Brummi (German)

By Golu
What was the whole point of making this film really!!I don't understand why writers would write something so bad (which doesn't even deserve a short film format) and then someone will actually fund and make almost a 2 hour movie where literally nothing is going on.

Rolf is depressive 50 plus year old man who wants t o be in relationships and has been in a few but doesn't like being alone. His half-sister seems to be his only friend and doesn't have good relations with his parents. H meets Thomas online, another 57 year old man and soon they hot it off well with each other. Thomas is a well read, successful guy and many times Rolf feels he is not unto Thomas' standard. The next 90 minutes are around the two men spending time together talking random shit about books and politics and other stuff. As expected, a couple of times misunderstandings happen but they stick together. Eventually they decide to go for a trip, which gets Rolf super excited but suddenly A day before that Thomas dies of cardiac arrest leaving Rolf alone.

You would think this is a sad love story but it really isn't. Its annoying, if anything. Two very dull people get together (nothing wrong with that) and get know one another; but why torture audience with such a boring storyline. I mean if the two could find someone in one another, good for them, but there was not one single things that as interesting in either of them as individuals or in their relationship as well. It was boring with a capital B. The actors were o doing their job but it was the awful story and direction and of course the dialogues. The dialogues felt very bookish and not something normal people talk (unless the version Is aw had terrible subtitles). Many scenes in the film made no sense, like Rolf's interactions with his boos or his parents. Completely avoidable. (1/10)

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

By Golu
Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin...

Sei no Gekiyaku (Japanese) [Dangerous Drugs of Sex]

By Golu
Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane. It is really hard to describe the genre of this film in one word. Its important not that the film has some really disturbing scenes so if you go into seeing this film, please proceed with caution. Although any sexual non-consensual activity is not ok, this film has its won strange way of showing that suicide is not the only solution to all life's problems. Makoto is a regular office goer, who just finds out that his girlfriend is probably cheating on him. ON top of it, his parents sudden death coming back from a trip that he forced them to take, he gets completely dejected and decides to commit suicide. Unknown to him, he is saved by mysterious man Yoda Ryoji, and he wakes up finding himself tied up in leather and belts in a very BDSM setting. This mysterious saver soo...

One Summer Night (Korean)

By Golu
I really wanted to like this film but for non native speakers, these movie leaves a lot to be understood and the way scenes were unfolding in front of me, I wasn't sure many times what was really going on. The story had potential button getting any back story on any of the characters limited my ability to empathize with any of these actors. Film starts with two North Korea military guys Yong Joon and Jae Sung having sex and they are caught red handed and they run. Three years later we see Yong Joon in Seoul leading a very mundane and poor life. He has a boyfriend Tae-Kyu, who is a weird guy. He is carefree, doesn't do any work and is completely emotional and financially dependent on Young Joon. In fact, even Yong Joon will go to any lengths to protect him , fend for him and taking care of him to the extent of even taking up prostitution. Suddenly one day Jae Sung appears in their life again. His motivation is not clear but it is obvious he wants Yong Joon back in his life, who ...
