Synopsis



Karma, a Tibetan filmmaker from New York, goes to Dharamsala, the Dalai Lama's exile headquarters in northern India, to make a documentary about former political prisoners who have escaped from Tibet. She wants to reconnect with her roots but is also escaping a deteriorating relationship back home.

One of Karma's interviewees is Dhondup, an enigmatic ex-monk who has just escaped from Tibet. He confides in her that his real reason for coming to India is to fulfill his dying mother's last wish, to deliver a charm box to a long-missing resistance fighter. Karma finds herself unwittingly falling in love with Dhondup even as she is sucked into the passion of his quest, which becomes a journey into Tibet's fractured past and a voyage of self-discovery.

Fireworks Wednesday

Fireworks Wednesday (2006)
Alternate Title: Chahar Shanbeh Suri
Running Time: 104 Minutes
Country: Iran
Director: Asghar Farhadi
Cast: Hedye Tehrani, Taraneh Alidoosti, Hamid Farrokhnezhad, Pantea Bahram, Sahar Dolatshahi
Iranian director Asghar Farhadi's third feature, Chahar Shanbeh Suri (aka Fireworks Wednesday), follows Rouhi (Taraneh Alidoosti), a betrothed woman who works for a local housekeeping agency. When she accepts an assignment cleaning the home of an affluent married couple about to leave on vacation, this newcomer to the household is quickly sucked into a virulent nuptial conflict of deceit, treachery, and vitriol that challenges all of her presuppositions about the nature of married life. By cloaking the events of the household (and their precipitants) in ambiguity, and constantly shifting the central perspective of the film from one character to another, Farhadi adds depth and complexity to the work and continually challenges the audience, forcing each viewer to rewrite his or her presuppositions about the characters. Though the film's title refers, in the metaphoric sense, to the explosiveness of domestic strife, the events in the film coincide with the firework-strewn Persian New Year of March 21, which lends the title a literal significance as well

Writer/Director:István Szabó

István Szabó (born February 18, 1938 in Budapest) is both the best-known and one of the most critically acclaimed Hungarian film directors of the past few decades. In the 1960s and '70s he directed auteur films in Hungarian, which explore his own generation's experiences and recent Hungarian history (Father, in Hungarian: Apa (1966); Lovefilm, in Hungarian: Szerelmesfilm (1970); 25 Fireman's street, in Hungarian: Tűzoltó utca 25. (1973)). For the public beyond arthouse cinema, his signature film trilogy consists of Mephisto (1981, winner of an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and a Cannes Award for the Best Screenplay), Colonel Redl (1984, winner of a Jury Prize at the Cannes Festival) and Hanussen (1988). He made a switch to English-language films with Meeting Venus (1991), Sunshine (1999), Taking Sides (2001) and most recently Being Julia (2004), which garnered an Oscar nomination for actress Annette Bening.
His most acclaimed films came from his work with famed Austrian actor Klaus Maria Brandauer, and his ongoing collaboration and friendship with cinematographer Lajos Koltai. In 1996 he was awarded with a Pulitzer Prize for his TV documentary series, "The hundred years of cinema".
Istvan Szabó’s films are notable because he works with a rich spectrum of possibilities and decisions, which only when seen in their totality attain the poetic quality that becomes the viewer’s primary experience. Istvan Szabó reacts like a sensitive membrane to everything that has happened around him in the past or is just happening. At the same time he builds solely from motives that brand a film reel with the mark of an individual personality. This is true even when he strives for seemingly objective symbols such as, for example, a streetcar—“that constantly recurring, tangibly real and yet poetically long logogram for his individual and very special world.” Such were the words of the noted Hungarian historian and film theoretician Josef Marx as he considered the work of director Szabó. They underscore the essential characteristic of Szabó’s work: its inventiveness, which in his films takes on general forms in the broadest sense.
Szabó’s first feature film, Álmodozások kora, together with Gaal’s Sordásban, was the most expressive confession of an artistic generation and became a model for other artists, while his entire work has built up an unprecedented picture of contemporary life and its activities. In his earliest period Szabó’s starting point was his own experience, which he transformed into artistic images. At the same time he carefully absorbed everything that was happening around him. He attempted to discern the essence of modern people, and to come to an understanding of their concerns, endeavors, and aspirations. His films examine young engineers at the start of their careers; the personal ideals of a young man on the threshold of maturity; the changing relationship of two people, framed within a quarter-century of Hungarian history; the dreams and locked-up memories of people living together in an old apartment building; the story of an ordinary city streetcar with an allegorical resemblance to our contemporaries; the love and distrust between a pair of completely different people in a charged wartime atmosphere; and a deep probe into the character of a young actor whose talents are displayed and subordinated by the totalitarian power of nascent German fascism.
All of these films are linked by the setting off of intimate confession against historical reality. The images of Szabó’s films are full of poetry and the symbolism of dreamlike conceptions. They capture the small dramas of ordinary people—their disappointments, successes, loves, enthusiasms, moments of anxiety and ardor, joy and pain—as the history of post-war Hungary passes by in contrapuntal detail. Istvan Szabó creates auteur films in which the shaping of the theme and the screenplay are just as important as the direction, so that the resulting works bears a unique stamp. The heroes of his films are not only people, but also cities, streets, houses, parks. In his films, his native Budapest serves as the point of intersection of human fates. Under Szabó’s creative eye the city awakens, stirs, arises, wounded after the tumult of the war, and lives with its heroes.
In the early 1980s Istvan Szabó deviated from the rule of auteur films (the model for his film Mephisto was a novel by Klaus Mann). This detracted nothing from the importance of the work, which won an Oscar and several other awards. Even in this film the director left his imprint; he managed to develop it into a picture of personal tragedy painted into a fresco of historical events. At the same time, it shows that the creative process is a tireless search for pathways. Only a responsible approach to history and the way it is shaped can help the artist gain a complete understanding of today’s world.
“To awaken an interest in the people I want to tell about; to capture their essence so that a viewer can identify with them; to broaden people’s understanding and sympathy—and my own as well: That’s what I’d like to do,” Istvan Szabó once said in an interview. His films are an affirmation of this credo.

Besieged (1998)
(Run time: 90 min.),
directed by Bernardo Bertolucci,
written by Claire Peploe and Bertolucci,
photographed by Fabio Cianchetti and
starring Thandie Newton and David Thewlis.

What we have here is one of that rare breed of movies that can flaunt both style and substance; visual éclat as well as thoughtful thematic undertones. Coming to us from the famed Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci (The Last Emperor, Stealing Beauty), Besieged is an involving, artful love story and a meditative look at lives lost and lives gained as one moves to a higher social existence.
The film begins with African folk music, and a young woman named Shangurai (Thandie Newton) riding her bike along a bumpy road in what seems to be South Africa. Menacing-looking cars pass her, and before long she sees her husband, a local schoolteacher, being dragged to jail. Devastated, Shangurai relocates to Rome (the move happens in a flash: I missed it), where she becomes a live-in housekeeper for an eccentric American man named Mr. Kinsky (David Thewlis).
Kinsky falls in love with the beautiful Shangurai and passionately asks for her hand in marriage, saying that he will do anything to make her love him, to which she responds "Get my husband out of jail!" The impeccably well-intentioned Kinsky backs off, and unbeknownst to her starts a campaign to set Shangurai's hubby free. Evidently, she figures it out and is shocked, because he sells everything, including his beloved piano to make his love happy.
The significance of Besieged lies in the transition between Shangurai's two lives. Her first is the one she led in Africa, and the culture and memories stick with her. She has trouble letting them go; this is manifested through music and her faith for her lost husband. And yet as her life in Rome progresses, she is mesmerized by Kinsky and his existence until finally, in the ending, their heretofore affair erupts and leaves Shangurai's previous life outside the front door.
This is at the core of Bertolucci's film, which actually consists of minimal dialogue. What it does have, however, is visuals aplenty; a cornucopia of gorgeous images and deft camerawork. Bertolucci has a way of moving the camera at blazing speed yet having the film flow smoothly. Watch for this during Shangurai and Kinsky's first main conversation: the lens moves frantically from one face to the other creating a level of tension while at the same time maintaining the film's consistently hypnotic mood and pace.
Bernardo Bertolucci
Very few international directors in the past four decades have managed to remain at the “critically successful” as consistently as Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci, whose career has straddled three generations of filmmaking, four continents, and several movie industries. Alongside his provocative explorations of sexuality and ideology, his highly kinetic visual style – often characterised by elaborate camera moves, meticulous lighting, symbolic use of colour, and inventive editing – has influenced several generations of filmmakers, from the American “movie brats” of the 1970s to the music video auteurs of the '80s and '90s. Perhaps the most important reason for Bertolucci's continuing relevance has been the intensely personal nature of his movies: although he makes narrative features, very often based (albeit loosely) on outside literary sources, Bertolucci's films over the decades reveal distinct connections to their creator's private dilemmas and the vagaries of his creative and intellectual life. In other words, he has been able to fulfill his dream of being able “to live films” and “to think cinematographically” – to lay bare his inner life through his work.
Bertolucci was born to a prosperous family in Parma, Italy. His father, Attilio, was a well-known poet and writer. He exerted a considerable influence on the young Bernardo, who became an award-winning poet himself at the age of 21 and spent his teen years enamoured with the cinema, thanks to his father's work as a film critic. At around the same time, Bernardo entered the world of filmmaking as an assistant to another Italian poet, Attilio's friend Pier Paolo Pasolini, on the writer's first feature, Accatone (1961). A five-page treatment by Pasolini led to Bertolucci's own first feature, The Grim Reaper (La commare secca) (1962), an episodic, Rashomon-style investigation into the murder of a prostitute seen through the points-of-view of the dispossessed denizens of a Roman park. The impression of youth shows: The Grim Reaper, despite showing some early signs of Bertolucci's personal style (expressionistic lighting, a highly mobile camera, and an inventive, time-hopping narrative structure), feels more like a Pasolini film, not the least because of its subproletarian milieu.
Many of Bertolucci's early films work simultaneously as homages and exorcisms. Pasolini and Jean-Luc Godard were the filmmaker's twin spiritual fathers in the 1960s, and the latter's influence is clearly evident in Partner (1968), Bertolucci's third feature, an attempt at the elliptical, playful, highly symbolic, and politically active style of Godard's post-nouvelle vague filmmaking. A loose adaptation of Dostoevsky's The Double, Partner is the story of a young idealist (Pierre Clementi) who is faced with his politically revolutionary, socially active, and possibly psychotic doppelganger. Full of attempts at Brechtian distanciation (onscreen text, direct address to the camera, etc.), the film today retains a certain fascination for the ways in which the power of Bertolucci's burgeoning lyricism and cinematic confidence clash with the fragmented, highly declarative style of Godard's more political films.
