  • Amir Karakulov – Razluchnitsa AKA A Woman Between Two Brothers (1991)

    Drama1991-2000Amir KarakulovKazakhstanRomance

    The Cinema of Soviet Kazakhstan 1925–1991: An Uneasy Legacy
    Quote:
    Razluchnitsa is, first and foremost, a two-faceted love story: about the love between men and women, and about the love between siblings. The violent removal of the one person who disturbs the peace in the brothers’ home seems to happen with the quiet approval of both Adil and Rustem. This gives the story, which for two-thirds of the film resembles a late 1950s’ French nouvelle vague picture, an unexpected edge. Even the title appears in a paradoxical light: normally, the word “razluchnitsa” refers to a woman who is loved by a married man who then leaves his wife and family to be with her (the English translation is “homewrecker”).

  • Roy Stuart – Glimpse 1 (1990)

    1981-1990ArthouseEroticaFranceRoy Stuart

    Quote:
    The new Glimpse Video is unlike anything Roy’s done before, unlike any porn video ever, in fact. After viewing its unprecedented two hours and 20 minutes I called Roy and told him he should be entering this in film festivals because he’s done what so many have attempted and failed to do.
    The New Glimpse Video is an exquisitely photographed experimental film with an eclectic sound track. It has been filmed and mastered using digital video equipment for superior image and sound quality. There are more than 30 women in over 40 separate scenes. The women are very real, right down to their abundant bushes, wet red pussies and lovely natural breasts, without being the tired housewives we’ve come to associate with American all-natural sex tapes. The women on this tape are truly beautiful, many European fashion models, often quite young, and yet they’re engaging in acts usually reserved for the coarsest old pros.Read More »

  • Peter Kuran – Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie (1995) (HD)

    USA1991-2000DocumentaryPeter Kuran

    Peter Kuran’s legendary and award-winning 1995 documentary Trinity and Beyond is easy to at first dismiss as explosion porn. Nothing could be further from the truth. He discusses the engineering issues with key physicists from Los Alamos, resurrects illuminating television and military documentary footage to punctuate the nuclear zeitgeist, and features in-depth chronologies of nuclear test operations using recently-declassified, digitally-restored footage. All this narrated in a tomb-like whisper by the great William Shatner and set to a haunting score provided by (the appropriately ironic) Moscow Symphony Orchestra. You’ve never had a better seat to the greatest expose on mankind perfecting its own annihilation than this keeper of a film.Read More »
