Le Rayon vert

It is the ultimate feel-good education documentary that set the standard for many films that followed in this genre. The 2002 French success film Être & Avoir in which director Nicolas Philibert spent 10 weeks following charismatic master Georges Lopez and his motley collection of pupils - from pre-schoolers to the final year of primary school - all in one class. From learning to read to maths, with calmness and patience, Lopez gives his pupils confidence and prepares them for life outside the school walls. Nicolas Philibert's award-winning education documentary Être & Avoir evoked a nostalgic longing from a large audience for the simplicity of life as it still existed in the French countryside.

A sensitive and amusing portrait of an extraordinary teacher in a school for all the village's children. One of the public triumphs of the French documentary.

This magnificent masterpiece by the mature Kurosawa is a profound investigation of the folly of war. The film won an Oscar and two BAFTA awards. Shakespeare’s King Lear reinterpreted and filmed as a historical epic in sixteenth-century Japan.

Kurosawa extensively researched the folly of war and the decaying of the family, torn apart by betrayal, greed, and insatiable lust for power. Anno 1985, RAN was the most expensive Japanese film ever made. Its powerful imagery, the intense use of color and the Mahler-inspired soundtrack were further enhanced by the Academy Award-winning costume design.

“All technological progress of recent years has only taught people how to kill each other faster and on a bigger scale. Under such circumstances, I find it very difficult to keep an optimistic view on life.” (Akira Kurosawa)

Norwegian sisters Kari and May are devout in their religious convictions — to the degree that they perceive divine signs all around them. When May visits Kari in Sweden and decides to buy an apartment in the area to be closer to her, both sisters end up experiencing a divine sign at one particular apartment that prompts them to buy it. However, once they convene to buy it, they witness a shocking revelation that turns their lives upside down: the seller looks identical to their older sister Astrid, who committed suicide some thirty years before. What’s even more unusual: Olaug, the seller of the apartment, used to go by “Lita,” the same distinctive nickname as Kari and May’s deceased sister. The sisters recruit director Maria Fredriksson to pursue these unusual circumstances, and the filmmaker is thrust into uncovering secrets and eerie mysteries of a bizarre family story. Fredriksson’s The Gullspång Miracle is a mesmerizing and consistently surprising documentary that epitomizes the ‘stranger than fiction’ narrative. Replete with comically awkward situations and one engrossing revelation after another, the film is a deft exploration of identity and the consequences of stubborn beliefs.

A documentary full of surprises, eccentric characters and incredible events.
