肯普法 第一季

Nothing really looks what it really is when you look from a distance and so is Jinwoo’s quiet life, far from the hectic, stressful city life, tucked away in the beauty of the Korean countryside, welcomed with open arms by a loving new “family” that has accepted, on their sheep ranch, him and Seol, his wonderful niece who he loves as if she were his own daughter.But when Park Kun-young's careful and precise direction begins to focus on the details of Jinwoo's existence, slowly revealing his restless soul, we gradually discover the complexity of the reasons that led to Jinwoo's extreme choice to retire in the countryside to live like a shepherd.The arrival at the ranch of Jinwoo’s longtime male friend from university, Hyunmin, upsets all balance. Moonkyeong, the ranch owner’s daughter, who has a crush on Jinwoo, accidentally discover the two men in bed and shortly afterwards Jinwoo’s twin sister, and Seol’s birth mother, shows up at the ranch after years of absence and silence and wants to take her daughter back to Seoul.The community of that small country place, which seemed kind and nice, slowly reveals their true colours and deep disapproval of the two men's relationship. The fragile sandcastle of happiness that Jinwoo has struggled to build is crumbling and the cold, harsh winter is upon him.Giovanna Fulvi

沖縄のさとうきび農場で働くギルー（小林薫）は、農場の親方西原の娘マリーを抱く夢を見る。ギルーはマリーを毛遊び（沖縄独特の風習で、若い男女がいっしょに夜を明かして遊ぶ）に誘うが…沖縄土着の幻想的世界をマジックレアリズムのような手法をとって描いた作品。言葉はウチナーで、日本語の字幕がつけられる。沖縄の音楽もふんだんに盛り込まれている。立松和平の小説で同じ題名のものがあるが、この映画とは時代設定が異なる。もともとは沖縄に伝わる民話のようなものらしく、この映画も立松和平の小説も映画で劇中劇として演じられる舞台も、そのバリエーションであるといえるだろう。

At the invitation of the mainland Chinese government, Shirley MacLaine took a contingent of seven American women of multiple races, ages and socioeconomic levels to China for a tour. Accompanied by government guides, these personable women toured Beijing, Shanghai, Canton and Hangchow. Among the highlights: a Caesarian childbirth under acupuncture anaesthesia, farms, homes, schools, and day-care centers. Clearly a propaganda piece, various outrageous claims by officials are made for the wholesomeness of Chinese life. Nonetheless, the film is well-photographed and the individuals involved in the tour are personable and charming.
