Angry Monk - Monaco arrabbiato: Riflessioni sul Tibet (2005)

Watermarks - Tre lettere dalla Cina

In tre stazioni, il film racconta le fratture a cui la Cina di oggi è esposta a causa del rapido sviluppo: nell'ingannevolmente idilliaca Yangshuo, nel sud piovoso; nell'apocalittica regione carbonifera di Wuhai, nel nord arido; e a Chongqing, il gigante urbano sul fiume Yangtze. I protagonisti parlano del passato irrisolto, del difficile presente e dei loro timidi passi verso il futuro. Il film dipinge un quadro a più livelli dello stato d'animo della gente di questo complicato Paese.

Made in Hong Kong

Il film Made in Hong Kong offre uno sguardo su una Hong Kong poco prima del passaggio alla Cina. Sei diverse storie di vita si mescolano ai paesaggi urbani saggistici del regista per formare un ritratto sfaccettato di Hong Kong. Sempre più spesso si intravedono anche gli enormi problemi che la città portuale dovrà affrontare in futuro: la ristrettezza geografica, la concretezza architettonica, l'economia in esplosione e l'incertezza politica relativa al 1997.

La straordinaria fuga dal campo 7A

Prigioniero di guerra, nello zoo di Monaco Stephen Brooks deve curarsi di Lucy, un'elefantessa, e le si affeziona a tal punto che, avutane l'occasione, rinuncia a fuggire. Dovendo trasferire Lucy a Innsbruck, Stephen viaggia con due militari e una giovane cuoca. Lungo la strada, Brooks sopprime un soldato della scorta che minacciava di uccidere Lucy, poi decide di raggiungere la Svizzera valicando i monti insieme all'animale. L'originalità del soggetto trabocca nell'eccesso, e il film diventa stucchevole. Uno dei classici colossi semiseri e strampalati che si producevano nel periodo.

Red Monsoon

It is hard for Karuna to believe that her husband Krishna is seeking gratification in someone else's arms, and when her friend Anushka suggests as much, she resists. Chetana, battling her own feelings of loss, reaches out for Krishna's extended hand. Against the clamorous backdrop of the age-old Machhendranath festival, a thoroughly contemporary drama plays out in the bylanes and courtyards of Patan town. Through the characters, we glimpse a society in transition, where individuals are left to fend for themselves in the anonymity of the city. The film is steeped with the angst of uncertainty created by an economy in the doldrums, with the anger of youth, and with the befuddlement of elders, as protagonists try to adjust to new realities, some with a care for ethics and some without. This is where Krishna finds himself at the end, as Chetana and Karuna decide for themselves. The air is pregnant with possibilities, but the rains do not arrive in Red Monsoon.
