The head of the nunnery is dying, and the members are divided in two groups as the election of the new head approaches. Led by Virginia, the younger nuns stand up for changing the strict religious dogmas and would like a modern school with genuine science, a bathroom to be built, and a freer spirit. Their candidate is sister Magdolna, who went to secular universities, too. The seminarists, led by Király Erzsi, also rebel against the older nuns’ strict discipline and the depressed atmosphere of the institution. However, Magdolna does not want to stay involved in the fight because she is deterred by Virginia’s sinful attraction towards her and the tools Virginia is using to gain victory at any price.Read More »

Desiree Cousteau plays herself as she tells us how she got into the porn industry. She starts off talking about previous jobs she had and how they prepared her for having sex in front of a camera.

If you’re expecting some sort of real documentary on Cousteau then you’re going to be disappointed. I honestly don’t know how much of this is real but it seems pretty obvious that this was just produced to get the beautiful Cousteau in front of the camera in a funny slant. The film is basically a bunch of vignettes where Cousteau talks to the camera and then we see the “action” of the story.Read More »

World ecological collapse; the next ice-age has already begun! Lucky for us, governments know what to do…

As it was produced like a documentary and meant to be shown an episode of the series “Science Report”, many people still believe Alternative 3 was based on a true story. The fact it has never been repeated on British TV has given ammunition to conspiracy theorists who believe Alternative 3 was meant to blow the whistle on an actual government project and alien threat. The film was originally intended to be broadcast on April Fools’Day as a hoax, but it was delayed until June by industrial action

From DVD booklet:
Right from the opening credits we come into contact with logograms, starting with the place where this desire to write was fantastically formed, inspired by the love Dotremont has for Gloria, the woman of his life for whom he invented this new poetic form. Throughout the film the camera records the position of the body, the hands, the progress of the ink, the birth of his visual poems, right up to the burning that awaits those that are not perfect. With the fictional reconstruction of a morning’s work, ‘Pension pluie de roses, Tervueren, Belgique’, the film also gives an account of a morning like any other, one that summarises all of them: the confinement of an ill man, connected to the world by a huge amount of correspondence, infinite telephone calls, an accumulation of papers, books, souvenirs from travels, with Lapland, a mythical place, ever present. A Lapp song, Dotremont’s gravelly voice, that of a correspondent, Gloria maybe, emphasize what the image shows, the creative effort during ‘Proust-like’ declining years that are confined and feverish.Read More »
