγματα δεν είναι τόσο απλά , ποτέ δεν είναι .Κατά τη γνώμη μου είναι μια ταινία για τα θέλω μας στη ζωή η μάλλον για τον τρόπο που θα θέλαμε να είναι η ζωή μας ,για τους περιορισμούς τής καθημερινότητας ... την πραγματικότητα και την κατάρριψη της τελευταίας ... τον έρωτα ...τα όνειρα μας… τους απώτερους στόχους μας .... την ελευθερία .
Τα τοπία ...όχι απλά όμορφα , μαγικά , μουσική που σε αγγίζει
και τέλος ...το τέλος .... η κορύφωση της ανθρώπινης ύπαρξης . (8/10)

Wow!!!

Midnight Express (1978)

Alan Parker

Αθώο αμερικανάκι πάει διακοπές στην κόλαση - Κωνσταντινούπολη βρίσκει μπαφο σε τιμή ευκαιρίας και θέλει να το περάσει στην μαμά πατρίδα ...διαβολικοί τούρκοι μπάτσοι τον πιάνουν και του κάνουν τη ζωή κόλαση ...και η ιστορία πάει λέγοντας .Καταλαβαίνεις πόσο ενοχλητική θα είναι αυτή η ταινία από τα πρώτα πέντε λεπτά που σιχαίνεσαι ότι έχει να κάνει με τσίχλα...πάντως αν σκοπός της ήταν να περάσει την ένταση στο θεατή ...οφείλω να ομολογήσω πως την πέρασε και με το παραπάνω...! .

Μονόπλευρη από την αρχή ως στο τέλος η ταινία χωρίς να μπαίνει καν στον κόπο να δείξει έτσι εικονικά τουλάχιστον έναν χαρακτήρα τούρκο ...που να έχει ίχνος καλοσύνης .(Όλοι μοιάζουν να έχουν βγει από καρικατούρα και η ομοιότητα με τα γουρούνια είναι εμφανέστατη).Τον ρατσιστικό μονόλογο αρνούμαι να τον σχολιάσω ...
....Πάντως έχει πλάκα να παρακολουθείς το πως οι πολιτικές εξελίξεις έχουν αντίκτυπο πάνω στην αμερικανική κινηματογραφική βιομηχανία και το πως αυτό που υποτίθεται θέλει να κατακρίνει αυτή η ταινία (με τις συνεχείς υπερβολές και διαστρεβλώσεις ομως για έναν ολόκληρο λαό ξαναπροσθετω εγώ)εξυψώνοντας το εγώ του αμερικανου πολίτη(πάντα οι άλλοι φταίνε ) γίνεται τώρα επίκριση για τις ίδιες πράξεις για το Αμερικανικο αυτή τη φορά κράτος(τραγική ειρωνεία?) -και εδώ δεν μιλάμε για την φαντασία ενός σκηνοθέτη η σεναριογράφου- (βλέπε The Road to Guantánamo).....δεν μπορώ να βαθμολογήσω αυτή την ταινία γιατί ένας καλός βαθμός δεν θα της άξιζε (για το ρατσιστικό μήνυμα που περνά) ενώ σκηνοθετικά αλλά και όσο έχει να κάνει με την υποκριτική κυμαινόταν σε πάρα πολύ καλά επίπεδα .(αν εξαιρέσεις ότι περιλαμβάνει την ποιο γελοία σκηνή που έχω δει σε ταινία ...:P δεν χρειάζεται να πω παραπάνω αν τη δείτε θα καταλάβετε ποια εννοώ) ....

ηθικό δίδαγμα ...το τρένο του μεσονυχτίου δεν είναι και η καλύτερη επιλογή ...εγώ προτείνω άλλο μέσο μεταφοράς ....

Nuovo cinema Paradiso (1988)

Giuseppe Tornatore

A celebration of youth, friendship, and the everlasting magic of the movies.

A man receives news from his aging mother in a little town that someone he once knew has passed away. A beautiful story unfolds about the man's childhood friendship with an old man who was the projectionist at the local theater. Their bond was one that contained many highlights and tragedies, and shaped the way for a young boy to grow and move out of his rundown village to pursue a dream.

Ενας ύμνος στην μαγεία του κινηματογράφου....
νιώθεις ότι είσαι ο ίδιος μέσα στην αίθουσα, το ζεις ...
νιώθεις δάκρυα να κυλανε στο πρόσωπο σου ...
δεν ξέρεις τι είναι ...
ίσως η καταπληκτική μουσική του Ennio Morricone...
ή η νοσταλγία γι αυτά που πέρασαν η και ακόμα ...γι αυτά που δεν έζησες…

Saibogujiman kwenchana (2006)

Chan-wook Park
I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK

Η Γιουνγκ-Γκουν, μια νεαρή, όμορφη γυναίκα που πιστεύει ότι είναι cyborg, εισάγεται
σε ψυχιατρείο. Αρνείται πεισματικά να φάει και μόνο ο έρωτάς της για τον Ιλ-Σουν –ο οποίος μπορεί να κλέβει τις ιδιότητες των άλλων– θα τη βοηθήσει να βρει τη φυλακισμένη της γιαγιά.

Τώρα τι να πεις για τον Chan-wook Park ?
...μετά την αξέχαστη τριλογία της εκδίκησης δημιουργεί μια ερωτική ιστορία (σαν όλες τις άλλες ?) σε καμία περίπτωση ..
Με το δικό του μοναδικό τρόπο κάνει το όνειρο ένα με τη πραγματικότητα ...σουρεαλιστικές καταστάσεις σε κάνουν να χαμογελάς ...
φεύγοντας από την αίθουσα ..ήμουν ο πιο ευτυχισμένος άνθρωπος στον κόσμο ...μια ευχαρίστηση και ολοκλήρωση ...με τον ίδιο τρόπο που την είχα νιώσει μετά το τέλος της Lady Vengeance...όμως αυτή τη φορά όχι με την εκδίκηση ...αλλά με τον έρωτα ...

I'm singing in the rain...what a glorious feelin

2008-04-06T23:12:00.004+03:00

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain

American History X (1998)

Tony Kaye

His father taught him to hate. His friends taught him rage. His enemies gave him hope.

Derek Vinyard returns from prison to find his younger brother, Danny, caught in the same web of racism and hatred that landed him in prison. After Derek's father is killed in the line of duty by a minority, Derek's view of mankind is altered, but while in prison, he discovers that there is good and bad in every race. The task before him now is to convince Danny of his newfound enlightenment.

Μια ταινία γροθιά στο στομάχι ....ρεαλιστική απεικόνιση της πραγματικότητας , ωμή βία ... μια σπουδή πάνω στο μίσος και στα αποτελέσματα του πάνω στην κοινωνία αλλά και στους ίδιους τους ανθρώπους.

Εξαιρετική ερμηνεία από τον Edward Norton
και ένα τέλος απλά συγκλονιστικό.
Χαράσσεται για πάντα μέσα σου
Προσωπικά ...έγινε μια από τις αγαπημένες μου .

(9/10)

Danny Vinyard: So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

Funny Games U.S. (2007)

Michael Haneke

Let the games begin...

In this exploration of our violent society and how depictions of violence reflect and shape our culture, a middle-class housewife Anna tells the story of how she and her husband George and their 10-year-old son Georgie submitted both physically and mentally to the torture, violence, and death foisted upon them by two young, unexpected, white-gloved visitors at their weekend vacation retreat near a lake.

Αν η λύτρωση είναι αυτό που νομίζεις ότι θα έχεις φίλτατε αναγνώστη ...αν ψάχνεις να βρεις τα κίνητρα για τις πράξεις των δυο επισκεπτών ...ατύχησες....εκεί που νομίζεις ότι έρχεται η εξιλέωση και των πρωταγωνιστών και η δική σου εκεί θα σου έρθει στο δόξα πατρι το " τηλεκοντρόλ " και θα λες τι έκανα θεέ μου για να τα περνάω αυτά ...Ο Haneke όχι μόνο κατακρίνει την αμερικάνικη βιομηχανία ταινιών που προάγει τη βία αλλά σε τιμωρεί και εσένα και τα S&M ένστικτα σου που επέλεξες να την δείς .(ααα όλα κι όλα... σου&μου αξίζει )
Να συμπληρώσω εδώ ότι μας τιμωρεί για δεύτερη φορά (βλέπε αρχικά Funny Games (1997)
και μάλιστα με τον ίδιο πανομοιότυπο τρόπο ....το μόνο που άλλαξε ήταν οι γλώσσα και οι ηθοποιοί (από όλο το καστ που έμοιαζε να έχει γεννηθεί για τους ρόλους τους ....θα ξεχωρίσω Naomi Watts και Michael Pitt που για άλλη μια φορά έδωσαν ρέστα )

(8/10)

Memorable quotes: Anna: Why don't you just kill us?
Peter: [smiling] You shouldn't forget the importance of entertainment...

Monsoon Wedding (2001)

Mira Nair
The Rain is coming... and so is the Family.

A story set in the modern upper-middle class of India, where telecommunications and a western lifestyle mix with old traditions, like the arranged wedding young Aditi accepts when she ends the affair with a married TV producer. The groom is an Indian living in Texas, and all relatives from both families, some from distant places like Australia, come to New Delhi during the monsoon season to attend the wedding. The four-day arrangements and celebrations will see clumsy organization, family parties and drama, dangers to the happy end of the wedding, lots of music and even a new romance for the wedding planner Dubey with the housemaid Alice...

Συμπαθέστατη ταινία ...έντονα χρώματα μουσική και ατμόσφαιρα που νομίζεις ότι είσαι καθοδόν για την Ινδία

ΣΙΝΕΜΑ ΣΤΟ ΠΙΑΤΟ

2008-03-13T20:03:00.007+02:00

ΣΙΝΕΜΑ ΣΤΟ ΠΙΑΤΟ
8 ΤΑΙΝΙΕΣ – 3 ΚΙΝΗΜΑΤΟΓΡΑΦΟΙ – 14 ΕΣΤΙΑΤΟΡΙΑ – 1 ΠΑΡΤΥ
14 ΚΑΤΑΞΙΩΜΕΝΟΙ ΣΕΦ ΜΕΤΑΦΡΑΖΟΥΝ ΓΕΥΣΤΙΚΑ
ΤΗΝ ΑΤΜΟΣΦΑΙΡΑ 8 ΞΕΧΩΡΙΣΤΩΝ ΤΑΙΝΙΩΝ
(25/2 – 14/4/2008)

"ΣΙΝΕΜΑ ΣΤΟ ΠΙΑΤΟ"’: ένα πρωτοποριακό γαστροσινεφιλικό concept που πρωτοπαρουσιάστηκε το καλοκαίρι του 2007, διοργανώνεται ξανά στην Αθήνα, με αφετηρία 8 ξεχωριστές κινηματογραφικές προτάσεις σε τρεις κεντρικές αίθουσες της πόλης. Η 7η τέχνη καταλήγει σε 14 εστιατόρια υψηλής γαστρονομικής τέχνης + 1 club (special party night).

Κάθε Δευτέρα, από τις 25 Φεβρουαρίου έως και τις 14 Απριλίου 2008, οι κινηματογράφοι ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝ Cinemax Class – ΔΑΝΑΟΣ 1 – ΜΙΚΡΟΚΟΣΜΟΣ Prince θα φιλοξενήσουν 8 βραδινές προβολές (ώρα έναρξης 20:00), τις οποίες θα προλογίζουν γνωστοί κριτικοί κινηματογράφου και δημοφιλείς προσωπικότητες του καλλιτεχνικού κόσμου: το πρόγραμμα περιλαμβάνει 3 πολυαναμενόμενες avant-premieres, μία ‘κλασική’ πρόταση, καθώς και μία επιλογή από αγαπημένες ταινίες της τελευταίας δεκαετίας.

Αμέσως μετά από κάθε προβολή, δύο εξαιρετικά εστιατόρια στο κέντρο της Αθήνας αναλαμβάνουν να μεταφράσουν την ατμόσφαιρα της ταινίας σε γεύσεις, δίνοντας μια νέα διάσταση στην απόλαυση του φιλμ και διευρύνοντας τα σύνορα της γαστρονομικής τέρψης. Στόχος του πρωτότυπου αυτού αφιερώματος, η ανατρεπτική σύνδεση της κινηματογραφικής εμπειρίας με την γευστική απόλαυση, προσφέροντας την ευκαιρία στο ευρύ κοινό να δει μια αγαπημένη ταινία στη μεγάλη οθόνη και να γευτεί το μενού καταξιωμένων σεφ σε ‘τιμή γνωριμίας’.

Η σύνδεση της ταινίας με την εικόνα, την έννοια και την ουσία του φαγητού, παραμένει ευρηματική: ‘λιώνει’ τις αδυναμίες της γυναικείας φύσης χωρίς να παρασύρεται από γλυκές υποσχέσεις (Caramel), συλλαμβάνει την ουσία της αληθινής ζωής μέσα από την καθημερινότητα μιας οικογένειας (Κους-Κους με Φρέσκο Ψάρι), γίνεται εργαλείο έκφρασης έντονων συναισθημάτων (Waitress), αναμειγνύει την παγανιστική χαρά της προετοιμασίας ενός γάμου με τα μυστικά του παρελθόντος (Ο Γάμος των Μουσώνων), βουτάει στη σπινθηροβόλα ατμόσφαιρα των καμπαρέ και της παριζιάνικης νυχτερινής ζωής (Moulin Rouge), προβληματίζεται πάνω στη φυσιολογία και την αλληλεπίδραση των αισθήσεων (Οι Πέντε Αισθήσεις), επιχειρεί να μεταφράσει στο σήμερα την ατμόσφαιρα των Βερσαλιών (Vatel), ανασυνθέτει και εκθειάζει τη μαυρόασπρη δύναμη του κλασικού σινεμά (Βασίλισσα Χριστίνα).

Η ατμόσφαιρα, το ύφος, η αισθητική των ταινιών γίνονται η αφορμή ώστε μια πλειάδα καταξιωμένων ελλήνων και ξένων σεφ να ετοιμάσουν ειδικά cine menus σε 14 από τα καλύτερα εστιατόρια της Αθήνας, δύο διαφορετικά για κάθε Δευτέρα.

Ειδικά την Καθαρά Δευτέρα στις 10 Μαρτίου, μετά την προβολή της ταινίας Monsoon Wedding, η γευστική πανδαισία θα δώσει τη θέση της σε ένα μεγάλο – και καθόλου νηστίσιμο – πάρτυ με θεματικό concept στο Yoga Bala.

Διοργανωτές του αφιερώματος, ο Σάκης Παπακωνσταντίνου (δημοσιογράφος – σύμβουλος επικοινωνίας) και ο Δημήτρης Αντωνόπουλος (δημοσιογράφος – κριτικός γεύσης).

Το αφιέρωμα τελεί και φέτος υπό την αιγίδα του ΔΗΜΟΥ ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ, καθώς το 40% των εσόδων από τα εισιτήρια των προβολών θα διατεθεί σε κοινωφελή σκοπό.

ΤΙΜΕΣ
Το εισιτήριο για την προβολή κοστίζει 7 ευρώ, ενώ το κάθε ειδικό κινηματογραφικό μενού 3-4 πιάτα με ποτό (μπύρα ή κρασί) κοστίζει 30 ευρώ το άτομο (τραπέζια μόνο με κρατήσεις).

No Country for Old Men (2007)

Ethan Coen
Joel Coen

What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?

In rural Texas, welder and hunter Llewelyn Moss discovers the remains of several drug runners who have all killed each other in an exchange gone violently wrong. Rather than report the discovery to the police, Moss decides to simply take the two million dollars present for himself. This puts the psychopathic killer, Anton Chigurh, on his trail as he dispassionately murders nearly every rival, bystander and even employer in his pursuit of his quarry and the money. As Moss desperately attempts to keep one step ahead, the blood from this hunt begins to flow behind him with relentlessly growing intensity as Chigurh closes in. Meanwhile, the laconic Sherrif Ed Tom Bell blithely oversees the investigation even as he struggles to face the sheer enormity of the crimes he is attempting to thwart.

Βίαιη και συγχρόνως διασκεδαστική με την ειρωνεία και το μαύρο χιούμορ να είναι διάχυτα από την αρχή ως το τέλος της

(8/10)->Για του πανέξυπνους διαλόγους, για την ερμηνεία του Javier Bardem μα πάνω από όλα για το άπαιχτο χτένισμα του που νομίζω ότι θα μείνει στην ιστορία του κινηματογράφου... :P

Whatcha got ain't nothin new. This country's hard on people, you can't stop what's coming, it ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity. ..

¿Qué he hecho yo para merecer esto!! (1984)

Pedro Almodóvar

Also Known As: What Have I Done to Deserve This?

A dysfunctional family in Madrid: Gloria is a cleaning lady, hooked on No-Doze, living in a crowded flat with Antonio, her surly husband, a cabby who adores an aging German singer he used to chauffeur; he's also a forger. One teen son sells heroin, the other sleeps with men. Her mother-in-law keeps bottled water and cupcakes under lock and key, selling them to the family. Two alcoholic writers cook up a plot to sell a manuscript as Hitler's memoirs, if Antonio will transcribe it in Hitler's hand. He agrees, so they ask the German singer to play the role of the original owner since her past affinity for Nazi memorabilia makes her a likely candidate. Meanwhile, Gloria has given away one son to a sex-crazed dentist, and grandma picks up a pet lizard. Can this chaos be tamed?

Do you feel like a chain store?
Practically floored
One of many zeros
Kicked around bored
Your ears are full but your empty
Holding out your heart
To people who never really
Care how you are

So give me Coffee and TV
Peacefully
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again

Do you go to the country
It isn't very far
There's people there who will hurt you
Cos of who you are

Your ears are full of the language
There's wisdom there you're sure
'Til the words start slurring
And you can't find the door

So give me Coffee and TV
Peacefully
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away form this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again

So give me Coffee and TV
Peacefully
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again

Oh...we could start over again

Inland Empire (2006)

David Lynch
A Story of a mystery...A mystery inside worlds within worlds...Unfolding around a woman...A woman in love and in trouble.

A blonde actress is preparing for her biggest role yet, but when she finds herself falling for her co-star, she realizes that her life is beginning to mimic the fictional film that they're shooting. Adding to her confusion is the revelation that the current film is a remake of a doomed Polish production, 47, which was finished due to an unspeakable tragedy.

Μια εμπειρία... έτσι θα χαρακτήριζα αυτή την ταινία.

faith in chaos

The mathematician Maximillian Cohen (Sean Gullette) is tormented by a severe migraine since he was a kid, and he uses many pills to reduce his painful headaches. He is a lonely man, and his only friend is his former professor Sol Robeson (Mark Margolis). Max has the following assumptions, which rules his life: (1) Mathematics is the language of nature; (2) Everything around us can be represented and understood from numbers; (3) If you graph the numbers in any systems, patterns emerge. Therefore there are patterns everywhere in nature. Based on these principles, Max is trying to figure out a system to predict the behavior of the stock market. Due to his research, Max is chased by a Wall Street company with obvious interest in the results of his studies, and by an orthodox Jew follower of the Torah, who believes that this long string of numbers is a code sent from God

There is no fucking you...there is only me!

2008-02-11T19:01:00.000+02:00

I'm becoming less to find as days go by
Fading away
Well you might say
I'm loosing focus
Kind adrifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself

Sometimes I think I can see right through myself ...

Less concerned about fitting into the world
Your world that is
Because it doesn't really matter
...no it doesn't really matter anymore
None of this really matters anymore

Yes I'm alone but then again I always was
As far back as I can tell
I think maybe it's because you never were really real to begin with
I just made you up to hurt myself
And it worked.
Yes it did!

There is no you
There is only me
There is no you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me

Only ...

The tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be scab and I had this funny feeling
Like I just knew it was something bad
I just couldn't leave it alone, picking at that scab
Was a doorway trying to seal itself shut
But I climbed through

Now I am somehwere I am not supposed to be,
and I can see things I knew I really shouldn't see
And now I know why ...yea now I know why
Things aren't as pretty
On the inside

Atonement (2007)

Joe Wright
Torn apart by betrayal. Separated by war. Bound by love

In 1935, 13-year-old fledgling writer Briony Tallis and her family live a life of wealth and privilege in their enormous mansion. On the warmest day of the year, the country estate takes on an unsettling hothouse atmosphere, stoking Briony's vivid imagination. Robbie Turner, the educated son of the family's housekeeper, carries a torch for Briony's headstrong older sister Cecilia. Cecilia, he hopes, has comparable feelings; all it will take is one spark for this relationship to combust. When it does, Briony -- who has a crush on Robbie -- is compelled to interfere, going so far as accusing Robbie of a crime he did not commit. Cecilia and Robbie declare their love for each other, but he is arrested -- and with Briony bearing false witness, the course of three lives is changed forever. Briony continues to seek forgiveness for her childhood misdeed. Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love

Brad Anderson

Fear Is A Place.

An asbestos abatement crew wins the bid for an abandoned insane asylum. What should be a straightforward, if rather rushed, job, is complicated by the personal histories of the crew. In particular, Hank is dating Phil's old girlfriend, and Gordon's new baby seems to be unnerving him more than should be expected. Things get more complicated as would-be lawyer Mike plays the tapes from a former patient with multiple personalities, including the mysterious Simon who does not appear until Session 9, and as Hank disappears after finding some old coins.

Alejandro González Iñárritu

This is the story of three gentle persons: Paul Rivers (Sean Penn) an ailing mathematician lovelessly married to an English emigré (Gainsbourg), Christina Peck (Naomi Watts), an upper-middle-class suburban housewife, happily married and mother of two little girls, and Jack Jordan (Benicio Del Toro), an ex-convict who has found in his Christian faith the strength to raise a family. They will be brought together by a terrible accident that will change their lives. By the final frame, none of them will be the same as they will learn harsh truths about love, faith, courage, desire and guilt, and how chance can change our worlds irretrievably, forever.

Paul Rivers: How many lives do we live? How many times do we die? They say we all lose 21 grams... at the exact moment of our death. Everyone. And how much fits into 21 grams? How much is lost? When do we lose 21 grams? How much goes with them? How much is gained? How much is gained? Twenty-one grams. The weight of a stack of five nickels. The weight of a hummingbird. A chocolate bar. How much did 21 grams weigh?

But in the course of a single day he accidentally captures on film the commission of a murder. The fact that he has photographed a murder does not occur to him until he studies and then blows up his negatives, uncovering details, blowing up smaller and smaller elements, and finally putting the puzzle together.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

Milos Forman

If he's crazy, what does that make you?

McMurphy(Jack Nicholson), a man with several assault convictions to his name, finds himself in jail once again. This time, the charge is statutory rape when it turns out that his girlfriend had lied about being eighteen, and was, in fact, fifteen (or, as McMurphy puts it, "fifteen going on thirty-five"). Rather than spend his time in jail, he convinces the guards that he's crazy enough to need psychiatric care and is sent to a hospital. He fits in frighteningly well, and his different point of view actually begins to cause some of the patients to progress. Nurse Ratched(Louise Fletcher) becomes his personal cross to bear as his resistance to the hospital routine gets on her nerves

Seiji Mizushima

Also Known As: Fullmetal Alchemist

Τhey thought there was nothing more they could lose... They were wrong.

After their mother's death, Edward Elric and his younger brother, Alphonse, try using alchemy to bring her back to life. Unfortunately they do not fully take into account the law of equivalent exchange which requires a sacrifice of equal value to what one hopes to achieve. Not only do they fail to revive their mother but Edward loses an arm and a leg and Alphonse loses his entire body, forcing his soul to remain confined to an empty suit of armor. Seeking a way to restore their bodies, Edward becomes a state alchemist and the brothers begin a long search for the legendary Philosopher's Stone, an object purported to allow its users to ignore the law of equivalent exchange.

There is no such thing as perfection. This world itself is imperfect. That's what makes it so beautiful.

Πρώην βασιλιάς του Μανχάταν, τώρα ετοιμάζεται να αποχαιρετήσει τη ζωή που μέχρι τώρα έκανε - μια ζωή που του άνοιγε όλες τις πόρτες της Νέας Υόρκης αλλά του έκλεινε αυτές των φίλων του. Την τελευταία μέρα προτού μπει στη φυλακή, ο Μόντι προσπαθεί να καλύψει το μεγάλο κενό της ζωής του: προσπαθεί να επανασυνδεθεί με τον πατέρα του, βγαίνει έξω με τους φίλους του, ενώ ταυτόχρονα η κοπέλα του και δύο καλοί φίλοι του, προσπαθούν όσο προλαβαίνουν, να ανακαλύψουν ποιος τον πρόδωσε. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνάς του θα είναι σοκαριστικά για όλους.

Η περιπετειώδης ζωή της Ούσι Ομπερμάγιερ, της γυναίκας σύμβολο της σεξουαλικής απελευθέρωσης και της γυναικείας χειραφέτησης στη Γερμανία στη δεκαετία του’ 70, γίνεται μια απολαυστική ταινία, γυρισμένη σε Γερμανία, Ινδία και Μεξικό. Σεξ, ναρκωτικά και rock n roll . Μια γεύση από το Βερολίνο του 1968, ένα κρυφό κοίταγμα από την κλειδαρότρυπα στα δωμάτια των Rolling Stones, ένα μακρύ ταξίδι στα βάθη της Αφρικής και της Ινδίας, ένας ύμνος στην ελευθερία και την αγάπη για τη ζωή….

Memento (2000)

Christopher Nolan
Some memories are best forgotten

Leonard is an insurance investigator whose memory has been damaged following a head injury he sustained after intervening on his wife's murder. His quality of life has been severely hampered after this event, and he can now only live a comprehendable life by tattooing notes on himself and taking pictures of things with a Polaroid camera. The movie is told in forward flashes of events that are to come that compensate for his unreliable memory, during which he has liaisons with various complex characters. Leonard badly wants revenge for his wife's murder, but, as numerous characters explain, there may be little point if he won't remember it in order to provide closure for him.

A young man is confined in a mental hospital. Through a flashback we see that he was traumatized as a child, when he and his family were circus performers: he saw his father cut off the arms of his mother, a religious fanatic and leader of the heretical church of Santa Sangre ("Holy Blood"), and then commit suicide. Back in the present, he escapes and rejoins his surviving and armless mother. Against his will, he "becomes her arms" and the two undertake a grisly campaign of murder and revenge
