For all of you interested in movies with a political background, I can suggest the following´: Missing 1982 - USA - Psychological Drama/Docudrama/Political Drama PLOT DESCRIPTION Costa-Gavras's tense political drama is set in an unspecified South American country, in the throes of a military coup. American activist Charles Horman (John Shea), who has been a thorn in the side of the country's military ever since his arrival, suddenly disappears. In trying to find out what has happened, his wife Beth (Sissy Spacek) is stonewalled, not only by the ruling junta but by the American consulate. His father, staunchly patriotic Ed Horman (Jack Lemmon), joins Beth in her search. Ed and his daughter-in-law have never seen eye to eye politically, and he refuses to entertain the notion that his son's disappearance might be part of a larger conspiracy or cover-up. But as the days grow into weeks, Ed comes to the shattering conclusion that he and his family have been betrayed by the American government, on behalf of the "friendly" South American dictator who holds his people in a grip of iron. Adapted by Costa-Gavras and Donald E. Stewart from a book by Thomas Hauser, Missing was inspired by the true story of the late Charles Horman. In spite of (or perhaps because of) condemnation from certain high-ranking officials in the Reagan administration, the film went on to win an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Actress. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide It´s pretty obvious, that this film relates to the US backed military coup in Chile in 1973.
I love European cinema. In March I went to a film festival and a saw a Hungarian movie that really impressed me. It's called "Control". Has anyone seen it? It tells the story of several ticket inspectors. I hate ticket inspectors, because in Bulgaria they're extremely rude to passengers. But in this movie they're the ones outcast by society and I find that viewpoint innovative. Apart from that my other favourite movies are:"One flew over the cuckoo's nest", "Hair", "The doors", "Mar adentro" ("The sea inside") and "Abre los ojos" ("Open your eyes"). And everything from Tim Burton, of course. Especially "Edward Scissorhands".
