Movie Review: Son of Mine
Lei, descendant of an unemployed coal miner, is an aimless man in his
fifties, living a hand to mouth existence. When Lei’s son Jeffrey
discovers that Lei has a long-drawn debt with Vester, a charismatic
crime boss, he does what every loving son would do: He reckons his
father’s debt as his own.
Movie Review: Filosofi Kopi
The movie is a tale about soul-searching and making peace with the past
through coffee. Ben and Jody are two friends and owners of ‘Filosofi
Kopi’, a sophisticated coffee shop known for only serving the best
coffee in the country. When a businessman challenges them to make “the
perfect cup”, Ben and Jody embark on an adventure that forces them to
visit their troubled pasts and re-examine their relationships with their
parents. It is a film that not only tells a captivating story, but one
that will make us look at coffee with a whole new, passionate
perspective.
Movie Review: Not All is Vigil
Antonio and Felisa have been living together their whole life, in a
little village of the province of Teruel. Now that their health is more
fragile they are afraid of not being able to take care of each other. On
the horizon the prospect of having to go into a retirement home appears
as a threat. Not All Is Vigil portrays love in old age,
tossing-and-turning nights due to the fear of loneliness, death and
separation from the beloved. It portrays the fear of leaving one’s life
in someone else’s hands and losing independence.Movie Review: Crimean
KIRIMLI has been adapted from Cengiz Dagci’s first novel “Korkunc
Yillar” (Horrible Years), published in 1956. The author who passed away
in 2011 has his entire body of work focus on the culture of the Crimean
Tatars and the suffering of the Crimean Turks. In the years following
the Russian Revolution, Sadik Turan is born in a Crimea where people had
hops for better cultural rights and more freedom, but instead, had to
face oppression from Russia nationalist politics. During the Stalin era
where the oppression is at its peak, Sadik starts school. One morning,
he becomes horrified when Red Army soldiers barge into classrooms and
declare the mandatory use of the Cyrillic alphabet instead of the
Turkish alphabet. And then, he witnesses how they are being robbed of
their faith through the demolition of mosques.
