(these files are different from the first upload. to avoid corrupted volumes, I split the movie using HJsplit, so unfortunately you have to download it all over again. Sorry about that, but it was the only way to make sure that no corrupted rar archives would be uploaded).

Subject:	Distant Voices, Still Lives (1988)
Security:	Public
Tags:	arthouse, uk

Directed by: Terence Davies
U.K., 1988, 85 minutes

This is one of the best movies produced in Europe in the last 20 years, yet its fame is somewhat minimal. It's a series of vignettes depicting the life of a 40's British family before and after the demise of the despotic father. The camera movement suggests all kinds of feeling derived from the characters, while the exquisite photography will leave you speechless. It's very sad and melancholic yet its warmth won't leave you untouched.

Subject:	Je, Tu, Il, Elle (1974)
Security:	Public
Tags:	akerman, avant-garde, belgium, foreign, french

Directed by: Chantal Akerman
France/Belgium, 1974, 90 minutes

Je stands for protagonist 24 year old Akerman
Tu stands for us, the audience, experiencing her life
Il stands for a truck driver from whom Akerman hitches a ride and
Elle stands for Akerman estranged female lover.

This avant-garde film from Belgian director Chantal Akerman has its merits but to my opinion is outdated today. It's still an enjoyable watch, but many of you could find it extremely pretentious. Nevertheless it's a historic movie. And for that matter, Jim Jarmusch couldn't be what he is today, without having watched Akerman's films.

Subject:	Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould (1993)
Security:	Public
Tags:	canada, documentary, music

Directed by: François Girard
Portugal/Canada/Finland/Netherlands, 1993, 98 minutes

This is a very unique fictionalized documentary. There are 32 vignettes, each one of them portraying a segment of famous pianist's Glenn Gould's life. Not necessarily in the right order, these 32 "short films" are inspired by the life of the protagonist and his unique lifestyle which was filled with hypochondriac behaviour and a shocking resolution to quit playing live gigs just at the peak of his career. The structure of the film is based on Bach's Goldberg Variations, the piece which Glenn Gould was most famous for playing. Great shots, fantastic camera movement, magnificent acting by Colm Feore as Glenn Gould. If you've never heard of this pianist, this film will open your eyes.

English and French Language. No Subtitles.
