1.White Balloon [1995] starring: Aida Mohammadkhani, Mohsen Kafili, Fereshteh Sadre Orafaiy, Anna Borkowska, Mohammad Shahani directed by: Jafar Panahi June 10, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details
Set in Tehran this simple and enchanting film is testament to the power of cinema. There is no need for special effects, fancy editing, big stars or even complicated storylines. This movie completely engrosses you as it transports you to a child's perspective and you become as heart set on buying that goldfish as the little girl in the film is. It will take you back to when you were a child and really little things meant a great deal. Not to mention the frustration children feel when adults are too busy to listen to them or care about their troubles. The non professional cast are utterly believable to the point where it feels like a documentary, coupled with the fact it is shot in real time. Fans of neo-realist Italian ... Read More:

2.Lagaan [2001] starring: Aamir Khan, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Rachel Shelley directed by: Ashotosh Gowariker August 04, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.99
Lagaan stands for Land Tax - the film revolves around the dilemma of keeping principles. It is set in the Victorian period of the British Raj. The sory tells of peasants from a barren village who are oppressed by high British taxes. When the peasants try to persuade the officers for reducing the taxes, a proposition to cancel the taxes for three years is put forward: the village team must beat the officers at cricket. The villagers face the arduous task of learning the game, and to play for a result that will change destiny. Director Ashutosh Gowariker achieved a masterpiece of grand entertainment which has deservedly garnered its many nominations and prizes. The film review from The Guardian said that "Lagaan is ...

3.Dance Of The Wind [1998] starring: Kapila Vatsyayan, Bhaveen Gosain, Ami Arora, B.C. Sanyal, Punarnava Mehta directed by: Rajan Khosa February 22, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £17.99
I recommend this film to all fans of cinema - art or commercial, for it has all the elements that make for a wonderful piece of cinema. A strong story well written and beautifully acted is wrapped in the most melodius music and stunning camerawork. Each of these strands fit together perfectly, serving each other to create what feels like a visual poem. Dance of the Wind tells the tale of Pallavi, a classical North Indian singer who loses her voice when her mother, who is also her teacher, dies. The journey of self-discovery on which Pallavi must embark to find her own voice is never sentimentalised, and her sense of trauma is subtle, but very real. Set in in contemporary New Delhi, the film present's a rarely-seen glimpse into the live's of the young, urban, middle ... Read More:

4.Strike [1924] starring: Maksim Shtraukh, Mikhail Gomorov, Grigori Aleksandrov, Anatoli Kuznetsov, I. Ivanov directed by: Sergei M. Eisenstein June 03, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.94
Strike is a film from highly-influential director Sergei Eisenstein, who was part of the early Soviet Cinema movement. Starring the Proletkult Workers theatre it's about a worker who is wrongfully accused of stealing a micrometer and therefore commits suicide out of humiliation. The workers organise a strike and a committee is set up to organise the strike, which sadly leads to deadly consequences. The story is set in 1912 under the Czarist dictatorship. One of Eisensteins ideas he put to film was to abolish art because of it's uselessness and based his other ideas for film towards socialist ideas which he succeeded. The film soundtrack makes the film all the more powerful combining class struggle with a classical score and the final ... Read More:

5.October - Ten Days That Shook The World [1927] starring: Vladimir Popov (II), Vasili Nikandrov, Layaschenko, Mikholyev, Smelsky directed by: Grigori Aleksandrov, Sergei M. Eisenstein July 28, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.98
Do my eyes deceive me or did reviewers expect to watch this and not see pro-revolutionary content? This film is unique and stands alone in the history of film-making as the closest thing to a record of one of the most defining moments in the history of mankind. Not only is it groundbreaking in its mechanics and methodology, but it broke all the moulds in cinematic history and formed the template for the next 20, 30 years of moviemaking. Even watching as a non-committed political animal, you have to agree that the drama and tension transmitted in this document is unsurpassed; the transfer of the considerable lands, wealth and assets of Russia from a handful of privileged aristocrats to the people is a story which even the most seasoned narrator ...

6.King Lear [1971] [1969] starring: Yuri Yarvet, Elsa Radzin, Galina Volchek, Valentina Shendrikova, Oleg Dal directed by: Grigori Kozintsev March 24, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.99
When I obtained this version of King Lear, my expectations were very low. First of all, Shakespeare is an absolutely horrible playwright, completely missing the mark on his analysis of humanity. Second of all, the "art" of the motion picture is a bastard art, with no substance or sense of reality. This production defied those expectations. I dumbfounded at the legitimacy of its depiction of a relationship in the post-spatulaic era. And the Orwellian/Spielbergian/Smithsonian/Tomcruisian/Startrekkian references wowed me. Who knew such base people could be concious of such a frigate of thinking. The camera work brattified me. I was so sprasked by how it portrayed a world of Art nouveau hopelessness. What craftiessianess!! My heart palpitated!! Read More:

7.Alexander Nevsky [1938] starring: Nikolai Cherkasov, Nikolai Okhlopkov, Andrei Abrikosov, Dmitri Orlov (III), Vasili Novikov directed by: Sergei M. Eisenstein, Dmitri Vasilyev April 17, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.99
Eisenstein's first sound film retells the battle of the ice of 1242, when the Russians under Alexander Nevsky defeated the Livonian knights, eager to bring Russia under Roman Catholicism. Made in 1938, Nevsky can be seen as a piece of propaganda: the Germanic knights, with their sinister (and somewhat goofy) helmets are obvious stand-ins for the Nazis. The butchery by the knights when they enter a Russian town seems a prophetic warning of the massacres of World War II. The film ends with a warning: those who came to Russia with the sword will die by the sword. Made in delicate black and white (somewhat reminiscent of a daguerreotype), it also marked Eisenstein's return to official favor. By the late 1920s, Stalin wanted Soviet filmmakers to stop experimentation and made movies ... Read More:

8.Underground [1996] starring: Lazar Ristovski, Mirjana Jokovic, Miki Manojlovic directed by: Emir Kusturica October 28, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.99
Everything in this film is simply perfect, the actors, the music, the story, everything is balanced and in the right place. It deals with the tragedy of Jugolavia and the characters have something which is peculiar to the south slavs (the passionate and yet tough Black, the greedy and liar politician and yet a good poet Marko) but while the story unfolds we understand that it has something to do with the history of every country and its men. Underground is like a Greek Tragedy where morality, history and the responsability of men are debated between the main characters and a choir. This film is absoloutley fantastic: don't miss it.
