Un clan de vieilles copines (qui vont aborder la cinquantaine avec beaucoup d’enfance encore) se prend les pieds dans un tapis d’un fait divers : deux d’entre elles, qui vivent ensemble, sont victimes d’un cambriolage dans leur maison de campagne. Le scénario suit l’investigation et les commentaires des différents protagonistes, conduit comme une enquête sauvage, avec le suspense de rigueur pour n’aboutir qu’à un vertige : où est la vérité, et surtout quelle est la juste cause ? Puisque chaque conduite, chaque point de vue, pavé de bonnes intentions , a son enfer de cohérence. L’événement fait exploser des sensibilités déjà exacerbées par des options de vie et des choix politiques différents, des jalousies peut-être, l’usure du temps…Read More »

Quote:
Writer/Director Kawasaki Minoru shot to cult fame with the infamous “Calamari Wrestler” about a wrestling squid, and he’s back in anthropomorphic territory with “Executive Koala”.

Keiichi Tamura is a hardworking executive in a pickle company, who is making a big merger at work and struggling with memory loss and the mysterious disappearance of his wife three years prior. He’s also a koala, which doesn’t seem to bother people too much, but then the president of the company is a large white rabbit.

‘Horoscope’ is one of the short movies made by underground filmmaker Richard Kern. All of Kern’s movies are unusual: intentionally transgressive, and often violent. But ‘Horoscope’ is unusual by Kern’s standards because it’s LESS unusual than usual, for him. There’s very little transgression, and the mood is (by Kern’s standards) sweet-natured. Typically, Kern’s eroticises the female body: on the rare occasions when his films feature erotic male images (as in ‘Submit to Me’), those images are usually briefer and less intense than female-centred images in the same film. ‘Horoscope’, unusually (perhaps uniquely) for Kern, features more male than female nudity.Read More »

A cinema which takes time, makes observations and which continuously finds or invents opposite picture sequences for loneliness and breaking free… (Written by Sixpack Film (Christian Cargnelli))Read More »
