Das Experiment (2001)
Disturbing Film
So ok, there were points where the film failed to deliver like what is the purpose of the experiment and the subplot of Prisoner 77 and his love interest ? However, beyond that, it was a movie that got me feeling stressed and yet riveted at the same time. I was wondering the real possibility of it happening to all of us should we be thrown into such a situation, and I think it is here that the film succeeds. This film blurs the line between film fiction and life reality.
I have not seen such an intense film in a long while, and I found myself looking at my watch for the ending - not so much because I was bored, but because I was feeling the exact emotions as the characters in the film - namely, stress, claustrophobia, fear... Great movie.
Na shan na ren na gou (1999)
A gem of a film
Several months after seeing this film, it still has an impact on me. I can visualise the scene where the son piggy-backs the father across the river, the scene where the son reads the letter to the old lady etc. So little is said in this film, but it is pregnant with meaning. It has been a long time since a film touched me so deeply.
