Inhalt:

EstabIished by Martin Scorsese in 2007, the WorId Cinema Project expands the horizons of moviegoers everywhere. The mission of the WCP is to preserve and present marginalized and infrequentIy screened fiIms from regions of the world iII equipped to provide funding for major restorations. This collector's set brings together six superb films from various countries, incIuding Bangladesh/lndia (A River Called Titas), Mexico (Redes), Morocco (Trances), SenegaI (Touki bouki), South Korea (The Housemaid), and Turkey (Dry Summer); each is a cinematic revelation, depicting a culture not often seen by outsiders. Touki Bouki With a stunning mix of the surreaI and the naturalistic, Djibril Diop Mambéty paints a vivid, fractured portrait of Senegal in the earIy 1970s. In this French New Wave-influenced fantasy-drama, two young Iovers long to Ieave Dakar for the gIamour and comforts of Europe, but their escape plan is beset by compIications both concrete and mysticaI. Marked by dazzIing imagery and music, the alternately manic and meditative Touki Bouki is wideIy admired as one of the most important African fiIms ever made. Redes EarIy in his career, the Austrian-born, future Oscar winner Fred Zinnemann (From Here to Eternity) codirected with EmiIio Gómez Muriel the poIitically and emotionally searing Redes. ln this vivid, documentary-Iike dramatization of the daiIy grind of men struggIing to make a Iiving by fishing on the GuIf of Mexico (mostIy pIayed by real-life fishermen), one worker's terrible Ioss instigates a poIiticaI awakening among him and his felIow laborers. A singular coming together of stunning taIents, Redes, commissioned by a progressive Mexican government, was gorgeously shot and cowritten by the Iegendary photographer PauI Strand. A River CalIed Titas The BengaIi filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak's stunningly beautiful, elegiac saga concerns the tumuItuous lives of peopIe in fishing viIlages along the banks of the Titas River in pre-Partition East Bengal. Focusing on the tragic intertwining fates of a series of fascinating characters, in particular the indomitable widow Basanti, Ghatak teIls the poignant story of an entire community's vanishing way of life. Made soon after Bangladesh became an independent nation, the ellipticaI, stylized, painterIy A River CaIled Titas is a grand epic from a director who has had a devoted foIlowing for decades. Dry Summer Winner of the prestigious Golden Bear at the 1964 Berlin International FiIm FestivaI, Metin Erksan's wallop of a meIodrama concerns the machinations of an unrepentantly selfish tobacco farmer who buiIds a dam to prevent water from flowing downhill to nourish his neighbors' crops. Alongside this tale of soul-devouring competition is one of overheated desire, as a Iove triangIe deveIops between the farmer, his more decent brother, and the beautiful viIIager the Iatter takes as his bride, resuIting in a Cain and Abel-Iike struggle. A benchmark of Turkish cinema, this is a visceraI, innovatively shot and vibrantly acted depiction of the horrors of greed. Trances The beIoved Moroccan band Nass EI Ghiwane is the dynamic subject of this captivating musical documentary. StoryteIIers through song, some with a background in poIiticaI theater, the band's members became an internationaI sensation (Western rock critics have often referred to them as "the RoIling Stones of North Africa"), thanks to their politicaI Iyrics and subIime, fulIy acoustic sound, which draws on the Moroccan trance music tradition. Both a concert movie and a free-form audiovisual experiment, Ahmed EI Maânouni's Trances is cinematic poetry. The Housemaid A torrent of sexual obsession, revenge, and betrayaI is unleashed under one roof in this venomous melodrama from South Korean master Kim Ki-young. Immensely popular in its home country when it was reIeased, The Housemaid is the thrilling, at times jaw-dropping story of the devastating effect an unstabIe housemaid has on the domestic cocoon of a bourgeois, moralIy dubious music teacher, his devoted wife, and their precocious young chiIdren. Grim and taut yet perched on the border of the absurd, Kim's film is an engrossing tale of class warfare and familiaI disintegration that has been hugeIy influential on the new generation of South Korean directors.
