Movie [Naka Bahru Club]
The Singaporean film [Naka Balu Club], which incorporates the extremely local emotions and expressions of director Tan Mei Tim, tries to create the protagonist of the happiest community in the world, but little by little steps into the absurdity of life, which projects beauty or dirtiness? I am afraid that audiences in different situations will also give different answers after watching it.
Movie [Listen]
Life either treats you well or ravages you, but it won't let you go easily, and a Portuguese family on the outskirts of London has already tasted the pain of migration, deaf and mute daughters, livelihood problems... In the face of the law, this small family still does not give up the desperate struggle.
The British and Portuguese co-production [Listen], which was shortlisted for best film in the Horizon section of the 77th Venice Film Festival, and finally won the Horizon Section Jury Special Award.
Movie [Dawn]
Also full of absurd irony is the Israeli-French co-production of the film [Dawn].
One day, the small Arabian village where Sami and her family live is suddenly surrounded by an ominous wall, and a bitter comedy of inner and outer trapping begins to play out. There are walls outside the village, and there are also walls in people's hearts, how can they disintegrate?
The film will represent Israel in the 94th Academy Award for Best International Film in 2022, and on the screen of the Golden Rooster Film Festival, audiences will have the opportunity to get a sneak peek.
Film [Past future tense]
Moving from the surreal memories of World War II to modern Berlin, three generations of a family are in a society that still has to deal with historical trauma and struggles with their past experiences.
Memory and identity flow in this German-Hungarian co-production [past and future tense], and the characters float with it and are drowned, and director Keenel Mudluzzo has once again come up with an impressive big-screen work after "Fragments of a Woman".
Movie [Son of the Monarch Butterfly]
Also struggling to let go of complex memories is a Mexican biologist living in New York.
In the Mexican-American co-production [Sons of the Monarch Butterfly], a trip to the Monarch Butterfly Forest in Michoacan allows him to snuggle up to the memory of his deceased grandmother, and the trauma of the past and the reflection on his multiple identities inspire him to complete his spiritual transformation.
Movie [My Heart Pounds!] ]
The monarch butterfly of South America waved its wings and wondered whether it would trigger a hurricane or tsunami in the Eastern Hemisphere, but in the 1970s, the dream of a young Spanish dancer could continue to work to this day.
Spanish-Italian co-production [I'm in a heartbeat!] ], focusing on Maria, a dancer who strives to bring color to the world and explore freedom, a lively cabaret show is staged.
Movie [Alternative]
Also unwilling to give up is a young Madrid policeman in 1982 who grew up in the most difficult neighborhood to survive in, and while hoping for his daughter's illness, he longs to find peace of mind.
Then a strange murder led him to an unimaginable danger—his world was about to be subverted by a paradisiacal community of Nazi criminals.
The Spanish-Belgian co-production [Alternative] will write the answer to this mysterious crime story.
Movie [Remo Memories]
However, the world is not without beauty. The Slovenian-Italian co-production [Remo Memories] tells a love story in which scattered memories are brought back to mind by a song, and everything bland takes on meaning.
The film is full of emotional imagery, under the beautiful appearance, conveying a deep sense of life and making people think deeply.
Film [Bond]
Life has many meanings to ponder, but for Amina, the trickiest thing right now is the unexpected pregnancy of her 15-year-old daughter Maria.
In this suburb of N'Djamena, Chad, abortion is subject to both religious and legal condemnation. Is it to be prepared in advance to lose everything? Or bravery to go to war with tradition?
A co-production of Chadian, French, German and Belgian films [Bonds] will take the audience through this dramatic conflict.
Movie [Olive Tree Covenant]
Some want to oppose irrational feudal dogmas, while others go all out to protect the old trees that have taken root for many years – in the Italian, Greek, and French co-production [The Olive Tree Covenant], the development of modernization once again clashes with tradition.
But this time, 21-year-old Nika decided to fight to the end against huge ecological disasters such as environmental pollution and parasite destruction, and she had to guard not only these ancient trees, but also people's thoughts that had been polluted.
Movie [White Cow Song]
And the power of spiritual pollution is far greater than we think.
In the Iranian-French co-production [Song of the White Cow], an innocent husband, a compensation from a cynical government, a mysterious debt payer, and one after another intervene in the lives of Mina and her deaf-mute daughter, after a series of events, who remembers the truth that triggered the disaster?
Will the social problems reflected in the moral collapse of the spiritual level stop because of seemingly favorable and desirable compensation?
Movie [Leaving You in The Process]
For lovers who have been with them for many years, some separations are as helpless as Mina's, but others are premeditated.
The story of the Italian-French co-production [The Process of Leaving You] revolves around a couple who, when Alice and Tommaso offer dinner to their friends, everyone thinks they're going to announce their marriage. But the truth is just the opposite, they are going to break up...
Unlike most romance films, the film takes the theme of "the process of leaving", and the helplessness reflected behind it will also make many viewers feel.
Movie [The Ripe Spring Couple – The Way to Live a Hundred Years]
Traveling through Europe to East Asia, Shinichi and Chikako, who are about to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the "Golden Wedding", also decided to divorce at an advanced age.
The male and female protagonists in the Japanese film "The Mature Spring Couple – The Way to Live a Hundred Years" try to face the new life in this way.
Will this be the end of their marriage? Will they have a chance to live a fulfilling life for the rest of their lives?
Movie [Jailbreak Agreement]
If it's easy to get out of a relationship, escaping from a prison is one of the hardest things in the world.
The Chilean film [The Prison Break Agreement] was seen by many viewers as a remake of [Shawshank's Redemption], but it tells the story of one of the most surprising and spectacular prison breaks in Chilean history.
The famous Chinese director Xie Fei scored a 4-star high score for douban, and every audience who saw the end was not shocked.
Movie [Strong as Ever]
Such a thing as crossing the high walls of prison is somewhat out of touch with the lives of ordinary people, but the story with a little inspirational color in the French film [Strong as Ever] is closer to the soft heart of ordinary audiences.
A semi-professional wrestler who works as a temporary bodyguard for an aging movie star begins to take root, their friendship grows stronger, and they each grow unexpectedly.
If you want to fully feel the beauty of life on the big screen, then this "strong as ever" is the first choice.
Movie [Summer in naughtiness]
If you still want to have a fresh childhood perspective, it is not impossible.
The German-Slovak co-production [Summer in naughtiness], as the name suggests, tells a beautiful story of spending a summer vacation with his grandfather from the perspective of 11-year-old Jonas.
Children may not fully understand the adult world, but that doesn't mean they can't make a difference for adults. This summer journey across Germany and Slovakia was also the journey of Jonas and his grandfather.
The films of the panorama unit of the 2021 Golden Rooster International Film Festival have parting and reunion, pushing down and constructing, thinking in situ and growing feelings, aiming at personal emotions at the same time, but also amplifying the difficult and complicated diseases of society.
This is a journey of light and shadow with a global vision, and the film, as the most unique carrier, brings the most diverse life observations to the audience of the Golden Rooster International Film Festival.
On December 10, the 2021 Golden Rooster International Film Festival will be officially opened in Xiamen, and the film festival will also be officially opened in early December!
But the excitement is far more than that, in the next few days, the Golden Rooster International Film Festival will continue to release more film list content, and 2021 will also end perfectly in this final light and shadow illumination.
