Poster for Pékin Central

1986 · ★ 1.0 (2)

The unique distinction of this standard comedy drama is that it is the first foreign, feature-length movie filmed in mainland China. Novice director Camille de Casabianca obtained permission from the authorities and set up her story around Valerie (Christine Citti), a woman who follows Yves (Yves Renier), the man she loves, to China. Yves is a journalist assigned to report on Western tourists behind the Bamboo Curtain, and it is an unintentionally comical group of tourists at that.

Olga Kosanović reveals the unfair absurdity of Austria’s right to residence. The single father Vladimir wants to work to be able to stay in the country with his daughter. But if he doesn’t have a residency permit, he’s not allowed to work. From this paradox, the film filters a humanistic indictment of cynical domestic policies in the land of insurmountable peaks.

Poster for Two Cops

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Two Cops takes place in a park on the Hollywood hills, between Beverly Hills, Hollywood and Studio City, a common hiking destination for actors to walk around and practice for various film roles. The film follows two extras who are preparing to play the role of policemen. Steve and Eric Cohen, the identical twins who play the two police officers, are both professional extras. Dressed in their police uniforms, the men aimlessly walk around the park and talk about how they should act as policemen, how they’re supposed to move, talk and look. Referencing Hollywood films, the characters are copies of a copy, a type of mise-en-abyme.

"As for the look, I was inspired by certain European b-movies from the 1970s and their soft and hazy yet at the same time creepy (and oftentimes deadly) sensuality, such as the Czech New Wave film VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS, the German arthouse vampire film JONATHAN and of course Jean Rollin’s many tales of vampire girls!" - Gloria de Oliveira.
