Wheel of Ashes, made in Paris by the under-recognized Americdan director, Peter Emanuel Goldman, is a very powerful film that you will remember long after viewing it. A young man, played by French actor Pierre Clementi,(Belle de Jour) despondently wanders the Paris streets until he meets a young woman , played by the Danish actress Katinka Bo. At the same time he falls under the influence of the Indian Vedanta philosophy, which encourages giving up the world to find God. Pierre retreats to a tiny room near the Bastille to search for God, but ends up almost going insane from the terrible conflict between his search for God, his sexual desire and the attachment to his girlfriend.Read More »

One of the most exciting novelties of cinema: the possibility to present objects in technical-aethetical pointed ways, like the time-lapse in “Das Blumenwunder” that turn ones own garden into a distant planet.
Sponsored by the chemical corporation BASF (Badische Soda and Anilin Factory), “Das Blumenwunder” – a hybrid of “Kulturfilm” and “Lehrfilm” (instructional film) — set out an almost impossible task, to give time-lapse cinematography a “feature length” run.

Huszárik made two experimental shorts in 1971 and 1976, entitled Tisztelet az öregasszonyoknak/Homage to Old Ladies and A Piacere/As You Like It, respectively. The first is a homage to the old country widows whose husbands died in World War II and live their lives according to daily tasks and regulations until they die (which is mainly inspired by Huszárik’s own mother). The second is a study of death in its various forms, including a gypsy “merry funeral” and stock footage of bombings and concentration camps in WWII.Read More »

This is one of Noronha da Costa’s films in which the “fictional” component is most visible. D. Jaime or the Portuguese Night, like the rest of Noronha da Costa’s films, is part of the gothic films (Terence Fisher’s work was one of his great influences), and in it he shows the different variations around the “specular bodies”, which evolve into luminous magic and into sensual and sensory incandescence. At the same time, we witness a series of ironic and erotic, or historical, views of wicked virgins and laughable sadists, all resurrected from German and British romanticism, while the scenery is no longer Portuguese.Read More »
