喋血孤城 (2010)

For Those We Love

Nel 1943, mentre lo sforzo giapponese della Seconda Guerra Mondiale vacilla, un vice ammiraglio propone di addestrare squadroni di aviatori "volontari" per far schiantare i loro aerei armati contro le navi da guerra alleate. Yarn segue le vite dei piloti kamikaze, ricordate da un anziano ristoratore di Kyushu che ne conserva la memoria. Onorare i morti e molteplici inni militari può smuovere l'anima di alcuni giapponesi, ma altrove gli aud faranno un viaggio di sola andata per le uscite. Le scene di battaglia sono ben eseguite e la sceneggiatura offre alcune scene memorabili, ma nel complesso una guida competente e l'interpretazione sono impotenti sulla narrazione ripetitiva dello scrittore e governatore di Tokyo Shintaro Ishiara. Un post scriptum del dopoguerra aggiunge una lunghezza considerevole a una narrativa già troppo estesa. I crediti tecnici sono di buona qualità.

Blood Spilled at Takadanobaba

The tale of Nakayama Yasubei’s duel is famous, even if he in reality probably did not cut down 18 opponents. The story has been related in film, rakugo, kodan and on stage many times, in part because Nakayama later joined the famous 47 Ronin (Chushingura) as Horibe Yasubei. But Makino and Inagaki’s version gives no hint of this more serious future, playing up the thrills and the comedy with Bando’s bravura performance. The multiple pans of Yasubei running to the duel are an exemplar of the experimental flourishes of 1930s Japanese cinema and the final duel, performed virtually like a dance number, is a marker of Makino’s love of rhythm and one of the best sword fights in Japanese film history. The film was originally released under the title Chikemuri Takadanoba (Bloody Takadanobaba) with a length of 57 minutes, but suffered some cuts and a title change when it was re-released in 1952.

Marty Feldman: Six Degrees of Separation

A documentary about the legendary and influential comedian, actor and writer, who went out from the BBC to conquer Hollywood, but sadly the system quickly withdrew its support when they couldn't contain his talents. This portrait is spiked with many comments from people who knew Feldman privately or had dealt with him professionally. His early death sadly rendered him all but forgotten by the public. The compilation consists of interviews, some film clips and photos as well as various audio clips from him.

The Circus

In the vestibule of a hospital room, a young boy waits to see his dying mother. The clamor and spiralling movements of bodies around him intensify, forming a grotesque circus—a cacophonous circle that pushes the child back, depriving him of one final touch of his mother's hand. Using rotoscoped drawings suggestive of charcoal sketches, as well as 3D and object animation techniques, The Circus compels viewing with its unsettling realism. Colour is employed metaphorically to subtly express the promise and the memory of maternal affection. Nicolas Brault's highly personal film, suffused with poetic modesty, casts a poignantly sincere gaze on the heartbreak of a child facing the fearful, mysterious experience of his mother's death.
