Chinese artist Chen Wenling critiques the global financial crisis in What You See Might Not Be Real, on display at a Beijing gallery. The bull is said to represent Wall Street, while the man pinned to the wall represents jailed financier Bernard Madoff.
Les Parapluies De Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) is a fantastic, award-winning french classic from 1964, directed by Jacques Demy and starring the stunning Catherine Deneuve. Demy used a sort of exaggerated expression through colour and sound. Every visual element to the film is vibrantly coloured, and the entire script is sung. Check out this beautiful timeless romance!
In Lars and the Real Girl, Ryan Gosling plays a quiet man who orders a sex doll over the internet and comes to believe it's his girlfriend. This comedy is heartfelt, and the premise is quite different. Check it out!
Butterfly On A Wheel (AKA Shattered) stars Pierce Brosnan and came out in 2007. Its got some great plot twists and I really don't want to give anything away... just go watch it!
It is not possible to describe this film using the words of any language. The visuals are beyond anything that has ever been perceived by my imagination. It is beyond creative, beyond fantasy, beyond acid trip. Although the story line isn't overly epic, this is an absolute must-see, and (for lack of a better word) a complete mindf***.
This movie is the best kid's fantasy out there. The Neverending Story brings reality and imagination together in a fantastic world with rock biters, racing snails, oracles, flying luck dragons, bullies and more! Get ready for some intense character development and lame 80s acting... as well as the best quote of all time: "To the winch, wench!"
Much like yesterday's Must-See Movie, The Fountain, The Air I Breathe features 4 stories that get woven together (each based on an ancient Chinese proverb that breaks life down into four emotional cornerstones: happiness, pleasure, sorrow and love). However, unlike The Fountain, The Air I Breathe is the kind of movie I would suggest to absolutely anyone (except kids...). It's got romance. It's got some mob action. Its got drama. Its got car chases and guns. Its got tragedy. And it has artistic merit. Directed by Jieho Lee and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Brendan Fraser, Forest Whitaker,Andy Garcia, and Kevin Bacon, it came out in 2007 but surprisingly not many people have heard of it.
