    2003 - Coffee and Cigarettes   

    1963 - Eight & a Half

    The scenario; several characters meet and play out different dynamics as they indulge in coffee and cigarettes. There are multiple situations which vary in the kind drama, from the amusing and obscure, to the odd and and ridiculous. All scenes though are highly entertaining and Jim Jarmusch brings fresh perspective to the craft of filmmaking.

    2014 - Afronauts

    1960 - Come Back, Africa

    2007 - Persepolis  


    From the opening titles, there is a playful nostalgia. There begins an image of a petaled flower plucked by the wind from its root, drifting about from one familiar scene to another, whimsical. This would come to resemble the life our main character Marjane would lead in this coming of age tale...     




    1952 - The Life of Oharu

                          

     





    This period piece by Kenji Mizoguchi set in the late 1600s looks into the fate of a woman whose very existence seems to be at the mercy of others. Being born into a family of good lineage and standing, Oharu lives a pampered and respectable life, well guarded by the confines of her home and group of belonging.  Very early in the film though, a man of lower standing lures Oharu into a suspect location and reveals his undying love for her...
