SHIRIN

Director :Abbas Kiarostami.
This film was an experiment. Viewers expected much about this film . The entire movie was about an Iranian woman watching the 12th centuries Persian love stories. Viewers should understand through sound and facial expression of Persian movie viewers. I think this film focused on camera techniques. Each shots are close up and pan. Iranian woman's face expressions, crying while seeing the film, rearrange their handkerchief. This was excellently presented. Theme is a woman's expressions and not mentioned any other things, that is the fault of the movie.

REVISITED

Director: Krzysztof Zanussi.
Revisited is a documentary film. This film is about film maker Krzysztof zanussi interviewed with his last film actors. I don't like this film. He enquired what happened with their life last years throughout. I didn't says nothing more about this film.

13 SQUARE METER

Director : Barthelemy Grossmann

This film is not up to the mark of viewers. This is an usual story, there is no message and unusual things. The story is basically about three youngsters and their robbery, all are have justification through the robbery, life is getting hard day by day this will leads to crime. One day they attack state owned van full of cash, and they stayed 13 square meter bunker by dreaming a better life. Finally caught by the police. this is a common movie.

THE ABSCENCE

Director :Mama Keita
The abscence is a contemporary movie of Senegal. This film gives a message to the viewers that"we should never avoid our sibilings for any reasons, we can't get them back. we had completely lost that person". These theme is depicted in adama and his sister aichas life. This film touches on the social issues of drug, prostitution, corruption, brain drain etc. Adamas abandoned his family especially his deaf and dumpb sister aicha. This will lead to aicha in the sex racket. He didn't care aicha. He is a successful scientist, he had reached home through an anonimous letter saying grandmother was ill. but he is not interested to stay in Senegal and he wants to return to France. Adama's teacher got angry because he return to France. His teacher says you are born and raised in Senegal, so that you should work for our country . This is the best eg of brain drain. This film touched me and viewers also.

24 CITY

Director :Jia Zhang-Ke

This film gave an exciting oral history of China over the last fifty years. This is a documentary film tells the story of china's economic, social and physical changes trasforming the country. Interviewers and interviewees are not a real workers, they were really a professional actors acting like a factory workers. Iam expected much about this film, but it is not up to the mark.The state owned military complex being demolished through, to construct a new luxury apartment 24 city. Factory workers shared their experience, while their parents are also factoryworkers. They can't meet their expenditure, because they get low salary, standard of living high in China. Zhao tao's intervews was touching, as she was crying during interview, she says my parents were factory workers, this gave her to face the new globalised environment. Zhao tao will buy one apartment of 24 city new luxury villa for her parents, this was her dream.I liked the quotation of this movie "people have something to do there age more slowly".Chines people recollect the communist govt- it's dawn and dusk, this documentaries include Chinas industrial and cultural revolution a, forced migration and major wars etc. Anyway this film will also be in the mind of viewers
