What incensed him the most was the blatant jokes of the ones that passed it all off as a jest, pretending to understand everything and in reality not knowing their own minds

James and Em Foster are enjoying an all-inclusive beach vacation in the fictional island of La Tolqa, when a fatal accident exposes the resort's perverse subculture of hedonistic tourism, reckless violence and surreal horrors.

Love is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another's soul

Kurosawa: A Complete Film Season

Film

Skool

A trailer for the British Film Institute's upcoming season of Akira Kurosawa films, including Seven Samarai, Throne of Blood and Rashomon, which runs January - February 2023.

“The term 'giant' is used too often to describe artists. But in the case of Akira Kurosawa, we have one of the rare instances where the term fits.’ – Martin Scorsese

 Like a gathering storm, much of Kurosawa’s cinema begins with a portent of the turbulence to come. But within his work lay a poetry – both in his visual style and the depth of his characters – and a fascinating exploration of Japanese culture past and present. And throughout, from his startlingly assured first feature Sanshiro Sugata (1943) to the ruminative and often humorous tone of his last, Mâdadayo (1993), the thoughts and actions of his characters, and the changes unfolding in the societies they live in, were reflected in the elements. The climate plays a key role within all of Kurosawa’s work. But there are also a variety of themes that run through his dramas. Rather than journey through his work chronologically, this season breaks up his filmography into six themes. All are indivisible, but by focussing on specific elements within each film it is hoped that Kurosawa’s brilliance will shine even brighter.

8 Years

Film

Skool

Jose and David (Miguel Diosdado and Carlos Mestanza) were in love. For seven years, their romance grew and blossomed, through highs and lows - before they ultimately faltered and broke up. Now, after not seeing each other for a very long time, they decide to meet at the spot they first fell in love - the picturesque La Palma Island - to see if they can reignite the passion both so sorely miss.

A searing romantic paean to the enduring nature of love, the bonds we create and the sometimes thorny road we take in rekindling what was lost, 8 Years is a gorgeously rendered story of two men who simply want to reconnect.

His soul swooned softly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead
