LIAM de Stephen Fears (2000)
SINOPSE:
Em Liverpool, nos anos 30, Liam cresce no bairro católico irlandês. Tem sete anos, é o mais novo da família. Os irmãos mais velhos, Con e Teresa, já trabalham e participam nas despesas da casa. Entre uma mãe afectuosa e um pai responsável, a família está feliz apesar da falta de dinheiro, até o dia em que a crise os atinge irremediavelmente e o pai de Liam perde o emprego. Sem recursos, amargo mas determinado em encontrar uma solução, seja ela qual for, deixa-se seduzir progressivamente pelos movimentos fascistas locais. E de repente o tempo perde à sua linearidade. Ontem, hoje, amanhã, talvez "ainda"... Como os seus irmãos, Liam recebe uma educação religiosa e a relação com a religião marca o compasso da vida da comunidade a que pertence e é através desse filtro que ele se relaciona com o mundo que o rodeia, com os mistérios da vida. O filme é, então, o olhar de uma criança sobre a pobreza do seu bairro e da sua família, durante a grande depressão dos anos 1930. É uma visão rica e humana, com o humor necessário para a sobrevivência.

"A hand grenade of a film, it makes you laugh even as your blood chills", 1968's If... shot the actor, Malcolm McDowell to fame, confirmed the reputation of Lindsay Anderson as one of the most important film directors of the 20th century, and coincided with the waves of radical student riots in Europe, America and Japan in the late nineteen sixties.

High Fidelity
John Cusack stars as Rob Gordon, the owner of a semi-failing record store located on one of the back streets of Chicago. He sells music the old-fashioned way -- on vinyl, with two wacky clerks, the hysterically funny rock snob Barry (Jack Black) and the more quietly opinionated underachiever Dick (Todd Luiso). But Rob's business isn't the only thing in his life that's floundering -- his needle skips the love groove when his longtime girlfriend Laura (Iben Hjejle) walks out on him. And this forces him to examine his past failed attempts at romance the only way he knows how! For a rocking fun time, give HIGH FIDELITY a spin.
