Training Rules (2009)

 No drinking, no drug, no lesbian. Narrated by international swimming legend Diana Nyad (National Public Radio), Training Rules examines how women’s collegiate sports, caught in a web of homophobic practices, destroyed the dreams of many of its most talented athletes. Specifically, the documentary examines the Penn State’s women’s basketball program under 26 year veteran Rene Portland. She had three rules in her program: No drinking, No drugs, No lesbians. After years of discrimination documented here, Portland was sued by a player and Penn State was forced to confront the issue.

Drool (2009)

The most offbeat "family road trip comedy" since Little Miss Sunshine, with as much pure, unadulterated zaniness as a John Waters film, Drool is one of the darkest and most bizarre queer comedies in recent memory. Written and directed by Nancy Kissim, the film has roots in the wacky creativity of the Slamdance film festival – and it shows.We begin with a high school girl (Tabitha, played by Ashley Duggan Smith), agreeing to an impromptu sexual act with the school jock. She’s as feisty as she is apparently promiscuous, a sort of proto-loner with a notebook full of doodles and a home life as messed-up as a real life Kelly Bundy.
Tabby narrates the entire film, beginning with a guided tour through a typical dinner with her family. Her mother, Anora (Laura Harring) is the true protagonist, a battered housewife who spends her days daydreaming about her husband – that is, if he were a better man. In real life, Cheb (Oded Fehr, best known for his role in the Mummy and Resident Evil series) is an angry, abusive, racist man who treats his wife like scum.
Tabby also has a brother — Little Pete (Christopher Newhouse), who’s a 13-year-old barely closeted gay boy who tries to butch up his image around dad. Little Pete kisses up to “Daddy” all during dinner, while Cheb just berates Anora as she sits blankly, daydreaming.
Without the twee animated sequences (Tabby’s notebook drawings come to life) or the cute and quirky soundtrack, it’d be tough to differentiate the goings-on from a terrible Lifetime “movie of the week” — there’s even a thoroughly un-sexy sex scene between Cheb and Anora (from which the film gets its title). Anora (and by extension, Tabby) lives in a rotten, downtrodden, going-nowhere world.
All of that changes when a perky African-American woman (Imogene, Jill Marie Jones) moves in next door and befriends Anora. Sporting a purple car and a wardrobe that would put RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants to shame, Imogene sells “Kathy Kay” makeup for a living and wears enough of her product to bury a small animal.
She bedazzles Anora with her beauty products and friendship (in fact, she’s actually the first friend that Tabby can recall her mother ever having). They bond over lotion and mud masks and coffee, giggling all the way. It doesn’t take long for the lovely Imogene to start replacing “fantasy Cheb” in Anora’s naughtier daydreams.

Immacolata e Concetta, l'altra gelosia (1979)

Audio Language: Italiano

Immaculate, thirty-five, married to the mother of the little mason Pasquale and Lucia, is linked to debt Cyrus Pappalardo, and ends up in prison for trying to bend to the will of that a sixteen year old orphan. Concetta, thirty-five, threatened by the husband of a woman with whom he maintains a lesbian relationship, in turn ends up in prison for having shot the man. Immacolata and Concetta free again, continuing the friendship born in the particular cell where they were locked. The scandalous story becomes common knowledge and Pasquale tries in vain to stop his wife, being the owner of the house where they live and the butcher that she manages the hunt. Regardless of public opinion at home brings Immaculate Concetta, easy prey to psychological crisis. The Pappalardo, however, insists Immaculate and is forced to divide his time between him and Concetta when the daughter, was paralyzed by a fall, it needs expensive care. When Immaculate claims to be pregnant, killing Concetta reacts.
The film is very explicitly a Savior Piscicelli shooting modes and narrative conventions of melodrama and film Neapolitan vein. His players come from the dialect theater, and the story is full of debts to pay, bullying to please, misfortunes that happen to the creature, pilgrimages to Montevergine. But in the midst of all this lies the scandal, the story of a love between two women, born in a prison and went outside, regardless of the people, a husband of her friends.
This is a fabulous little movie, masterfully acted and quite macabre. If you have a chance to see it, don't miss it. It may be advertised as a story of "Two Women in Love", which is its English title, however it's more than that. It's about risk taking and "doing as you are pleased" (the favourite motto of the main character) and getting whatever goes along with that. The atmosphere of an old, small Italian town in the Naples region has been convincingly recreated. Those who speak Italian will recognise the accent immediately. Erotic scenes are awesome, albeit applied in moderation. They are both exciting and convincing. At moments they are quite explicit even by today's standards, and the movie was released in 1979! A wonderful movie without stars, bells and whistles, for those open minded who are not afraid to take risks themselves.

Boogie Woogie (2009)

Based on the novel by Danny Moynihan, and relocated to London from New York, Boogie Woogie is Altman without the quality — in other words, it’s just like  Prêt-a-Porter (sorry, Bob). There’s a lot going on, but nothing happening. Characters lurch to and from each other without any real reason, and the film feels poorly edited. Altman leaves viewers to make their own minds up about how certain characters interact with each other; this film leaves viewers questioning their own memory skills. Admittedly, it’s a nice change to have a British film about something other than London gangs, gritty Northerners or the nobility of Edwardian Surrey, and there are some plus points — just not very many. Danny Huston, as Art, is the standout. Sounding exactly like his father, John, Huston smiles an oily smile and laughs an insincere laugh in every scene. He’s in it for the money, but we like him. It would have been easy to make his character obnoxious, and I applaud the fact that he isn’t. Stellen Skarsgard, Joanna Lumley and Alan Cumming all play exactly the type of characters you would expect them to, Charlotte Rampling appears in one scene with eyelids slung so low I worry for her ability to see low beams, and Gillian Anderson brings her one English accent out of the closet for another airing. Poor girl, she sounds like she’s going to faint at any minute.

For all that, Boogie Woogie is not a terrible movie. It’s light, for the most part, and Huston is a delight in every scene. It just seems that satirizing something that already seems satirical to anybody not in that community is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel.

Huis clos (1954)

Audio Language: Français

Probably the first important woman director France has ever known.Male chauvinism:her movies are very rarely broadcast on TV and her name is slowly fading.
She often adapted Colette's works for the screen,but here,she tackles Jean-Paul Sartre ,no less!It's the philosopher's most famous drama (with its immortal sentence :"l'enfer,c'est les autres" (= Hell is
other people).Audry had to cope with problems inherent to any adaptation of a play:she succeeded quite good by using flashbacks -like Mankiewicz would do for "suddenly last summer"-,and inventing a very brilliant first scene:Alan Parker might have seen the movie,because he uses the elevator in "Angel heart" (1987)the same way Audry did in 1954.
Most of all,she's got three convincing actors,two of whom are unfortunately forgotten today (Gaby Sylvia was essentially a stage actress and Frank Villard was cast against type here:he was the tough male raider type:but convincing anyway).The third one is none other than the great Arletty:after "les enfants du paradis",like so many others who "collaborated" during the occupation -her only sin was to fall in love with a German:she said afterwards "My heart is French,but my a.. is international!"-she was blacklisted and when she could return,she was relegated to small parts -but she triumphed on the stage notably with Blanche's part in "streetcar named desire"-."Huis clos" is one of her rare leading parts after the war.She outdoes herself here ,playing lesbian Inès so intensely she's almost frightening and threatening.As historian Jean Tulard said "she was our best actress" "Huis clos" is really interesting and will reward you if you give it a chance.Three people (alive or dead no matter)tearing each others to pieces.

Chloe (2009)

Chloe is provocative not because of the sex scenes or sight of skin (which is present), but by the tension created between leading ladies Amanda Seyfried and Julianne Moore. Seyfried uses her cat eyes to deliver a seductive performance drawing attention in every frame, while Moore leads the overall demands of the film with her alluring presence and broad character depth. Neeson’s performance is impressively consistent even though his wife Natasha Richardson tragically died in a skiing accident during the film’s production.

The majority of the film is engaging and cohesive, but where Chloe gets off track is the surreal ending. In true Hitchcockian form, it’s an understatement to say that Chloe takes a quick blindsided turn and then just abruptly ends. This type of closing is a great thing in the world of Hitchcock’s canon, but Chloe left me wondering “What the hell just happened?”. I’m not into spoilers so I’ll leave it at that, but man I really could have used more substance for how it all plays out and an ending that was in bed with the first two acts.
