"Guan Shan Fei Du"
Director: John Ford

Genre: Drama Action Romance Western
Douban score: 8.3
This film, adapted from Maupassant's famous "Lamb Fat Ball", is not only the famous work of Hollywood star John Wayne, but also a milestone work of Westerns, which officially elevates Westerns from B-grade films to mainstream level, just like Chinese martial arts films and Japanese samurai films, opening an independent colorful chapter.
The Wizard of Oz 3D
Director: Victor Fleming
Starring: Judy Garland, Frank Morgan Ray Borgbert Lar, Jack Haley
Genre: Song and Dance Fantasy Adventure
Douban score: 8.1
Hollywood's first color film opened with the door of fantasy that Dorothy pushed open. The adventure of the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Timid Lion can be the happiest experience of watching movies from both adults and children.
Gone with the Wind
Directed by: Victor Fleming, George Cook, Sam Wood
Starring: Vivien Leigh Clark Gable Olivia de Havilland Thomas Mitchell
Genre: Drama Romance Historical War
Douban score: 9.2
Needless to say, how classic is this movie? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best film ever adapted from a novel. Epic stories and love, atmospheric scenes, can be called the perfect star match, whether it is the first time to see or revisit is worth buying tickets.
"Lovers of Shimbashi"
Director: Leo Carax
Starring: Juliet Binoche Denis Lavan
Genre: Drama Love
This love between a tramp and a rich woman is probably the craziest in film history. That kind of resolute romance, the ultimate devotion, just like the brilliant fireworks in the film, illuminates everyone's heart.
"Cousins"
Director: Claude Chabrol
Starring: Gérard Bran Jean-Claude Briarley Juliette McNairle
Genre: Drama
Douban score: 7.7
The French New Wave director Chabrol's blockbuster masterpiece brought him the honor of the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival. An honest and responsible young man from another province came to Paris to study, and after seeing the debauched and corrupt life of his Parisian cousin, his Paris dream gradually became disillusioned and fell... The director handles this human tragedy with unusual calmness and is full of realistic criticism.
Pauline on the Beach
Director: Eric Houmai
Starring: Amanda Langler, Ariel Doballe Pascal Gregory
Genre: Drama Comedy Romance
Using a seemingly unremarkable but exquisitely designed film language to portray the delicate state between people is Hou Mai's unique secret weapon. This life-style sketch examines all kinds of lies, deceptions, betrayals and truths in the adult love world through the eyes of a young girl. Boys and girls in love, hurry up and learn.
"Soul Break Venice"
Director: Lukino Visconti
Starring: Dirk Bogard Romulo Wally Nora Richie Marisa Berensen
Genre: Drama Same-sex
Douban score: 8.2
Just looking at this beautiful teenager's stills is enough to appreciate the extreme beauty that the film wants to convey. The male composer was dazzled by the beautiful teenager in the crowd, and even broke Venice. The film is not only about love, but also about human beings' unrelenting pursuit of beauty and art.
Manila: Under the Clutches of Neon Lights
Director: Lino Broca
Starring: Hilda Coronel Benbol Rocco Jr. Lo Salvador Joni Gamboa
Genre: Drama Suspense
Douban score: 7.8
One of the fatal attractions of the festival for film fans is that they can see films from all over the world during this period, such as this one, which is known as the most heavyweight work in the history of Philippine cinema. As a filipino-level director, Lino Broca deeply analyzes the social reality through the tragic experience of a country boy in Manila, and lets people see the cruelest and most powerless fate of the people at the bottom.
Song of the Earth
Directed by: Satyajit Rey
Starring: Kanu Bannerjee Karuna Bannerjee Subir Bannerjee
Douban score: 8.9
Satyajit Rey is a master of Indian realist cinema, the founder of the Indian New Film Movement, and has been named one of the eleven greatest directors of the twentieth century by Time Magazine. The three works "Song of the Earth", "Song of the Great River" and "Song of the Great Tree" are collectively known as the "Apu Trilogy", showing the real situation of the Indian countryside. The Three Films of the North Film Festival are screened together this time, which is also a big deal, and everyone can watch the three films together as much as possible.
Rashomon
Director: Akira Kurosawa
Starring: Toshiro Mifune Chiaki Kyomachiko Masayuki Mori Shimura Akira
Genre: Drama Suspense Crime
Douban score: 8.7
Kurosawa seems to be the darling of the North Film Festival every year, and this year' North Film Festival, in addition to bringing out several of his masterpieces, also shows works by other directors around the world who pay tribute to the Black Emperor or are directly inspired by it, which should be very interesting to see. "Rashomon" can be regarded as an introductory work to appreciate Akira Kurosawa, and after reading it, you will know how powerful the master really is.
"The Idiot"
Starring: Hara Setsuko Masayuki Mifune Toshiro Shimura Joe Higashiyama Chieko
Douban score: 7.1
Akira Kurosawa's attempt to localize Dostoevsky's "Idiot" has been evaluated in mixed reviews. There is a 166-minute version, there is also a 180-minute version, I don't know which version to put this time.
《Kagemusha》
Starring: Nakadai Koya Yamazaki Tsutomu Yui Kota Daiki Shuji
Genre: Drama Historical War
Zhang Yimou's "Shadow" last year is actually a tribute to this "Shadow Warrior", but to be honest, it is also a story about stand-ins, and the latter really does not know where to go higher than the former. The picture, the scene, and the soundtrack are all so perfect that they must be felt on the big screen.
"Heroic Seven Dragons"
Director: John Sturges
Starring: Yu Borenna, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughan
Type: Action West
Douban score: 7.5
Six years after Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" came out, Hollywood remade "Heroic Seven Dragons", not blindly imitating the classics, but shooting its own characteristics, which can be regarded as the Western-style "Seven Samurai".
Red Dead Redemption
Directed by: Sergio Leone
Starring: Clint Eastwood Gian Maria Volont Wolfgang Lucassi
Douban score: 8.4
The film is remade from Akira Kurosawa's famous work "Stick of Heart", although the story is still about the story of the wandering rangers circling around to save the common people in the two evil forces, but Leone redefined the Western with his unique lens and soundtrack, and also let the world know Uncle Toki.
Judo Dragon Tiger List
Director: Du Qifeng
Starring: Gu Tianle, Aaron Kwok, Ying Cai'er, Liang Jiahui, Chen Xiaochun
Genre: Drama Action
This is Dusir's own favorite work, and he unreservedly expresses his love for Akira Kurosawa in the film. The lives of the three little people who met in Pingshui were all a mess, but they lived so seriously, and for the first time, someone took inspiration so romantically.
"Smiling Proud of the River"
Director: Hu Jinquan, Xu Ke, Li Huimin, Cheng Xiaodong
Starring: Xu Guanjie, Ye Tong, Jacky Cheung, Zhang Min, Yuan Jieying
Genre: Action Martial Arts Costume
Mr. Jin Yong left us last year, and this year's North Film Festival launched a special screening of "Great Hero Jin Yong" to commemorate him. This "Laughing Proud of the Jianghu" is hailed as a model of new martial arts films, not only Xu Guanjie, who is considered to be the most like Ling Huchong, but also the well-known "A Laugh in the Sea". The directorial dispute behind the scenes of the film is also worth gossiping about.
"The Legend of the Eagle Shooter"
Director: Liu Zhenwei
Starring: Liang Chaowei Lin Qingxia Zhang Guorong Ye Yuqing Zhang Xueyou
Genre: Comedy Fantasy Martial Arts Costume
Maybe it's the least four or six Jin Yong remake, but it's also certainly the most joyful Jin Yong remake. No matter when you take it out, from which paragraph to start, you can still laugh forward and backward, which is probably the most classic comedy.
East Evil West Poison: Ultimate Edition
Director: Wong Kar-wai
Starring: Zhang Guorong, Lin Qingxia, Liang Chaowei, Jacky Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Liu Jialing, Liang Jiahui, Yang Caini
Genre: Drama Action Love
Since we said "East becomes West", how can we not mention its sister work "East Evil west poison"? How funny the former is, how desolate the latter is. Just by looking at Kasi, it can be said that it has gathered all the gods and faces of the Chinese film circle in the last century, not to mention the perfection of the scene, scenes, soundtrack and other aspects.
Song in the Rain
Director: Stanley Donan Jean Kelly
Starring: Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Jane Hagen, Millard Mitchell
Genre: Comedy Romance Song and Dance
Douban score: 9.0
Although Stanley Donan also left us last year, this "king of song and dance films", and the single 'in the rain, which danced on the lamppost, will become an immortal memory of love and dreams in everyone's heart.
2001: A Space Odyssey (IMAX)
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Starring: Kyle Dula Gary Lockwood William Sylvester Daniel Richter
Genre: Sci-fi Thriller Adventure
It is expected to become the most difficult movie to grab tickets at this year's North Film Festival. It is no exaggeration to dedicate any more praise to this sci-fi movie that is still the greatest in the world. And in view of the fact that this is still an IMAX version screening, fans and friends can list it as a ticket-grabbing No. 1, grab it on the first one.
Schindler's List
Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Liam Neeson Ben Kingsley Ralph Fiennes Caroline Goodall Jonathan Sagar
Douban score: 9.5
Probably the most well-known war movie in the world, right? The horrific killing of Jews by the German Nazis, the brilliance of humanity that bloomed in Schindler's life and death decisions, the only bright red in the black and white images... Everywhere is so direct to the heart.
"Spy On"
Director: Doug Riemann
Starring: Matt Damon, Franca Potent, Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Julia Stiles
Genre: Action Suspense Thriller
Douban score: 8.5
Where are Matt Damon's fans? Tell you a good news, the North Film Festival will have a package screening of "Spy Heavy" 1-5 this time.
The Little Girl in Red
Director: Cheng Weihao
Starring: Xu Weining Yellow River Liu Yingshang Zhang Baizhou Lin Yizhen
Genre: Thriller Horror
Douban score: 5.7
To be able to see this super popular Taiwanese horror film on the big screen, the fans of the North Film Festival are blessed this time. And it's three series of works screened together.
Kennel Horror
Director: Matteo Galloni
Starring: Marcello Fonte, Eduardo Pesche, Nonzia Skiano Adam Dionissi
Genre: Drama Thriller Crime
Douban score: 6.8
Italy often gives the impression of romantic beauty, but in this film, the director shows a desolate, cold, selfish, violent place where crime breeds, and how a kind and weak person is forced by the system and the environment step by step to a desperate situation. The actor's performance is very impactful.
Pi's Fantasy Drift (IMAX) 3D
Director: Ang Lee
Starring: Sura Shama Ilfan Khan Rafi Spou Adil Hussein Tabu
Genre: Drama Fantasy Adventure
Uncle Ann's four-seat fantasy blockbuster a few years ago. The legendary story reveals a mysterious and profound oriental philosophy, and every frame wants to take a screenshot as a screensaver, which is so beautiful that people want to cry, and this time it is the superposition of IMAX+3D strong combination effects.
"Night and Day"
Director: Ryusuke Hamaguchi
Starring: Higashi Izumi Masayoshi Karada Mika Seto Yasushi
Douban score: 7.3
The stills and synopsis look like a Pure Japanese Love Film, but it turns out that there are many elements of suspense and horror, and the director uses a story that is so simple that it is even a little dog bloody, exploring the deep and subtle side of the relationship between the two sexes.
"Girl"
Director: Lucas De Haute
Starring: Victor Polst, Arya Vossot Oliver Bodart, Tijmen Govaltz
In addition to having a ballet dream, the 15-year-old also wants to be a girl, although he has enlightened parents and mature medical methods, he finds that the difficulties and obstacles encountered on this road are still much more than imagined... Probably the best LGBT movie in recent years, the actor's performance is unbelievable.
"The Day the Nation Went Bankrupt"
Director: Choi Kwok-hee
Starring: Kim Hye-so, Liu Ya-jin, Heo Jun-ho, Zhao Woo-jin, Vincent Caso
Last year's South Korean phenomenal film, which focuses on the 1997 Asian financial crisis, tells the story of people who wanted to stop the crisis and those who pursued profit in the week before the country went bankrupt. After reading it, you should be able to gain some enlightenment about the relationship between citizens and society and the state.
Finally, the first batch of complete film lists for Beijing screenings is attached (the final film list may have individual fine-tuning, please refer to the official announcement):
