Chained Heat (1983)

12 Jun 2010 20:43
Chained HeatGenres: Action | Crime | Drama | Thriller
Countries: USA | West Germany
Directors: Paul Nicholas
Actors: Linda Blair | John Vernon | Sybil Danning | Tamara Dobson | Stella Stevens | Henry Silva | Sharon Hughes | Kendal Kaldwell | Robert Miano | Dee Biederbeck | Greta Blackburn | Nita Talbot | Louisa Moritz | Jennifer Ashley | Jody Medford
Linda Blair plays Carol, a young woman who must serve 18 months in prison after killing a man (by accident). The prison turns out to be brimming with decadence, corruption and sleaze, where the other female inmates are sadistic crack-selling lesbian rapists and the guards and warden are no better. Racial tensions are high as the inmates is divided into two factions, blacks and whites, who must either join together against the management or kill each other trying. A sleazy blend of sexploitation and blaxploitation make this movie a real winner.

Karl May (1974)

12 Jun 2010 19:58
Karl MayGenres: Biography | Drama | History | War
Countries: West Germany
Directors: Hans-Jürgen Syberberg
Actors: Helmut Käutner | Kristina Söderbaum | Käthe Gold | Attila Hörbiger | William Trenk | Mady Rahl | Lil Dagover | Rudolf Prack | Rainer von Artenfels | Leon Askin | Marquard Bohm | Wolfgang Büttner | Peter Chatel | Erwin Faber | Rudolf Fernau
This is a biographical movie about famous best selling German writer, noted mainly for books set in the American Old West, (best known for the characters of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand) and similar books set in the Orient and Middle East. The film is structured as a kind of biography, and the long central scene of a courtroom battle marks the collapse of May's dreams as he gets more and more deeply embroiled in the realities of Prussian jurisprudence. The matter-of-fact historical framework acquires an added resonance from the fact that all the main parts are played by prominent figures from the Nazi cinema of the '30s. The mesh of fact, fiction, realism and expressionism is complex and fascinating.

Dearest Love (1971)

Dearest LoveGenres: Drama
Countries: France | Italy | West Germany
Directors: Louis Malle
Actors: Lea Massari | Benoît Ferreux | Daniel Gélin | Michael Lonsdale | Ave Ninchi | Gila von Weitershausen | Fabien Ferreux | Marc Winocourt | Micheline Bona | Henri Poirier | Liliane Sorval | Corinne Kersten | Eric Walter | François Werner | René Bouloc
This is a jolly coming-of-age story about a 15-year-old boy named Laurent Chevalier who is growing up in bourgeois surroundings in Dijon, France. This is France in the mid-1950s rather than America in the 1990s. Thus, Laurent is unharmed by events which would irreparably shatter the self-esteem of a modern American adolescent: he gets drunk, he smokes, he has sex, he is smothered by his mother, he is ignored by his father, a priest makes a pass at him, he gets rheumatoid fever, etc. There's enough scandalous behavior in this film to make 100 made-for-TV movies, and yet this is a very happy and oddly innocent tale.
