SONG OF SONGS BEST MOVIE OF THE MONTH
RATE: 9.5/10

Today I heard a conversation among some of Melbourne's movie critics after watching Song Of Songs that some of them left the cinema half way through though this movie. I do not know what media outlet they write for and really I do not want to know. I was not disappointed by such comments. I just understand that the diverse culture is not accessible for many Australian film critics so it is hard for them to understand the deep meaning of this film, the characters that we met in real life and this picture's beauty. It is a real pity that some cultures are open to embrace as we understand the good quality Australian art but some Australians (being such a multicultural nation) still can not accept the true and genuine asset of the other culture. It is hard to teach to love something that people never experienced and never knew. But let's go back to the positive writing.
I found the movie to be highly artistic, Tarkovsky in some parts and Kubrick's Barry Lindon's ilke in the other parts though very unique and eccentrically surrealistic on its own. The selection of actors for extras is terrific. I loved in particularly the young Buzya. The grown up young Shimek's part was a bit plain (but that might have been the original plan (?)), but the boy Shimek's eyes were absolutely amazing! The genuine ad poetic love shown in such a lyrical way you almost forget you left the Northern meadows long years ago so lost you find yourself in the quiet concherto of this movie. The artistically drawn masterpieces of the common small town's life look like paintings or high quality still photographs from the past (sometimes their are present of many Russian small towns: dirt or roads, familiar faces, half destroyed buildings and gates, crumbs on the tables, sweet tea for breakfast and poverty everywhere. The nature shown in the movie strikes in contrast to the grey town street with abundance of colors in green hues and blooming and fruitful trees The mulberry tree gifts are almost flt on your tongue.
The film might seem a bit childish for the viewer but t IS about childhood and dreams and his is how we were: imagining ourselves to be princesses and princes but the grown up life showed us a completely different story. Childish turned into a sad void for some of us who did not learn to take what we have in life and fall in love with what we have.
I utterly loved the movie. It is so rhapsodic in some way. It is also so graceful and so expressive only a person with no imagination would not find anything there and would leave half way. I guess some critics are spoiled with way too many high technology movies and graphics so we forget why the cinematography was invented in the first place: it IS ART, let's not forget about it! I also thought: this s such an Odessian movie: I probably was the only person laughing at the cinemas at the jokes the extras were pronouncing passing by the cameras...

REMEMBER
RATE: 8/10
website
Sometimes I think memory is given to us as punishment and blessed those people who loose their memory. When you remember the good times and you know they will not come back - this is one punishment. When you remember the bad times - it is a punishment on its own. When the memory is lost there is nothing else - just the present. The movie is very powerful and it has an unexpected ending.
Why do we need to remember about the Nazi and the people who were in the concentration camps, why do we need to remember about those who deserve to be imprisoned but not hidden in Canada's vast lands and why do we need to remember those families whose members suffered during the fascist occupation? Should we accept the past and let it go? Should we forgive those who took lives of our relatives, burnt them alive and starved them to death? Or should they all be found and they do not deserve our forgiveness? Shall we live close to them and let our children play with their children? How does it work? How does piton lives close to a rabbit hole? Does he feel ashamed for killing rabbit's babies? Does the rabbit let the piton inside his hole and serves him drinks and coffee? May be the world is not fare and we should all accept that the fittest and the one with power and more guns should survive and live in luxury, the others who are weaker should serve the ones with guns. Always. I am still wondering that the world accepts so much violence still, nothing learnt from the past : we still kill each other, the killers are not punished and we try to forget - forget the bad that happened in the past.
Excellent movie with a very unexpected ending as I already mentioned and many great actors devoted their talents to this complicated subject - JUDGEMENT.

JIFF HOLOCAUST FILM SERIES 2016 PRESENTING
THE PRIME MINISTERS: SOLDIERS AND PEACEMAKERS P2 NEW
website
RATE: 6/10
Citizens want peace and nothing else. When there is peace, there is food and water, warm dwellings and safety. There is nothing else more important than peace. Peace can not be made by third party demanding you to become friends. Peace is made my wise decisions. If husbands and wives get divorced and can not solve their conflicts in a peaceful way how can we talk about peace between two or more countries where relationship are more complicated and the parameters that define the "peace" equation are more sophisticated. It seems almost impossible. Add to this that your family/country has ever changing rulers and the new one comes with new conditions, new politics and new demands, the process of peace making seems almost endless. This world is governed by money and power which is basically two same things if you see money as energy exchanging hands. There will never be peace anywhere on this planet until we change our value and our mentality. The movie is boring as politics has never been entertaining in a good way but the movie will make you re-think your own values in life. We should always keep in mind that this world is about nothing else but Us. When we solve our own inner conflicts the world will change to the more peaceful creation.

A particular highlight during the Holocaust Film Series was the presentation of a plaque to the Consular General of Japan by survivors and descendants who escaped Europe during WWII with the help of "the Schindler of Japan", Chiune Sugihara. We also enjoyed a performance by the Sholem Aleichem College Choir preceeding the screening of Song of Songs and had some very insightful discussions with both filmmakers and scholars at several of our films.
Tomorrow we will be celebrating Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel's Independence day, at HFS with a special double screening ofThe Prime Ministers: The Pioneers and The Prime Ministers: Soldiers and Peacemakers. Don't forget to claim your free Falafel between the films in Melbourne!
