THE
RED BALLOON (dir: Albert Lamorisse, Not Rated) - Michelle says,
"Someone must’ve interrupted our regular classroom schedule
to show us this movie in grade school; I have positive associations
with it. If you weren’t so lucky or it’s just been a while,
watch this allegorical short for its color and its simple story of
childhood friendship and autonomy from mean boys, school masters,
and church wardens, as personified by something so round and
effervescent that we immediately covet it. Featuring his own son as
the balloon’s counterpart, director Albert Lamorisse captures
gorgeous pre-modernized Paris, filmed to emphasize its cobblestones
and narrow alleyways. The look of the film is clearly dated, but
that, along with its slight narrative and visual iconography, is
really its appeal." |

CRAZED
FRUIT (dir: Kô Nakahira, Not Rated) –
Bart says, "The title refers to the juicy Japanese youngsters
who let their emotions run wild in this outrageously over-the-top
melodrama that never made it to the States at the time due to its
highly immoral content (by 50s standards). It's the old "two
brothers in love with the same girl" story, but carried to the
extreme within its realistically portrayed context of the debauched
lives of bored, rich teenagers by the seaside sleeping around and
drinking and fighting and sailing their way into
oblivion." |
