Amer

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1426352/
I don´t really know how to describe this movie. But let´s try atleast.
Mix in the cinematography from Susperia - the use of colors and the suspensfull scenes. Also add some of the italian trademark from the late 70s and early 80s - extreme zooming in on the eyes, for example, and other bodyparts. Mix in some sensuality, eroticism from the movie Lolita and try to do it with todays standards, without any necesserly dialoge. Feel like this would suite you? Then, you will love, adore and feel confused when you see Amer.

However, it is somehow unfair to mention these movies becouse Amer is a movie that anyone can appriciate and love. You may not understand - don´t get me wrong on this - but the beauty of this artistic poetic surrealistic semi ghost story is simply mindblowing in all it´s freedom.

Ana enfant - The young Ana (Cassandra Forêt) lives with her mother (Bianca Maria D'Amato) in an big old house, in the big old house an older woman lives next door to Anas room. What happens in that episode has much meaning to what happens in the second episode, Ana adolescente - where Ana are a teen, now played by Charlotte Eugène Guibeaud and here is the erotic parts happens that in some way reminds me of Lolita.

Marie Bos as Ana adule; Ana the elder. Her erotic visions and somehow nightmarish fantasy towards men is filmed in such a way that you almoust feel ashamed for watching it. Not only the cab scene where her panic turns her on, but also the bathtub scene later on.
I will not try to review Amer any further, becouse this is a masterpiece you have to see and understand for yourself.

Remember this when you watch Amer.
This is a tribute to the artform itself.
Amer is a story told in picture, colors, sounds, excellent camerawork.
It might be a subtile horror movie, but Amer is somehow a lovestory, For the love of cinema and all the dreams it creates.

A definitive Must Have. For everyone.

No stills this time becouse first thing; it would be unjustice for the movie and for you.
Second; You have to see this for yourself.

Sentô shôjo: Chi no tekkamen densetsu

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1590796/
Rin (Yumi Sugimoto) is a bullied 16year old girl, actually she is only 15, but she 10minutes into the movie get celebrated by her parents on her 16th birthday.
The girls at school think she is somekind of freak and throw shoes at her and knocks her out cold. There is something thou about her hand that has mysterious powers.














The movie however starts with 3 girls attacking some men with machineguns attached to their noses (seemingly the machineguns looks like a mans penis).
Heads being sliched and mutates into big ballons and brains and other messy stuff fly all over the place.













So, at Rins birthday party her dad (wonderfully played by Kanji Tsuda) tells her about her special powers. Rin ofcourse is chocked, but suddenly some men with machine guns attached to their noses walks in.

Rin is being chased down the street and a local news reporter and her camera crew follows her and some memorable quotes and funny scenes happens.

Right from the start we are more or less told the moral of the story, presented in a funny splattering way that only japanese film directors can do; some of us are different but in all our differences we are all capable of doing great things.
It is also a spoof or tribute to the classic tale on X:Men.
The director Noboru Iguchi also pays tribute to his classic Hajirai mashin gâru.













Even a tribute to the most classic scene in Cannibal Holocaust is here.













Rin is being taken to a place where she will learn to control her special powers and she also gets an cute assistent named Yoshie
(also a tribute to Hajirai mashin gâru) who this time is played by the cute Suzuka Morita.











Rin is being trained and even slightly tortured with electric.

Noboru Iguchi - the director/screenwriter, is soon a living legend, if he allready isn´t one.
This movie has so many great quotes and scenes that if I would write them all down it would be to much, so I sudgest you buy this movie as soon as possible.
If you don´t find this movie hillarious then you have no sense of humor ^_^
