customer 's review (Good movie)  
(A FLAMBOYANT ROMANCE FROM THE GOLDEN AGE)    
(Anastasia)    
(NIce movie big lie!)  
(Thoroughly enjoyable!)    I bought this for my father. He loves it. It's a good movie. Njoy Anatole Litvak's ANASTASIA is a lovely romance, generously laced with sardonic wit, and charm. The chemistry between Ingrid Bergman, and Yul Brynner is quite intense, and their performances are enchanting, as is that of the great Helen Hayes. The movie is magical, the color is glorious, and the sound is, unfortunately, sub-standard. A classic like this deserves better. This is a warm fuzzy kind of movie; bought it for my Mom for her birthday as the golden oldies are a safe bet ;0) Thanks to the almighty God that they finally found the remainder of this poor child and the history of this girl is forever closed! No more speculations! The performances by Bergman and Brynner really escalate this film into greatness. I wish more people would see this. Its such a beautiful and subtle film. Ingrid Bergman gives one of her memorable, haunting, and haunted performances as an amnesiac chosen by a White Russian general (Yul Brynner) in 1928 to play the part of Anastasia, the long-rumored but missing survivor of the Bolsheviks' murderous attack on the czar's family. The twist is that Bergman's mystery woman seems to know more about the lost Anastasia than she is told. Based on the play by Marcelle Maurette and Guy Bolton, this film--directed by Anatole Litvak (Out of the Fog)--really does get under one's skin, not least of all because of its intriguing story but even more because of the strong chemistry between Bergman and Brynner.--Tom Keogh An expatriate White Russian general sets in motion a grand hoax after he meets a destitute woman on the banks of the Seine River in Paris. He is amazed at her resemblance to Anastasia, the youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas of Russia, rumored to have somehow survived the Bolsheviks' execution of the Romanoff family in 1918. He trains her to impersonate the missing princess but soon begins to feel she may be the real Anastasia. Ultimately, the truth can only be decided by one person Anastasia's grandmother, the Dowager Empress. Rerations < Anastasia (1956) [VHS] >

customer 's review (Reconstruction)   
(Superb cult movie!)    
(The Marriage of Maria Braun)
(Fassbinder's Best Film)    
(MASTERPIECE)     "The Marriage of Maria Braun" is an interesting movie that gives the audience a look at the other side of WWII in Europe. I'm not about to make any case for sympathy towards the German side in that war but people are people and the civilians and returning soldiers had an enormous challenge to rebuild their lives, their families, and their country. We get a sense of this by watching the post-war life of a woman who had married in the midst of an air raid and only had a day-long honeymoon. As she waited for her husband to come home from the war, she finds the need to make adjustments. The movie is about those adjustments and I don't think it would be fair to elaborate because I had no hint of what was to come next and that helped me appreciate the movie all the more. Let's just say that Maria Braun reminded me a lot of Scarlet O'Hara.
I thought that "The Marriage of Maria Braun" was a very good movie because of how well I felt it brought out its' message of survival and its' consequences. I was satisfied that I had gotten the director's intended message but then I saw this sequence between what seemed to be the proper end and the cast and credits. What was that all about? I milled it over and wondered whether or not the director, Rainer Fassbinder, was trying to make a statement about the division of Germany. I could understand how one character's success and materialism represents West Germany. It's alliance with the West was enriching but may have involved compromising aspects of it's self-respect. Another character's imprisonment represented the confinement and lack of freedom of East Germany. I wonder if the point was to suggest that, after such a long seperation, the potential reunion was going to be difficult. If the ending throws you off, don't worry, the previous two hours says enough.
This film consolidated in all the world to Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Even he had a huge number of avid viewers who knew about him by other titles. This picture became the First German Film really commercial all over the world. Hanna Schygulla shone as a real Super Nova with this complex , intelligent and crude tale.
Fassbinder interweaved a web which linked almost fifteen years of live story through the eyes of a loyal woman whom suddenly after she marries, his husband is requested to participate in the War. From that day she will wait for him, day after day until she decides to make a breakthrough with the life when the hunger and the misery slowly will surround her whole family.
The rest of the story runs for you. Magnificent script, an anthological ending who still is shocking. Indeed this was film of the famous Trilogy with Lola and Veronika Voss.
The sudden death of Fassbinder in 1982, left the German Cinema literally orphan and his place still keeps empty.
The marriage that only elapsed a day and all night long.
You have got to be kidding. This film is a waste of time unless you like to view softcore porn of the interracial flavor. Sure, she wants to be successful, but why is it important to show all the sick details? To get the"full emotional impact"? So you can really feel what she went through? The psuedo-intellectual (this review makes no claim at intellectual) arguments and reviews simply don't hold water. What is this film trying to say? It simply tries to show what one woman went through during and after the war in her attempts to become propsperous while"waiting for her love". What a load of crap. While"waiting for her love", whom she hears is dead, she engages in love affairs, in which she simply claims to have detatched emotion from...well...er...motion...Again, what a load of crap. She is simply trying to make herself look good, and trying to lose herself by giving in to every (so-called)"guilty pleasure"she can to avoid feeling or experiencing what is really going on around her. This movie is a waste of time, and I would place it in the same category as a Clint Eastwood film for its gratuitous and unnecessary"love"scenes. Without a doubt this is Fassbinder's best film. Many of his others are too whacked or just have poor acting and plot, but with this one he was on target. This movie provides a shattering view of what it was like for a woman in post war Germany. Often we have seen movies that show what it was like in occupied europe during or after the war, but few movies have provided what the German civilian experience was like.Fassbinder provides his usual chaotic and striking images, which can sometimes be a little odd and weird, but work well here. From the nutty marriage in the beginning to the final tragic end, this movie provides a tour-de-force of what the ruin and devastation of the war was like for Germany and its people. Hanna Schygulla is an impressive and sexy actress! Her forward style combined with her good looks makes for a fascinating combination. She lights up every scene in this movie. There are some controversial moments in this film, which considering that it was done in the 1970s are pretty avant-garde. Interracial activities may be considered standard now in US movies, but 30 years ago this was very much a taboo subject. While this only comprises a small segment of the film, we can see that Fassbinder loved to deal with this kind of forbidden fruit. There is probably a lot of German cinematic technique that I am glossing over, which a film student would go ape over. I see the movie as a social-historical epic and thus my perspective is different. On many different levels this movie has interest, but I think its portrayal of the human cost of the Second World War on the German pysche is the most revealing. Even though a people may survive a devastating conflict, the emotional scars can linger for generations. Germany is still not a complete country pyschologically today because of the legacy of Hitler and the war, even with recent unification. Hence what appears on the surface to be Germany's almost bizarre aversion toward any kind of war today, even if justified. Those who have seen holocaust films like "Schlinder's List" should compare this film to see the other side of the coin (If they can). It might certainly prove educational. You won't see this kind of movie being made in Hollywood, ever! An utterly shattering experience, unlike anything you have ever seen before. Fassbinder was a master of the cinematic medium, creating vibrant characters, brilliant dialogue and unforgettable images. Incredible in every way, with Hanna Schygulla in one of her best performances.If you truly love great cinema, you must see this film. Hanna Schygulla was a true star in this remarkable, semi-allegorical drama by Rainer Werner Fassbinder about a woman whose new marriage soon becomes a long history of waiting for reunification with her husband as he goes off to war, gets lost on the Russian front, ends up in prison, and goes to America. Meanwhile, the phantom marriage suspends the title character in a destiny that leads to power and wealth while still anticipating his return. One of several cinematic metaphors by Fassbinder for the identity and experience of post-war Germany, this 1978 film looks more than ever like a masterpiece.--Tom Keogh Rerations < The Marriage of Maria Braun [VHS] >

customer 's review (It's only in that moment that I've lived...)  
(foreign version of Schindler's List)    
(A bit confusing...)  
(Didn't Get it)
(Shindler's List is King!)  Kjell Grede's "Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg" is a noble but ultimately flawed effort. The story focuses on the efforts of Raoul Wallenberg to save Jews in Budapest during WWII's final days. Although he comes from one of Sweden's wealthiest families, there's nothing outstanding about Raoul. He's an ordinary guy with ordinary talents who hasn't done anything remarkable; as the film begins, he's an importer of luxury foods. But on a train trip, he happens to see Jewish corpses being tossed out of a death camp-bound freight car, and a father, who jumped out of the car to be with his dead son, shot and killed. This experience changes Raoul's life. As he tells the skeptical committee considering him for relief work, it's only in that moment that he feels he's ever actually lived.
Grede's film focuses on the very last days of Wallenberg's Hungarian mission: the exhausting scramble to bribe German and Hungarian officials, racing against the clock to try to save the Jewish ghetto, a dramatic standoff with a Hungarian fascist, despair alternating with hope, and finally Wallenberg's mysterious disappearance into the Soviet Union.
The best moments of the film are when Stellan Skarsgard (Wallenberg) and Katharina Thalberg (Marja) are on-screen. Thalberg is especially good as the Jewish woman whose children have been killed and who refuses to wear anything but a man's overcoat because, when the Germans come to kill her, she wants them to see her naked, as a real person rather than a statistic. Skarsgard, whose acting style is low-key anyway, plays Wallenberg with a subdued intensity that seems just right.
But ultimately, neither Skarsgard nor Thalberg can save the film. The writing tends at times to be melodramatic--ruining, for example, the final confrontation between Wallenberg and the Hungarian fascist. There's too little exposure of Wallenberg's interior, so his motives for risking life and limb to save Jews remain a bit cloudy (despite the "It's only in that moment that I've lived" scene).
Still, the film is worth seeing. It highlights the remarkable efforts of Wallenberg, and it underscores the fact--so easy to forget in our rather cynical age--that every life, no matter how "insignificant," is worth superhuman efforts to save. Excellent story with graphic images that put you in Wallenberg's shoes. Incredible man. Incredible story. Must see film for Third Reich buffs. This movie may be a bit confusing to someone (like me) who does not know the history of Raoul Wallenberg. However, the movie improves upon a second viewing. Your asking me to review a movie I still have not received. When I get it, I can review it then. Good Evening Mr. Wallenberg has a great premise, but horrible filmmaking. The special effects are cheesy - there's no blood when the people are shot, which is totally bogus. Also, the copy that I received (which is being sold as authentic) is a cheap reproduction of a VHS tape (so it appears). The sound is horrible. The image is pixelated, and it freezes when you try to rewind it. This movie sucks a big doo-doo man! Don't ever, ever, ever in your life compare it to the likes of Steven Spielberg's 'Shindler's List'. The story of Raoul Wallenberg, one of the greatest unsung heroes of World War II who saved the lives of tens of thousands of Jews in the Budapest ghetto.

customer 's review (Not for Deneuve admirers)  
(The best French Deconstructivist Film)    
(Auteuil-Deneuve combine in fascinating cop story.)     Deneuve is in a subdued role in this film. She's also in a supporting role so the film cover is a bit misleading. The story is not as strong as others that she's chosen.Daniel Auteuil is great as the cop who is entangled in the life of a trouble-making young woman. Extremely sexy in this role, he plays the role of a strong yet conflicted law enforcer well. The film is a bit weak in its flow. It's not the worst film but it's also not extremely good either. Les Voleurs is an excellently acted, directed, and written film. This is Auteuil's finest acting to date. Furthermore, the film is the best example of the use of deconstructivism in film making. Les Voleurs is the reason why I believe the French are still the best film makers today. Just a warning to younger viewers. Some scenes can be disturbing. Daniel Auteuil never ceases to amaze. This versatile actor ("Jean de Florette,""Un Coeur en Hiver") is never the same character more than once, it seems, which is what acting is about, I suppose. In"Thieves"he is a tough cop who is estranged from his family, a group of dedicated organized criminals. He is the black sheep. His brother is killed in an attempted heist, and this incident is the core of the story. He has fallen in love with Juliette (Laurence Côté), whose brother is a member of the family gang, and his life is torn apart. Catherine Deneuve actually has a small part in the story, but carries it off with her usual panache. An excellent cop story, French style. Catherine Deneuve, Daniel Auteuil, and director André Téchiné collaborate for the second time (following their outstandingMy Favorite Season) in a powerful story about a Paris cop (Auteuil) who comes from a criminal family. When his father and brother are murdered, suspicion shifts to his lover (actress Laurence Côté), who then disappears. Auteuil's character reluctantly teams up with her lesbian girlfriend (Catherine Deneuve) both to find her and clear her name. The gripping story is told in a nonlinear series of overlapping chapters taking place before, during, and after the killing. Time bends and shifts, forcing the action to ripple through an ever-widening pool of neuroses and tragedy. The best part of the film, however, is the always- mesmerizing cold-fusion chemistry between Deneuve and Auteuil, two great actors who never wear their hearts on their sleeves.--Tom Keogh Rerations < Thieves - (aka "Les Voleurs") [VHS] >
