回复 :When the film begins, it is all over. “We know it’s terminal, and that’s all”, says Juliane of her mother Kerstin, who is in great pain and about to die aged just 64. Although the young doctor she consults acknowledges on a personal level that everyone has the right to manage their own death, he nonetheless reminds her that euthanasia is still illegal in Germany. This is even more the case at the Catholic hospice where Kerstin is staying. As relatives come to say goodbye to her mother and the emotions of memories mingle with the anticipation of grief, Juliane finds herself having to do battle with time – unbending, apathetic and monochrome – and this is superbly reflected in the convulsions of the handheld camera in wide shots.Based on personal experience, Jessica Krummacher’s second feature film vividly relates the painful story of losing a parent. There is no violence or morbidity, rather the director describes the most important of events via the smallest, most fragile of details – the exchanging of words, texts and tender gestures that remain with us and get under our skin.
回复 :破敗的上流舊邸中，年華老去的變裝皇后一針一線地繡著寂寞。一個動盪的夜裡，年輕帥氣的革命份子卡洛斯走進她的世界，頹圮的人生再次有了綺念。為了維繫關係，她讓卡洛斯在家裡堆放不明紙箱、進行祕密聚會，明知這段忘年曖昧希望渺茫，但為了珍稀的愛，她無悔無憾。隨著同在暗處的兩人越走越近，一場風暴也漸漸成形，這段戀情及國家的未來，都將因此翻天覆地⋯⋯。改編自拉美同運先驅萊梅貝爾的同名小說，以復古濃郁色調描繪智利風聲鶴唳的獨裁年代。同被打壓的性少數和政治少數，在歷史的十字路口談起沒有明天的戀愛。智利影帝卡斯特羅繼《愛獄王子》後再次挑戰酷兒題材，破天荒化身變裝皇后大談老少戀。不僅藉著眼神巧妙演繹出主角的不安與盼望，更精準平衡了風塵跨性女子的浪漫與滄桑。本片入圍2020年威尼斯電影節威尼斯日單元。

回复 :This was the first of the videos that started a trend of sex education videos in the early 1990s . I guess the idea behind it was for liberated women to go into a high street store and buy it without any type of guilt or inhibition , but no doubt the main buyer market was teenage boys and dirty old menTHE LOVERS GUIDE is groundbreaking in the fact that it publicised that the couples involved were real life partners but this is slightly dishonest , yes the main couple featured Wendy and her husband were indeed a real life couple who'd been married several years but there was some public controversy that at least one of the couples Kathryn ( The gorgeous brunette ) and Marino ( The well buffed geezer with a ponytail ) had never met one another until they appeared on set where they had unprotected sex for the camera . For a video that self righteously dedicates segments to safe sex it is rather hypocriticalSeeing as it's for education purposes and not pornography as such there's limits as to what can be shown but as a sex education video it's not uninformative though I doubt if you'll be gasping " I never knew that "As a footnote the main couple featured became something of sexual problem agony aunts in the British press - Until it was revealed that Wendy's husband had a serious heart condition which put a stop to sex . I almost felt sorry for this couple who confessed that they used to make love as often as ten times a day but now couldn't make love once a day because it was too dangerous . My small amount of sympathy soon vanished when shortly afterwards the couple split up and raced off to the gutter press in order to dish the dirt on one another to the highest bidder .
