A Time For Drunken Horse
The daily life in a small Kurdish family at the border of Iraq and Iran. A lively, yet very simple and breath-holding film
Thousand acres
The King-Lear-like farmer and his three daughters story. Jessica Lange was great in playing the role of the goodhearted daughter and sister. Money can destroy as well as it can build. Evil brings evil sooner or later. Are two obvious lessons from the film.
Tar Angel (L'ange de goudron)
A Film about the immigration and its consequences on an Arabic (Algerian) family who migrated to Canada, seeking peace, justice, freedom and democracy. The family realized what those "elastic" concepts mean but very late. The film show only very little about the sufferings of Arab immigrants to the western countries but even this little is enough to alarm the human consciousness about the agony of those uprooted people.
Talk to her

Love can make wonders, love is so painful sometimes, love is so delicious, love knows no limits... all these messages were very clear in this well done film by Almodovar .It was the arena of love where all the persons in this film wrestled so wildly. Deserved to be seen again and again.

Tiger and snow
Roberto Benigni romantic film about the Third Gulf war. as usual he attempted to provok thinking about the war and love.
Tin Drum

Fantastic mixture of realiy and imagination through which a tragedy of a German city "Danzik" is presented adoptation of Gunter Grass' allegorical novel with the same title. There are scenes that stik to memory and a story that flows as a river.

The thin red line

Another drama of war this time about the battles in the pacific action. The Japanese fighting to death the "kids" of uncle Sam who came just to play a game that turned to be so dangerous game. Good screenplay and technical effects but the story has many weak points.

Three colors (Trois couleurs: Bleu)

Love and music two themes that I adore. Death and faithfulness two events that are decisive in human life. Juliet Benoche as gentle and sensitive as always. The triology is very affecting.

To die for

 Nicole Kidman deserves the best actress award that she got for the film. Running after fame and celebrity life may end with agony.

Tootsie

Tootsie could be you, that is the message of this well done Hollywood film. Tootsie could be you or me or anyone who under the pressure of life change part or all his personality.

Fresh Bait (L'appat)

What is the most important thing in life? is it money?. The cinema and T.V show us how easy it is to collect money so why hesitation? a group of young people motivated by the will to get rich very quickly commit awful crimes without knowing what they are really doing. The film deserves its Golden Bear Award of Berlin Binale.

Triumph of the will

Made in 1934 but still as powerful as it is "Deutchland abbe all..." and the two hours film is conveying its message in an intelligent way.

Other Films: Tsotsi, Titanic, The trial of Henery Kissinger,..
