The Whales of August (Lindsay Anderson, 1987)

It's August. Like they have most summers, elderly widowed sisters Libby Strong and Sarah Webber, who live in Philadelphia, are staying together in the family's summer cottage on an island off the coast of Maine. The cottage, which now belongs to Sarah, has been in their family most of their lives, was the family's summer getaway from Philadelphia when they were younger. There are a few people who have been friends or acquaintances on the island, including the outspoken Tisha Dought, and Joshua Brackett. Someone new at least to Sarah's social circle is Mr. Maranov, a former Russian aristocrat. His stay on the island is threatened when his landlady, Hilda Partridge, passes away. Sarah and Libby have come to the realization they are in the respective twilight of their lives,

The Lives of Others - Das Leben der Anderen - (2006)

Gerd Wiesler is an officer with the Stasi, the East German secret police. The film begins in 1984 when Wiesler attends a play written by Georg Dreyman, who is considered by many to be the ultimate example of the loyal citizen. Wiesler has a gut feeling that Dreyman can't be as ideal as he seems, and believes surveillance is called for. The Minister of Culture agrees but only later does Wiesler learn that the Minister sees Dreyman as a rival and lusts after his partner Christa-Maria. The more time he spends listening in on them, the more he comes to care about them. The once rigid Stasi officer begins to intervene in their lives, in a positive way, protecting them whenever possible. Eventually, Wiesler's activities catch up to him and while there is no proof of wrongdoing, he finds himself in menial jobs - until the unbelievable happens.

November - Rehepapp - (2017)

November is based on Estonian novel "Rehepapp" by Andrus Kivirähk, a bestseller of the last twenty years. The film is a mixture of magic, black humor and romantic love. The story is set in a pagan Estonian village where werewolves, the plague, and spirits roam. The villagers' main problem is how to survive the cold, dark winter. And, to that aim, nothing is taboo. People steal from each other, from their German manor lords, and from spirits, the devil, and Christ. To guard their souls, they'll give them away to thieving creatures made of wood and metal called kratts, who help their masters by stealing more. They steal even if their barns are already overflowing. Stealing is an obsession that makes the villagers more and more like the soulless creatures they command, the kratts. The main character of the film is a young farm girl named Liina who is hopelessly and forlornly in love with a village boy named Hans.

Estonia's submission to the Foreign Language Film Award of the 90th Annual Academy Awards.

Despite Estonia being ruled by Germanic nobles, Estonia was part of the Russian empire at the time (as Germanic nobles still controlled much of Estonia under Russian control). This puts the date somewhere between 1720-1900. Neither Russia nor Germany clamped down on pagan beliefs until well into the late 19th century, making Estonia one of the last pagan states in Europe. Due to the Soviet's policy of forced atheism in the early 1900s, Estonia remained secular for many years, leaving it as one of the least religious countries in the world as of the 21st century.

Halima's Path - Halimin put - (2012)

After the end of the war in Bosnia, Halima, a good-natured peasant woman from a remote Muslim village in Western Bosnia, searches for the remains of her husband and her teenage son, who were taken by Serbian paramilitary forces and executed. Using DNA analysis, the UN Committee for Missing Persons manages to identify the remains of her husband in one of the mass graves, but the Committee still can't identify the remains of her son, since Halima refuses to give a blood sample for DNA testing. There is something that the Committee doesn't know, something that Halima is hiding from others: her beloved son wasn't actually her biological son. The story takes us back two decades ago, during the period of Yugoslavia, where we learn how Halima and her husband became adoptive parents, after fruitless efforts to have a child on their own. Along with that story, we follow Halima's path nowadays while she is searching for the biological mother of her son, the only person who can give a blood sample, to help identify the remains of her adopted son.

Para o público brasileiro:

Um dos maiores cantores brasileiros de todos os tempos e o primeiro artista cancelado (como é moda atualmente nas redes sociais) pela mídia.

Há um bom documentário sobre ele no YouTube neste link: https://youtu.be/ItVY5xs3_VM Talvez explique melhor que o filme.

Todo estava uma maravilha para Simonal, famoso, fazendo mais de 200 shows por ano (naquele tempo shows não davam tanto dinheiro), até que em 1971 ocorreu uma hecatombe na vida do Simonal, que depois disso, nunca mais se recuperou até sua morte cerca de 29 anos depois.

Seu contador disse a ele que Simonal Produções estava falida, quebrada. Simonal faturava muito, mas também gastava exageradamente. Até hoje, não consigo entender por que Simonal não pediu para seu contador mostrar detalhadamente o os motivos pelos quais ele estaria quebrado. E por que seu contador não fez questão de insistir em explicar a Simonal o motivo pelo qual ele dizia que o cantor estava quebrado?

Simonal não entendeu e achou que seu contador estava lhe passando a perna. Ele tinha alguns policiais amigos, que eram do DOPS, o Departamento de Ordem e Política Social, criado pelo Estado Novo na década de 20 e depois utilizado pela Ditadura Militar pós 64, para ser um órgão de vigilância contra subversivos ao regime. O que era para ser um leve pressão sobre o contador para ele confessar, acabou indo para tortura.

Depois disso, como pode ser visto no vídeo, tudo degringolou e Simonal acabou ficando com pecha de delator, de alcagueta.

Na minha opinião, a mídia acabou crucificando Simonal, embora ele tenha cometido um grande erro. O cantor, ao final da vida, confessou que errou, mas jamais delatou alguém. Eu também acho que ele não delatou ninguém. Tudo foi uma história mal contada e mal compreendida. O Simonal queria fazer seus shows, ganhar muito dinheiro e gastar muito dinheiro. É isso que ele queria. Com todos os seus shows, ele não teria tempo para ficar delatando alguém. Todos os artistas se queixavam da ditadura, mas não tinham vocação para promover atos subversivos.

The film follows the most tumultuous four years in the life of Manto and that of the two countries he inhabits - India and Pakistan. In Bombay's seedy-shiny film world, Manto and his stories are widely read and accepted. But as sectarian violence engulfs the nation, Manto makes the difficult choice of leaving his beloved Bombay. In Lahore, he finds himself bereft of friends and unable to find takers for his writings. His increasing alcoholism leads him into a downward spiral. Through all of this, he continues to write prolifically, without dilution. This is the tale of two emerging nations, two faltering cities, and one man who tries to make sense of it all.

The Red Tent (1969)

The commander of a failed 1928 Arctic airship expedition is remembering the events of the "Italia" airship flight, crash, and subsequent rescue efforts. The "ghosts" of people involved in the events appear in his memories to assist him in determining his guilt in the affair. The reminiscences are mixed with the real action: the flight of the "Italia", the air rescue operation from Kings Bay airfield, the expedition of the "Krassin" ice-breaker. A sort of human touch is added by the ever beautiful C.C. playing Malmgren's girlfriend.

For those interested in more details about the adventure, I suggest this book: The Polar adventure : the "Italia" tragedy seen at close quarters, by Odd Arnesen.

https://archive.org/details/polaradventureit00arne/page/n7/mode/2up


For Brazilian audience: 

Este filme já existe na plataforma YouTube. Há uma ou algumas sem legendas e uma dublada (Herbert Richers), mas o áudio da dublagem está muito baixo e temos que aumentar muito o nível do som para ouvir razoavelmente e em algumas partes do filme a dublagem desaparece.

Assim, essa versão do meu blog é uma versão legendada, com legendas em Inglês e Português. O protagonista, Peter Finch, está muito bem no papel de Umberto Nobile, mas acho que o ator Maximilian Schell poderia ter sido melhor para o papel , por ele ter o rosto quase idêntico ao de Nobile. Tanto Peter Finch como Hardy Kruger, que faz o piloto que salva Nobile, já haviam feito um filme um tanto parecido, O Vôo do Fênix, 4 anos antes.

Gifted director Francesco Rosi masterfully helms this elegant, compelling and wonderfully stylish paranoid thriller that concerns the valiant investigations of Inspector Rogas(Lino Ventura) as he unearths some dark, unsettling truths in this particularly confounding case. Various high profile judges are being assassinated by a mysterious sniper, are these the crazed retributions of a lone, vengeance-seeking individual with a murderous grudge against these ageing magistrates, or, is this a vile political conspiracy of far-reaching consequence?

Fernando Di Leo was a well-respected director who near-perfected the poliziotteschi genre during the 1970's, taking a genre spear-headed by the likes of Italian film-makers Umberto Lenzi and Carlo


Lizzani and delivering tough-as-nails stories about brutish men in a brutish world. Milano Calibro 9, or simply Caliber 9, is one of Di Leo's most highly-regarded works, kicking off his Milieu trilogy (followed by Manhunt and concluded by The Boss) for which he is now best remembered for. And the film is terrific - inspiring future directors such as John Woo and Quentin Tarantino, Milano Calibro 9 begins with an explosion of violence that serves as a warning of what is to come.
