FILM LIST
Buddy:
- California Typewriter, Doug Nichol, 2016 (USA) - Documentary about mechanical/analog typewriter technology – the history and culture
- Aliens of the Deep, Jérôme Julienne & John Jackson, 2010 - Oceanic nature documentary about the mysterious octopi/cephalopod
Leanne:
- 13 Assassins, (2010) dir. by Takashi Miike – High-gore remake of Eiichi Kudo's 1963 tale of a band of assassins leading a siege against a sadistic feudal warlord. Imaginative violence explodes across the screen balanced against a tangled web of alliances gone wrong in this startling film.
- Hana-Bi, 1997, Takeshi Kitano (USA) Hana-bi displays the disjointed story of a police detective's depression spiral. Takeshi stars as the dejected detective who rarely speaks and is prone to fits of shocking violence. His public persona is juxtaposed to his private life with his quiet wife. Few brutal films are so sweetly tender at their core.
