    2001-2010ChinaDramaHao Lui

    Uncle Deshan (played by Sun Yunkun) lives in a national-level poverty-stricken county on the plateau, and he himself is a well-known poor household. On this day, deputy county magistrate Liu (played by Zhao Shenglin) came suddenly and left him some money before leaving, which caused a sensation in the whole village. The village head (played by Jiang Zhikun) found Deshan and told him that deputy county magistrate Liu had sent two imported sheep to him to raise them properly. As a result, Deshan’s family fed the two babies like their ancestors. After many days, the sheep were not fattened, and even a little of the family’s savings were used. Reporters from the county came to interview, and after seeing it in the newspapers, the leaders at all levels were very satisfied. The township head (played by Chen Dajiang) also conveyed the opinions of the county leaders, asking him to find a way to let the sheep have cubs. A day of special singing.

  • Josephine Decker – Madeline’s Madeline (2018)

    2011-2020DramaJosephine DeckerMysteryUSA

    Quote:
    “In all chaos there is a cosmos. In all disorder a secret order.” Experimental theater director Evangeline (Molly Parker) says this to her troubled teenage star Madeline (Helena Howard) early on in Josephine Decker’s Madeline’s Madeline, and it’s a sentiment the movie both takes to heart and persistently questions. Decker’s film, the best thing I saw at Sundance this year, is built around tension and chaos: Its unruly scenes emerge out of disorder, out of chants and shrieks and fractured images, and always threaten to fade back into abstraction. The focus slips; the camera drifts. Whispers and wails intrude. A simple dialogue exchange might suddenly splinter into tight-angled close-ups of a face; a shot might disintegrate into a shimmering field of red. But one senses a method in this madness. The narrative might be shattered, but the film’s slipstream of emotion is powerful and inescapable.Read More »

  • Ulrich Schamoni – Es AKA It (1966)

    1961-1970ArthouseDramaGermanyUlrich Schamoni

    All Movie Guide wrote:
    A key figure in the New German Film movement, Ulrich Schamoni specialized in controversial satires beginning with his 1965 directorial debut Es (It), an ironic, but realistic portrayal of a counter-culture couple living in Berlin that critics dismissed as being too frivolous to be taken seriously. Undeterred, Schamoni made several more social satires, including a look at a family Christmas holiday All Jahre Weider (Every Year). In 1974, he caused controversy again with Chapeau Claque (TOP HAT), a tale of a lazy young businessman who would rather hang out in the pool of his father’s old mansion and live off his inheritance than work. German censors felt the film might have a negative influence on young people. By the mid-’80s, Schamoni had tired of directing and became involved with commercial media and the founding of a Berlin radio station.Read More »
