FILM: THE FIVE BEST REVIVALS
The Independent - United Kingdom; Jul 16, 2005
I Died in Childhood (Wed 7.30pm Ciný Lumiýre)
Georgy Parajanov introduces his own documentary about his uncle,
Sergei Parajanov, the visionary, poetic Armenian director called
'a master' by Godard and imprisoned by the KGB for many years. Part
of a must-see Parajanov season.
Untold Scandal & Memories of Murder (Sun 12.30pm & 2.30pm Richmond
Filmhouse)
To my mind, two of the best Korean films of recent years. First
in this double-bill is the sumptuous period drama transposing Les
Liaisons Dangereuses to imperial Korea; second, the outstanding police
procedural thriller set in the 1980s.
R-Point (tonight 11.30pm Arts Picturehouse, Cambridge)
The only mainstream film that really stood out at last year's Pusan
International Film Festival was this chilling Vietnam War ghost
story about a contingent of Korean allied troops holed up in a
haunted barracks.
In the Mood for Love (Thur 6.10pm NFT3)
Perhaps Wong Kar-Wai's masterpiece, this sumptuous, sexy melodrama
concerns adultery and passion in 1960s Hong Kong. Part of a season
on the cinematographer Chris Doyle.
Elephant & Elephant (tonight 7pm & 7.40pm Riverside)
The 39-minute Alan Clarke original, about a sequence of shootings
in Belfast . Plus, the gripping, horrifying Gus Van Sant movie that
borrowed its name and its subject matter. It explores a high-school
massacre in the US.
