Das Wilde Leben (Eight Miles High!)
Unrated
It was really interesting to watch the unspeakable Uschi?s Obermaier life. (played mostly without clothing by Natalia Avelon, an actress who is lovely and pouty but otherwise not particularity good).
After running away from her native Bavarian small town at sixteen, she has got introduced to sexual freedom at the legendary Kommune 1 in Berlin through a Krautrockband named Amon Düül. In the Kommune she becomes friendly with Rainer Langhans. The young woman from Munich quickly transforms into a model, and from there rises to be a sex symbol and a youth icon: a cover girl of Playboy magazine, rockstars like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are at her feet, and even the Italian film producer Carlo Ponti tries to get her to sign a ten-year contract with her but she declines. Her freedom is more important than a contract.
During her intensive relationship with Keith Richards, she suddenly starts to recognize the dark side of the shiny glamour world she lives in. The isolation of the stars, and the groupie-existence in anonymous hotel rooms ? they don't get along well with her idea of life. She finds new freedom in a relationship with the adventurer Dieter Bockhorn (David Scheller). They fall in love and start a six-year road trip round the world......
Achim Bornhak recreates her travels from Munich and Berlin on to London, New York and Rome and thence, partnered with the brash adventurer Dieter into the hippie wonderlands of Pakistan, India and Mexico. Like most all nostalgia trips, ?Eight Miles High? has the irksome effect of reminding the audience (especially to young one) that it missed out on the grooviest moment in people history.
I had imagined about this period of time many times and it was very exciting for me watch a movie for a generation that try to free themselves restrictions, choose their own way, and find new meaning in life.
Through a great music the movie gives a little smell of 60?s and opens a window to revolutionary youth whose had believed that it should be possible to change the world. I know that the critics are not very ?kind? with this film but it is an entertainment movie much better than many American?s blockbusters.
In this movie there is the song "SUMMER WINE " Ville Valo & Natalia Avelon which is arrengement form original 1967 with the Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood...

Donnie Darko

"Donnie Darko is a 2001 psychological thriller film written and directed by Richard Kelly, and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone, and Mary McDonnell. The film depicts the reality-bending venture of the eponymous character as he seeks the meaning and significance of his troubling end-of-the-world visions" Something strainge happen to me with this film and I will tell about. I didn't saw this film even thought I realy want to. I was waiting for my perfect mood for this because of his theme. Before couple of days I heard the song of the soundrack and stuck with it "Mad Word" and I adore the film before I saw it. So start watch the film realy biased... Donnie a boy from 80's thinks that he knows the time is going to die. Very dark and very interesting film about some serious metafysical questions from young people, but also a social satire, a science fiction time-traveling fantasy, and a suburban nightmare about an extremely intelligent, depressive, self-destructive. I found this film weird and realy strainge but with the good way of words.
Le Pacte des loups (Brotherhood of the Wolf)
R
Brotherhood of the Wolf ( Le Pacte des loups literally "The Pact of the Wolves"), is a 2001 French movie directed by Christophe Gans, starring Samuel Le Bihan, Vincent Cassel, Monica Bellucci, Émilie Dequenne and Mark Dacascos, and written by Gans and Stéphane Cabel. The actors all fit their parts beautifully, with the graceful Dacascos and luminous Bellucci having the most impact. Mani?s first foray into a rain soaked battle is a stunner. While supremely handsome, he?s also a fine actor with a piercing stare that shudder?s the soul. Bellucci is very much an actress cut from the same cloth, she?s also perfectionistically beautiful. The movie has something in it to appeal to just about everyone - religious politics, incestuous longing, a little gratuitous sex and nudity, savage fight scenes, a dollop of romance, and an impressive looking monster that is both more and less than it seems to be. In short, Brotherhood of the Wolf is daring in its approach and successful in its result - assuming the result is to provide pure entertainment to the viewer. I had more fun watching this film than I?ve had at the movies in a very long time Won: 2002 César Awards: Best Costume Design (Dominique Borg) Sitges Film Festival: Grand Prize of European Fantasy Film in Silver (Christophe Gans) Cabourg Romantic Film Festival: Best New Actress (Émilie Dequenne) 2003 Home Entertainment Awards (helded by Video Software Dealers Association): Foreign Language Title of the Year (Universal Studios Home Entertainment)
