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.
