50 years ago, on May 25th 1963, 30 of 32 independent African states founded the Organization of African Unity (OAV), and this day was called Africa Day. Let’s review what has happened in Africa in the 50 years since: Apartheid, civil wars, tribal wars, genocide, dictators, child soldiers, violent coups… I can’t find unity. I don’t know how to break it to you, guys, but it seems that your organization hasn’t done such a good job. But then again, I want to see how united you’ll be if the European powers colonize you, draw arbitrary borders, enslave your people and pillage your natural resources. So instead of celebrating an imaginary African unity and some failing organization, today I choose to speak to the people, and plead for it: listen to the nice dentist and unite!. Even though there are many differences between you, you have one common goal: better the life of African people, and that will only be achieved by being united. You have the power - natural resources the rest of the world covets - and the only thing standing between you and a bright future is unity. As we continue to wait and hope for true African Unity, let’s look at some of the great films that this continent has produced:

1. An African Election (2011)

Democracy, we westerners never stop talking about it. When will it arrive in the developing world? we ask constantly. So here it is, in all its glory – depicting the political campaign and elections in Ghana. It’s a different kind of political documentary, it’s not agenda-driven, corruption-exposing or system-fighting, it’s a fly on the wall descriptive film that shows us democracy – African style. With a lot of vibrance, (over) enthusiasm, and mess and confusion. Ultimately, you’ll learn that democracy is the same everywhere – you make a lot of promises but nothing really gets done.

2. A Screaming Man (2010)

This story is set in Chad, about a father who has a good and stable job as a lifeguard at a luxurious hotel. Not only does he get fired and replaced by his son, when the civil war breaks, the rebel forces demand that he come fight with them – and he does not resist. Riddled with guilt, the father goes on a perilous journey to retrieve his son. It’s a sad and bleak film, but one that offers an unfiltered inside perspective into the African situation.

3. Aujourd’hui (2012)

This Senegalese film depicts last day in the life of Satché (Saul Williams), who returns home from America. He goes on an introspective journey through his past, and meets his old friends, his old flame, the wife and children he left behind, and prepares for his expected demise. There seems to be an outbreak of films that deal with the end of the world and how people spend their last moments, but this film does not over-analyze the situation, leaving you with a lot to think about, which is how I like my films.

4. Moolaadé (2004)

Rarely have I seen such a contrast between the subject matter and the mood of a film. This drama from Senegal, but set in Burkina Faso, deals with female circumcision and the fight of one village to end this inhumane tradition. Director Ousmane Sembene has crafted such a touching and understated film that never aims to shock. The matter-of-fact approach, the almost documentary feel is cliché-free, and never gets sappy or too emotional. The power of the film comes from its sincerity.

5.   Ezra (2007)

From one pleasant topic to another – child soldiers. This film by Nigerian born Newton I. Aduaka tells the story of one such child, from his kidnapping by rebel forces, through his brainwashing and the atrocities he committed, up to his arraignment before a tribunal. While there’s no subtlety in this film, the transformation of this child into a killer is an emotional roller coaster, from pity to hate, to sadness… I guess sometimes you don’t need subtext.

6. Tsotsi (2005)

This Oscar Winning crime drama from South Africa shows life in the urban ghetto of Johannesburg. A gang member kills a woman and hijacks her car only to find a baby in it. He starts to care for this infant and gets attached to him. Slowly but surely he begins to appreciate life. But this is not a sentimental film, it’s a pretty bleak film, but its pace and soundtrack will keep you captivated until the end.

7. Under African Skies (2012)

In 1986 Paul Simon released his most successful solo album – Graceland – a fusion of American and South African music styles. The problem was, this was the height of the Apartheid in South Africa, and Paul Simon was accused of breaking the cultural boycott. 25 Years later the legendary singer-songwriter returns to South Africa for a reunion concert, and talks about those turbulent times, along with the African musicians involved and other colleagues. It’s a great film, about friendship, breaking race barriers and music, not exclusively for Paul Simon fans.

8. White Material (2009)

Set in an unnamed African country this French-Cameroonian coproduction tells the story of a white French woman (Isabelle Huppert) caught in the middle of political unrest. Claire Denis, who is known for her special relation to the ‘Motherland’ crafts a sensitive film, that aptly depicts the complex relations between Blacks and Whites.

9. Battle of Algiers (1966)

While there’s a huge difference (and hostility) between black Africa and Arab Africa, their history is not that different. Gillo Pontecorvo’s Masterpiece reconstructs the Algerian War of Independence, their struggle to decolonize from France. It was a revolution that lasted nearly eight bloody years and took the life of some 700,000 people. The film’s strength lies in balanced and matter-of-fact approach, showing atrocities from both sides.

10. Un été à La Goulette (1996)

We’ll end on a bittersweet note – it’s the story of how, long ago, people from different religions, lived together in peace. Sounds like a fantasy, I know. The story takes place during the sixties in Tunisia, where three teenaged best friends - a Muslim, Jewish and Christian – swear to lose their virginity by a certain date. No, this is not American Pie 11, but a touching coming of age story about friendship and community. For me, the message of the film is that whether we like one another or hate one another is all a question of circumstance, so let’s make our circumstance better.

We are all creatures of habit, and the people heading Cannes Film Festival (and probably the most prestigious of them all) are not all that different, as evident from this year’s line-up, which includes many past winners. It’s also safe to say that the competition is more open this year, since the Festival’s favorite auteur of recent years, Michael Haneke (3 grand prizes in 11 years) is absent this time. Here are some choice repeat offenders, and a couple of hopefuls, we’ll be seeing this year:

Baz Luhrmann

The Australian director won a minor prize at Cannes in 1992 for the stylized romance Strictly Ballroom. More than 20 years later he returns with another film in the same vein, an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.

Sofia Coppola

Sofia Coppola won a prize in 2006 for Marie Antoinette, a film based on a true story, which centered around a strong female presence and featured an abundance of style and fashion. Fast forward 7 years and Ms. Coppola returns with The Bling Ring, a film based on a true story, centered on a strong female presence which features an abundance of style and fashion.

Nicolas Winding Refn

A brooding Ryan Gosling as a criminal hero already brought Winding Refn the grand prize in 2011 with the rough, L.A set, neo noir Drive, so why not repeat parts of the formula, only this time set the action in Thailand? Hopefully, Only God Forgives will not follow in the footsteps of The Hangover Part II and will manage to replicate its predecessor.

The Coen Brothers

With no less than three previous wins (Barton Fink, Fargo and The Man Who Wasn’t There) Ethan and Joel Coen are undoubtedly well liked on the French Riviera, so Inside Llewyn Davis, their gloomy musician’s life affair, will probably be warmly received.

Jim Jarmusch

Another multiple Cannes Winner (Stranger Than Paradise, Mystery Train, Broken Flowers and the short Coffee and Cigarettes III), Jarmusch returns to the festival with Only Lovers Left Alive, a film that looks like a diversion from his usual oeuvre, since it deals with vampires, but, come to think of it, he will most likely portray them like all his heroes, as quirky misfits.

Steven Soderbergh

It is fitting that Soderbergh, who won in 1989 with his debut Sex, Lies, and Videotape and helped usher in a new era of independent cinema, will screen Behind the Candelabra, his self-professed last film, in the same venue. Similarly to his first film, Soderbergh’s last one also deals with sexuality, although this time in a much flashier way.

Roman Polanski

Polanski has only one Cannes win, which came pretty late in his career, for the epic The Pianist. However, Venus in Fur, his entry for the competition this year, is a little more reminiscent of his latest film, Carnage, since it’s also based on a play and seems to have the same chamber drama qualities.

Paolo Sorrentino

With Il Divo, his Cannes winner from 2008, becoming unexpectedly topical since its subject, former Italian head of state Giulio Andreotti, passed away last week, Sorrentino’s La grande bellezza may not enjoy the same success, as it brings a different, more personal, view of life in Rome.

James Gray

Being in the competition three times (The Yards, We Own The Night and Two Lovers) and never winning, James Grey can only hope that fourth time is a charm. The fact that The Immigrant is a gloomy period piece certainly won’t hurt its chances.

François Ozon

Nominated only once, a decade ago, for Swimming Pool, French director Ozon should hope to benefit from a home court advantage (as some of his compatriots have in previous years), with Jeune et jolie, an episodic and contemplative tale of a young prostitute.

May is the Month of Music in New Zealand. We have also noticed a recent increase in films dealing with music – most notably, Quartet and A Late Quartet (don’t get mixed up between them – one is a feel good comedy and the other an introspective drama.) So we decided to dedicate this post to musical titles. But wait! Europe Day is just around the corner (May 9th), as well as our favorite campy song contest - the Eurovision Song Contest (May 18th.)

So with all due respect to New Zealand, we’re tweaking this post a little bit, and giving our ‘Douze Points’ to the following 10 European musical titles.

Little Voice (1998)
In this bittersweet comedy drama a shy small-town girl with an amazing voice is reluctantly pushed into showbiz by her domineering mother and the mother’s ambitious boyfriend. Michael Caine delivers a brilliant performance as the loathsome scout who pushes Little Voice to her limits.

Io, Don Giovanni (2009)
Everyone knows the great composer Mozart. but what about the people who worked with (and behind) this genius? This film focuses on the Italian lyricist Lorenzo Da Ponte, who collaborated with Mozart and wrote the libretto to the famous opera Don Giovanni. Director Carlos Saura uses a lush, stylized setting to picture the backstage intrigues of the period.

Le Concert (2009)
It’s not often we see a scene of almost 20 minutes of a classical music concert. Just music, nothing else. It happens in this film and unlike what one might think, it is absolutely fascinating and captivating. It may be true that the plot, revolving around a Russian orchestra coming to play in Paris, is a bit soap-opera-ish at times, but this remarkable scene and the likeable characters make this film a very worthy watch.

Vitus (2006)
In this engaging drama from Switzerland, a child prodigy finds a unique way of dealing with being different. Vitus is no normal child; with an IQ of 180, a huge appetite for knowledge, and a preternatural gift for playing the piano, he finds it hard to fit in with his peers. Like many parents of exceptional children, his parents are overbearing and eager to see their child succeed. Vitus feels he needs to find a way to be a child again.

La Vie en Rose (2007)
Marion Cottillard won an Oscar and became known to the American audiences for portraying Edith Piaf in this film. Piaf is a classic story of rising to stardom: born to poverty and having to practice prostitution, she managed to break through and become one of the most acclaimed and successful French chansonniers of all times.

Flamenco (1995)
This beautifully shot documentary deals with a style of music and dance unique to Spain – Flamenco. Using an old railroad station in Seville, fitted with mirrors for the unique setting, Carlos Saura (2nd time in this post) presents us with 300 singers, dancers and musicians. There are guitarists playing moving and mournful solos, women singing gypsy ballads and, of course, floor pounding and straight shouldered dancers who look right into the camera with those dark, smouldering, Spanish eyes. A must-see for flamenco fans.

The Chorus (2004)
The Chorus is an uplifting tale of a masterful teacher who put his heart into his work and changed the lives of his students forever. It takes place in a boarding school for troubled kids which is supervised by a very strict and difficult manager. All this changes when a new teacher arrives and manages to reach out to the children through music.

The Red Shoes (1948)
Honestly, I would not recommend this film to everyone. It is beautifully shot and has great dance sequences, but it was, after all, filmed over 60 years ago and contemporary viewers might find it too slow and overly sentimental. But this restriction vanishes completely if you have any affection or connection to ballet whatsoever, because for us ballet lovers it is simply a masterpiece.

Black Cat White Cat (1998)
Kusturica’s complex, darkly comic film centers around the lives of a handful of gypsies and hustlers living on the Danube river. The story focuses on a small time hustler dealing with a bunch of gangsters, while the unique gypsy music plays a vital part in portraying their lives.

Schultze gets the blues (2003)
A retired miner falls into a boring routine, playing his accordion in a folk band. All of this changes when one day he hears Zydeco on the radio – a Louisianan folk/blues music – and gets instantly smitten. He then decides to travel from Germany to Louisiana to hear his new favorite music in its original habitat.

I don’t have kids myself, and when I was asked to write a blog for Single Parents’ Appreciation Day, I was like ‘what the hell do they need appreciation for? One person seems enough to raise a kid. Why does this miniature creature really need two people taking care of it? You don’t want to spoil your child too early, and having two people prance around and cater to its every need seems to me like bad education.’ In spite of my little rant, my boss insisted, so here we are…

After doing a little research on the web, I found out that perhaps raising kids was not as simple as I initially thought (but probably not as hard as it’s being hyped.) As it turns out, Babies require a great deal of attention. You have to feed them every couple of hours, and change their diapers every couple of… (days?) But the most annoying and mind boggling thing I have learned about babies is that when they are tired, they don’t just fall asleep like regular people, they cry. What’s the deal. Dude?? You’re already lying down, all comfy in your cradle, just close your eyes and go to sleep. But do they listen? Of course not. So after I was shocked at how high maintenance babies really are, I conceded single parents may in fact need a day of appreciation, or even two. And here’s an even better idea: single parents should get this day off from parenting. My small contribution to all you single slaves is a list of some fine films and TV shows that portray these one-parent families. You probably wont have time to see them, but I don’t have a better idea for you (so just get a babysitter):

1. Mermaids (1990)

An eccentric and unpredictable single mom (Cher) relocates with her two daughters (Winona Rider and Christina Ricci) for the umpteenth time to a small New England town. The girls just want to settle down in one place for a change, but not everything happens as planned. This is a charming comedy, and a great chance to see the pre-stardom Rider and Ricci.

2. Tous le soleils (2011)

Stefano Accorsi is a different kind of single father. Since he lost his wife, he’s been uninterested in finding a new love, consecrating all of his time towards parenting and over-protecting his teenage daughter. So the daughter comes up with a solution that will both get her father of her back, and make him happy at the same time. She and his anarchist brother try and play matchmaker… and hilarity ensues. It’s a fun film that is sure to capture your heart.

3. Ladybird, Ladybird (1994)

This is not a fun film! If you want to see how hard single parents have it sometimes, go watch Ken Loach’s emotional drama. This is a true story that depicts the struggles of a woman deemed by the authorities as unfit for parenthood, trying to keep her family intact. It’s not an easy watch, and will probably make you cry, but it’s very sincere, letting the story and actors do the work, and without the sentimental manipulations one usually finds in stories of this kind.

4. 35 Shots of Rum  (2008)

A working class single dad trying to deal with his age and with his daughter’s new romantic relationship with a family friend is at the heart of this excellent and understated French drama by Claire Denis. In my book, the best films are not those that offer solutions, but those who accurately depict the problems, and this film does that with a lot of humanity.

5. Broken Wings (2002)

This drama from Israel doesn’t deal with the Arab-Israeli conflict for a change; instead, it focuses on a dysfunctional family’s trials and tribulations. The mother, a  widow (third widow in this post if you’re counting), works night shifts at a hospital. Her children’s reaction to their father’s death, coupled with the lack of parental supervision, threatens to dismantle the fragile family unit. The acting is great and the script is very poignant.

6. Better Off Ted (2009)

A single dad (Jay Harrington) working for a powerful corporation is the premise of this (sadly) short-lived sitcom. He is charming, his boss (Portia De Rossi) is heartless, and there’s the necessary workplace unfulfilled love interest (Andrea Anders). The show is very satirical of the corporate world, and that’s probably why it was shut down. Check it out, hopefully you’ll demand its return.

7. Cyrus (2010)

Offbeat filmmakers Jay and Mark Duplass tell the story of a relationship between lonely John (John C. Reilly) and single mom Molly (Marisa Tomei). Their relationship seems to be going well until her odd son (Jonah Hill) becomes jealous and develops a rivalry with his mom’s new boyfriend. It’s creepy and touching at the same time, with Hill providing the creepiness and Reilly the heart. Oh, and it’s funny as well.

8. Spy (2011)

I have not seen a parent suffering such abuse from his child until I saw this British comedy. Darren Boyd stars as a regular-to-goofy electronics equipment shop salesman who is a constant disappointment to his uptight-to-evil son (Jude Wright), until he gets a dream job as an MI5 agent. The only problem is, he can’t tell his son, and he has to continue being his punching bag. The abuse is hilarious and Boyd is pretty endearing. It’s a fun and wacky show.

9. Mother (2009)

When her not-so-sharp son is accused of murder, a determined middle-aged single mom goes on an investigation to find the killer. Joon-ho-Bong’s crime mystery is both a feast for the eyes and for the mind. With his unique style, great flair for suspense and backdoor kind of humor, the Korean director who made Memories of Murder and The Host has become one of my favorites. Here’s looking forward to The Host 2!

10. The Turin Horse (2011)

Being that this film is one of my favorite films in the past few years, I will find any excuse to write about it. A father and daughter live in an isolated farm in late 19th century Europe. What happens to them is a sort of allegory for the fate of humanity. This is a seriously philosophical and experimental film. It’s as slow as molasses and has very little dialogue; but if you let yourself become immersed in the amazing black and white visuals, and try to contemplate what it all means (there’s plenty of time for that), you will be rewarded. Before watching this make sure you have patience and time – two things single parents probably don’t have…

After taking a look at Facebook’s most Liked movies, we couldn’t help but notice how different these movies are from IMDb’s list of top 250, not to mention BFI’s (British Film Institute) list of top 50 films of all time (chosen by hundreds of international critics.)

Here’s our take on these three lists:

Facebook’s top 10 include: Harry Potter, Avatar, The Twilight Saga, Titanic, Shrek, Toy Story 3, Jackass 3, Fast & Furious, Transformers, and The Hangover.

Besides Titanic, all movies were made in the 2000’s; most of the movies are teen or family oriented, and about 40% of them are pretty much brainless (Twilight Saga, Jackass, Fast & Furious, Transformers… I’m excluding Avatar and Titanic just because I’m nice. Let’s say both of those movies have a brain, but it was lobotomized.)

IMDb’s top 10 include: The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, The Godfather 2, Pulp Fiction, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, 12 Angry Men, The Dark Knight, Schindler’s List, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and Fight Club.

Four of these movies were made during the 90’s, two in the 70’s, two in the 2000’s, one in the 60’s and one in the 50’s. All movies are critically acclaimed and are considered to be classics or modern classics (well, all of them besides The Dark Knight maybe.) Most of the movies in IMDb’s top 10 are testosterone driven American movies, which would be suitable for a boy’s night.

BFI’s top 10 include: Vertigo, Citizen Kane, Tokyo Story, The Rules of the Game, Sunrise, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Searchers, The Man with a Movie Camera, and The Passion of Joan of Arc, 8 1/2.

The most recent movie in BFI’s top 10 was made in 1968… Three more were made in the 50’s, three in the 1920’s(!), one in the 40’s, one in the 30’s and one more during the 60’s. Seven of these movies are B&W movies and six of them are foreign. The BFI guys would definitely shake their heads in disagreement while listening to Frank Sinatra’s song “the best is yet to come”, because they’re pretty sure the best has already happened, and it was a long, long time ago.

Places 11-20 in Facebook’s book include: Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Saw, Finding Nemo, Twilight, Step Up, 2012, Dirty Dancing, The Dark Knight, Paranormal Activity, and The Lion King.

Eight movies from the 2000’s, one from the 80’s and one from the 90’s. All ten are teen or family oriented and were made in the U.S. In risk of receiving death threats I’ll say that six of the ten are cinematic trash (garbage didn’t sound appropriate), some of them are fun trash, but trash nonetheless (Pirates of the Caribbean, Saw, Twilight, Step Up, 2012 and Paranormal Activity. There’s a whole lot of trash and a bit of fun in these brackets.)

Places 11-20 in IMDb’s list include: Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Inception, Goodfellas, Star Wars, Seven Samurai, Forrest Gump, The Matrix, and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

Three movies are from the 2000’s and three from the 90’s, two are from the 70’s, one is from the 80’s and another one is from the 50’s. Once again, IMDb’s top movies continue the trend of highly acclaimed movies which are more boys/men oriented, while this time also showcasing a bit more Sci-Fi and a little less criminal intent.

Places 11-20 in BFI’s list include: Battleship Potemkin, L’Atalante, Breathless, Apocalypse Now, Late Spring, Au hasard Balthazar, Seven Samurai, Persona, The Mirror, and Singin’ in the Rain.

These are very old movies, most of them B&W; eight are foreign movies and none were made during the past 35 years. May I remind you this list was comprised in 2012?

If I had to put a face to each list, Facebook’s list seems like it was made by a young hysterical girl with a real passion for reading (tweets.) Miley Cyrus could have written it with the help of her younger brother (if she has one.)

IMDb’s list seems compatible with a male American film enthusiast; someone like Quentin Tarantino.

And I guess that the face that’s most suitable to represent BFI’s list is that of a European film connoisseur (French no doubt) over the age of 80; let’s say Jean-Luc Godard.

To sum it up, BFI’s opinion is that cinema’s golden age ended back when Moses still wore short pants, and that good movies are eternal, even if they were made in the 1920’s and didn’t include color, or a spoken voice; Most Facebook users probably think that a movie can’t be good if it doesn’t include robots, zombies and/or vampires, and even then, it might be good only if it was made after the year 2000 of course; Preferably after the year 2010. And so, I think that IMDb is the voice of reason in this instance (at least when compared with the other two lists), including great movies that were made in the past, along with great movies that are still being made today.

So, why not end on a positive note, and just say hooray for (good) movies!
