Another backlog to clear (partially):
LOVE THE COOPERS
Watchable. Supposedly a comedy but hardly funny, sad rather. Another conflicted family full of people with weird habits. It didn't make me laugh even once.
WARSAW KOREAN FILM FESTIVAL (2015)
SNOWPIERCER
Watchable. It's like "Soylent Green" on Trans-Siberian. Full of class struggle. I was curious of the vision of the future but it's just a class B movie.
CAT FUNERAL
Recommended.
A very pleasant drama/rom-com with a cat (dead or alive) in the
background. Several funny scenes e.g. the cat's reaction to people
eating his food or parents arguing above their baby's pram: "Of course
it's all daddy's fault!" "No, it's mummy's fault!" At the meeting after the screening I suggested to the director he should make a sequel about dogs which are easier to film.
15. INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL WATCH DOCS (2015)
NO PLACE TO HIDE: THE REHTAEH PARSONS STORY
THE HUNTING GROUND
Recommended.
Both films convey the same message: 95% rape claims are genuine which
means 95% presumed victims tell the truth and only 5% rapists do. The
thing is it's perpetrators who get authorities' trust! Statistics of
false claims are just like for any other crime but no other crime
victims are treated that appallingly. 1 out of 4 or 5 women gets raped.
They are severely victimized later while the perpetrators are genuinely cared about. No one worries about the impact of the crime on victims'
lives but authorities worry about the outcome for the criminal! The same
situation in Canada and the US as elsewhere in the world.
"The Hunting Ground" has been nominated for an Oscar for... a song.
