EL TOPO (1971)

Certification18 Our Rating

The highly eccentric and totally brilliant Alexandro Jodorowsky doesn't make films like anybody else. Directed, written by and starring the man himself "El Topo" is a violent, surreal, quasi-religious Western, if that makes sense (which like the film it doesn't). AJ plays the nomadic lone gunslinger of the title, mostly shooting people for the first half, before being reincarnated as the comedian-cum-holyman protector of a community of deformed outcasts. No doubt some would attempt to read all s find out more...

FLANDRES (2007)

Certification18 Our Rating

Flanders tells the story of a group of young men, including local farmer Demster, from rural northern France, who go to fight, with brutal consequences, in a war in an unnamed Middle Eastern country. Juxtaposing rural images of their home village against the savage and unrelenting landscape of battle, the film charts familiar Dumont territory offering a unique vision against the backdrop of an unconventional love story between Demester and his fragile, sometime girlfriend, Barbe. find out more...

May, hounded by cowboy drifter and half-brother Eddie, tries to hide from him in a seedy out-of-the-way neon-lit New Mexican motel, but he finds her. The film explores the history of their relationship, mainly from their childhoods, that has led them to this point. It's very easy to feel sympathy for the characters and to understand that their complex and passionate dysfunctional relationship is a result of past events out of their control. We mainly watch them fight, make up, fight, make up and find out more...

KANDAHAR (2001)

Nafas is an Afghan journalist living in Canada when she gets a message from her sister, still living in the place of their birth, pronouncing that come the next solar eclipse she will commit suicide. Nafas decides to make the perilous journey to her home land and find her sister, returning to the veil she had long left behind on her return to a country ravaged by civil war and still under the iron grip of the Taliban.

Life is crazy. You're crazy, I'm crazy, we're all crazy. We're all a little bit Minnie, and a little bit Moskowitz. Sometimes it does seem best to be sensible...but then what might you be missing out on? You gotta be you. You don't have to park cars and semi-randomly yell at people, but you can't hide yourself behind a veil (or dark sunglasses) and pretend and act like ever find out more...

The Mountain Patrol are a pitifully ill-equipped and underfunded volunteer force fighting a relentless, and seemingly hopeless, battle against the poachers of Tibet's increasingly rare antelopes. Based on a true story and shot in a pseudo-documentary style, "Mountain Patrol" is a visually ravishing and grippingly brutal tale of men surviving on what seems like the edge of the world. Set in the beautiful harsh landscapes of Tibet, the locations are stunning, and the local colour vivid. find out more...
