Movies to watch: The CAMPAIGN
The Iran Job
follows Kevin Sheppard, an American basketball player from St. Croix who is recruited to play for the Iranian Super League. Judging from the trailer, the film’s a winner. Till describes Kevin as smart, warm and funny. You can see from his interactions in the film that Kevin’s got a quick humor and is a sharp observer. He becomes friends with three Iranian women and this unlikely friendship coincides with the Green Movement in Iran.
You Can help the Film to get released in 2012 by funding it via Kickstarter
Trailer Chicken With Plums
Based on a graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi.
The year is 1958, the city Tehran. Celebrated violinist Nasser Ali Khan (Mathieu Amalric) has an unexpected encounter with a longlost love, but she fails to recognize him. He returns home, has an argument with his wife and, most troublingly, discovers that his prized violin has been broken. He’s unable to replace it, can’t conceive of life without the consolation of music, and soon finds that he can’t get out of bed, where he lies locked both in dreams about his childhood and projections of his own children’s futures. His reveries lay somewhere between fantasy and oblivion, and quickly assemble into a kind of thriller, riddled with flashbacks and flash-forwards (as well as a vision of a naked Sophia Loren), that illuminates his peculiar persona and the source of his despair.
The Ayahuasca Project
tells the story of three doctors using a mysterious Amazonian medicine rumored to reveal one’s deepest self. The first doctor was born into ayahuasca, trained as Siona shaman since early childhood. The second doctor runs a legendary detox centre deep in the Peruvian jungle, in partnership with indigenous healers. The third doctor will risk his career trying to establish a similar program in Canada….

WIN/WIN
I watched a couple of films during this year’s International Filmfestival Mannnheim-Heidelberg. I was really amazed with the Dutch comedy-tragedy WIN/WIN, which deals of the rise and fall of the broker star Ivan. As he’s gradually becoming estranged from himself, he still seems unable to lose.
