El secdleto de la tlompeta (1995)

Tras dos sesiones enriquecedoras que han dado pie a sesudos a la par que interesantes debates sobre la delación en la República Democrática Alemana y el por interés te quiero Andrés en el New York postmoderno, propongo, como ya os avancé, una gamberrada.

Se trata de El secdleto de la tlompeta (1995), un corto de humor absurdo de Javier Fesser. Mejor no os avanzo nada más.

(Adjunto traducción literal del Google Translator para que luego no se diga)
After two enriching sessions have led to brainy at the same time interesting discussions on the betrayal in the German Democratic Republic and the reason I love Andrew interest in the New York postmodernist, I propose, as you avancé, a prank.

This is the tlompeta The secdleto (1995), one short of absurd humor de Javier Fesser. You better not get us any more.

La crítica ha dicho:

" It's just 15 minutes long, but is the funniest short movie you can ever see. No argument, weird characters... all the ingredients for a bad movie make here an incredibly amusing film."
Anonymous, Spain


"The best way to describe would probably be to say it's like a surrealist painting brought to life. A collage of characters, places, sounds and smells which interwaeave and collide with each other in a seemingly chaotic dance."

Anonymous, Spain


"El Secdleto..." is much more than a short film, it is simply the funniest and most incredible film I have ever seen in my entire life: Pure genius, pure entertainment, pure magic... Words like hilarious come to my mind if I had to define the film with one word. I tell you this is a bright and clever film, so amazing that will rock you from the very first minute. The only thing against it is that it is almost impossible to watch it, so if you have the opportunity DON'T MISS IT!!!"

Cofee & Cigarettes: Cousins?

Coffee and cigarettes (check for instance the imdb or wikipedia links) is a Jim Jarmush's film released on 2003 consisting in 11 short stories. The stories of all vignettes have two things in common: coffee and cigarettes, but the underlying plot of the stories are very different. The structure of the film has several contact points with a previous film Smoke (by Wang et al. 1995), where the common thread of the stories is that they are related to a tobacco shop in Brooklyn.

For the next StarKino session, a single vignette of the 2003 Jarmush's film is proposed: "Cousins?". The story is roughly 15minutes long and is basically the dialogue between Alfred Molina (as himself, playing a non-successful actor) and Steve Coogan (as himself, playing a rather vain star). The non-present character of Spike Jonze (also as himself, playing as a director) represents a key point in the plot, but nothing else will be revealed at this stage.

If you are so impatient that you cannot wait until the next StarKino session, you can actually see part of the vignette in youtube.

Enjoy!!

Z punktu widzenia nocnego portiera

Krzysztof Kieslowski (Warsaw, 1941) is the director of this Short-Documentary about a night porter in the Soviet Poland. This is an exemplary work with a high political content. Kieslowski critics the Soviet regime throught the life and thoughts of an ideal Soviet citizen, a night porter.

This Short and the way Kieslowski critics his own government is very much likely to the way that Berlanga did in Plácido, a master piece that we will for sure have the opportunity to see in the future.

I strongly recommend you to review the "Night Porter's Point of View" comments about the film at imdb.

Cheers,
