So, to recap, the movies we saw and those we wanted to see:
Paris, Je T’aime
– Essentially 18 short films by different directors all about love in Paris, fantastic.
Kaze No Tami No Naushika
– Superb animation about a future world ravaged by pollution, where giant insects and humans try and live in the areas left untouched, until the warring nations fight over a super weapon
Fast Food Nation
– Nice but ordinary look at the American fast food industry
Taxidermia
– A gross look at three lives, the grandfather, a masturbating soldier looking for love, the father, a speed eater for Bulgaria looking for success, the son, a taxidermist looking for immortality
BOFFO! Tinseltown’s Bombs and Blockbusters
– All about film-making in Hollywood, what drives people, how it works
An Incovenient Truth
– Documentary about Al Gore trying to wake the world up to global warming
Southland Tales
– A confusing story about things that are high on the US political agenda by Richard Kelly
Over the Hedge
– A solid, though not ground-breaking, animated comedy.
This includes films I’d subsequently liked to have checked out after hearing more about them.
and the short films:
Een Ingewikkeld Verhaal, Eenvoudig Verteld
