CAST: Anthony Hopkins (Charles Morse), Alec Baldwin (Robert Green), Elle Macpherson (Mickey Morse), L.Q. Jones (Styles), Bart the Bear. Shot on location in Alberta, Canada. 117’. Scope. MPAA 35275. R = 17. Finnish / Swedish subtitles by Janne Staffans. DIST: Columbia Finland. Viewed in Helsinki, VET, Thursday 16 April 1998. *** ”Why is the rabbit not afraid? Because he’s smarter than the jaguar.” A good survival thriller about three men stranded in deepest Alaska forest after a plain crash. Anthony Hopkins is the millionaire who can never know whether others really like him and has had to learn to trust only his own resources. A bookworm, he learns to master the skills needed in the wilderness with no fire, no food, no shelter, and no weapons against the man-eating kodiak bear. Hopkins even learns to create fire with ice. - Visually majestic, with no razzle-dazzle. This is good solid story-telling, and it’s not even story-driven but character-driven.

Viewed in Helsinki, VET, Wednesday 15 April 1998. *** Sequel to Blues Brothers (1980). Elwood Blues is released from prison and at once he’s at it again, creating a band and raising hell. The music is even better this time, and the viewer who’s expecting strong R&B performances will be rewarded. The comedy is the weaker element. A big budget is no guarantee of big laughs. Here’s another soundtrack that I’d love to hear again: a great mix of standards and lesser-known but equally thrilling tracks.

It seems to be the history of the Jewish community of Mexico as seen through the perspective of two women, Oshinica and Rifke. It is about the encounter of the Sephardi and the Ashkenazi in Mexico. I hope to catch the rest of the film later.

PD: Robert Herlth, Walter Röhrig. CAST: Emil Jannings (Tartuffe), Werner Krauss (Orgon), Lil Dagover (Elmire). Framing story: André Mattoni (The Grandson), Hermann Picha (The Grandfather), Rosa Valetti (The Housekeeper). Music for live accompaniment composed by Giuseppe Becce. 1876 m /24 fps/ 68’. Silent b&w. Yleisradio TV2 PAL transmission at midnight on 13 April 1998 of a ZDF reconstruction (1973?) by Gerd Luft and Jürgen Labenski, with the score by Giuseppe Becce arranged by Rolf Unkel, with Finnish subtitles by Pirkko Vikkula. Caught on Easter Monday on VHS. ** The print was shown through a wrong gate, cutting people’s heads. The original music was somewhat lethargically interpreted. - ”Vielfach ist die Zahl der Heuchler auf Erden! Vielfach die Maske, unter denen sie uns begegnen!” The Grandfather sees through the wily schemes of his housekeeper as his grandson projects for him a film of Tartuffe. Murnau’s meeting with Molière is like the elephant storming the porcelain shop. The first rate actors save what they can from the pedestrian direction of the story. Murnau as a storyteller is here at his worst. But the visual composition is immaculate. As a photo album Tartuffe would be marvellous. Using the freeze-frame on video one can cherish the best effects. - Having written this I notice the harsh judgement of Kracauer: Tartuffe is an example of ”all-pervading paralysis”, ”itself Tartuffish”.

Excellent use of subjective camera is in striking contrast to the unhappy experiment in The Lady In the Lake. We first see Bogart’s face when 68 minutes of the film have lapsed, but thanks to the imaginative and exciting cinematography this is never a problem. Too many coincidences at the start weaken my involvement in the story. Otherwise this is a fine thriller.

The stressed salaryman starts to indulge in a secret vice: taking dancing lessons. His wife gets so suspicious she even hires a detective. It’s a film about breaking loose from routine, but it’s also a great dance film.

Japanese registration number: 114594. Finnish / Swedish subtitles by Tarja Sahlsten / Ditte Kronström. DIST: Buena Vista International Finland. Viewed in Helsinki, VET, Thursday 9 April 1998. *** The original version is supposedly 135’. The print viewed was the Miramax international release version. - ”Ballroom dancing is regarded with great suspicion in a country where couples don’t go out hand in hand or say ‘I Love You’”. The stressed salaryman starts to indulge in a secret vice: taking dancing lessons. His wife gets so suspicious she even hires a detective. It’s a film about breaking loose from routine, but it’s also a great dance film.

Desperate Measures / Piinaavat hetket. © Mandalay Entertainment. D: Barbet Schroeder. SC: David Klass. DP: Luciano Tovoli. CAST: Michael Keaton (Peter McCabe), Andy Garcia (Frank Conner), Marcia Gay Harden (Samantha Hawkins). 100’. 1,85. MPAA 34792. Rated R = 17. Finnish / Swedish subtitles by Timo Porri / Janne Staffans. DIST: Columbia Finland. 35 mm print viewed in Helsinki, VET, Wednesday 1 April 1998. *** San Francisco cop Andy Garcia can only help his terminally ill son with bone marrow transplant from psycho killer Michael Keaton. Non stop overkill of spectacular action. The title of the film is more apt than the producers might want it to be.
