MOVIES 2017
January
"Hard to be a God" is one of the most exhausting films I've ever struggled through. I think it took us three nights to wade through the whole thing.
M01. Passengers, 2016.
M02. Dead Man, 1995.
M03. La La Land, 2016.
M04. The Lunchbox, 2013.

M07. 功夫瑜伽 (“Kung Fu Yoga”), 2017.
M08. Down Under, 2015.
February
After "Hard to be a God", watching "Stalker" in a too-cold cinema was a piece of cake.
M09. Manhattan, 1979.
M10. Сталкер (“Stalker”), 1979. (On-screen English title: “The Stalker”)
M11. Moon, 2009.

M13. Sightseers, 2012.
M14. Weiner, 2016.
M15. The Eagle Huntress, 2016.
M16. News Hounds, 1990.
March/April
"Kevin of the North" was the bizarre outcome of a few bad ideas. It's a Bob Spiers film with Rik Mayall in a central role, but from the finished product you can tell that so much has been chopped out and spruced up that it must have originally been significantly darker, with later reshoots lightening the tone. I've included "O.J.: Made in America" as a film because I actually did see it at the cinema, all nine or so hours. I think it is more commonly seen as a five-part TV series. As one of the few people in the country who saw "Jasper Jones" in the cinema, an Australian children's film lumbered with an M rating, I suspect it will be one of the last Australian children's films to ever make it to a cinema release. There are also a number of great films from the mini festival of Kelly Reichardt held at ACMI in April.

"Paths of the Soul" is an interesting film - a Chinese film about Tibet, which features on the poster the title in Chinese written in a fake Tibetan-style font. The story is fiction but based on real events (a genuine religious pilgrimage) but presented as a real documentary of those events.
