Savage Roses (2002)
Very pleasant surprise.
I found this movie through lesbianalliance (It was called Savage Roses) and it looked interesting so I checked the website where I found it is now called Locas 4 Life (I don't know why). Anyway, When I saw it played in the New York and San Francisco G&L film festivals I really wanted to check it out. After watching it I checked the IMDB user comments and found it interesting how strongly mixed they are. I do understand why...the filmmaking shows a tiny budget and the shot on video look can be very distracting. However, I did think the acting was great...great in that the girls were very raw and believable. It matched well with the raw way the film was shot. What makes this film stand out to me is that it is really an unusual take on a low-budget lesbian film...I've seen enough Claire of the Moon types and enough Kissing Jessica Stein types...It was very refreshing to see something diffrent...I'm not really into "urabn gang" type films but by the end of this movie I did find all the gang girls very charming and very funny. Obviously these people had little to no money to make this film but in the end I liked it more than many high bidget pictures. And the main character stayed in my head afterwards and i couldn't get her out. A very unique take on a girl/girl love story.
Lola rennt (1998)
Such a cool movie!
I love Franka...she is so good in this movie. From the soundtrack to the amazing energy this is just one of the coolest films I have ever seen. Great pacing, great acting...all around terrific movie. Highly recommended!
