LA MORT DE LOUIS XIV (THE DEATH OF LOUIS XIV)
Watchable. About a king, attended to by everyone but helpless in face of a disease. Very slow, with virtually no music, no wonder some viewer fell asleep and snored. For me, however, it was fascinating to watch doctors treating the patient with strange potions which had nothing to do with medicine as we know it today. A quiet study of good will and relentless efforts failing in the lack of genuine knowledge.
GRUSSE AUS FUKUSHIMA (GREETINGS FROM FUKUSHIMA)
Recommended. "You've got only this one life. Longing is living with a ghost." "What do you do when you've lost everything?" Getting cold feet before a wedding resulting in a betrayal. Many truths about life and lots of food for thought. All of that set in Japanese scenery adding delightful immersion in an alien culture.
