Machuca
(Region 4 DVD)
A semi-autobiographical account of the tragic
events of Chile's 1973 coup seen through the eyes
of two 11-year-old boys. Gonzalo Infante lives
with his well-to-do family in a suburb of Santiago.
His new classmate, Pedro Machuca, lives in a recently
created illegal shantytown a few blocks away with
his cousin, Silvana. There is a huge wall--economic
and psychological--dividing their two worlds,
a wall that Father McEnroe, a progressive American
priest and the new headmaster at Gonzalo's private
school, wants to tear down.
2046
(DVD Region 4)
An evocative and beautiful film, 2046 follows the affairs of an out-of-work journalist
and pulp fiction writer, Chow Mo Wan (Tony Leung), who commits himself to a series
of liaisons after an unfulfilled affair when his true love leaves him heart-broken.
Passionate moments with a beautiful call girl (Zhang ZiYi), his landlord's daughter
(Faye Wong) and a professional gambler (Gong Li) are no cure for his solace and
Chow's obsession is diverted to his science fiction novel about a hi-tech train
that transports people to the year 2046 to reclaim their lost memories.
