A guided adventure for the eyeballs. And as such, also, of necessity, an adventure of the mind (how could it be otherwise ?).

Godard's segment from the omnibus film "The Oldest Profession"

A historical drama set in the 1400s, a young man sent to Italy but is forced back after his father's mysterious death.

Charming and innocent, Candide is vigorously chased away by the Baron, for his close encounters with the pretty Cunégonde. World War II breaks out, and when he is drafted and taken prisoner, he is forced to take German nationality and ends up guarding the camp where he was imprisoned. He crossed into Switzerland, but as he had no bank account, he was incarcerated for eight days for trespassing. Hunted by the Gestapo, he kills two men to free Cunégonde, who has finally been found. They both flee to Argentina, and their world tour begins. In Paris, Moscow, New York, Borneo and Alexandria. They try to follow Dr. Pangloss' optimistic rule of life. Tossed about, separated, they find themselves grown old and wiser, thinking only of cultivating their garden on the shores of the Mediterranean.

Seo Dong-jae, facing a grim future due to his tarnished reputation as a corrupt prosecutor, is assigned a new high profile case. This new assignment pushes him to navigate a perilous balance between his prosecutorial instincts and opportunistic inclinations.

"The Looking Glass Murders" is an obscure, shot on video, made for Scottish TV version of the mime improv play "Pierrot in Turquoise," which Lindsey Kemp and David Bowie first staged in 1967. Pierrot is a freaky mime who ventures into a mirror where he falls in love and rolls around with the equally grotesque Columbine. But when Columbine beds black stallion (in half-assless spandex) Harlequin, Pierrot's jealousy takes over and drives him to murder. Cloud watches over the proceedings from his perch (on a ladder!) and narrates in song. 　　"Weird" doesn't begin to describe this one. It begins and ends with a man playing piano, but no sound is emitted. The sparse production doesn't betray its theatrical roots -- there's a grand total of two sets and they make no attempt to disguise the fact they're thrown together on stages. While I've never found mimes as unsettling as most, the trio in this film are REALLY creepy. And although it has a short running time of 26 minutes, it's so tediously strange and surreal that it felt like it was three hours long. When it comes to films I'm a bit of a masochist, opting for the strange, bizarre and reviled, but this one was almost too weird for me.

Young Valentina uses all her might to believe that her deceased father is still alive.

Hunter S. Thompson went to the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago as a journalist and returned home disgusted, yet motivated by what he’d just seen: violently suppressed protests, riots, corrupt politicians, and abusive cops. Back in Aspen, he finds more of the same. The local police and sheriff’s departments are targeting young people, harassing and charging them with absurd crimes and trying to push them out of town. Hunter decides he has to do something to change the police brutality that has become the norm.
