|
| story: |
In the 1950s, Berry, the father living with his
wife and five children, opened the hotel New Hampshire. A series
of misfortunes fall upon the family: the oldest girl raped,
the grandfather died, the hotel got in financial difficulties,
his wife and the youngest son died in airplane crash. However,
the family never loses hope and joy. A story of a thriving family
told with humor. Film of the Bestseller by John Irving, a wunderkind
of American contemporary literature.
|
| point: |
It's striking that the oldest Frannie has a lesbian
relationship with Susie. It is courageous to see how the kids
live their lives proactively regardless of all the problems
they have. Berry the father's lesson, "Let the open window
pass," is impressive. It excellently depictured an epic
by John Irving and is worth seeing once.

La
Pirate/The Pirate (France 1984)
Directed by Jacques Doillon
Featuring Jane Birkin, Maruschka Detmers
|
| story: |
A story of Alma who is beloved of all, and four
people who run after her; her husband Andrew, ex-girlfriend
Carol, a mysterious girl with Carol, and Andrew's famulus, n-5.
Carol, who carries over her feeling toward Alma, and the mysterious
girl together took Alma away from her husband by force. Andrew
asked n-5 for bring her back.
|
| point: |
La Pirate is feminine noun of Pirate in French,
and representing Carol who is strong and tries to bear off Alma
abandoning herself to the feeling toward Alma. Jane Birkin rarely
embodies Alma who loves everyone but can't really love anyone.
Andrew Birkin who played Alma's husband is a real brother of
Jane Birkin. Director's taste can be seen in that casting.
