  The spiritual godfather of all the youth-related nihilist cinema of the past 40 years.

  Growing Up 1983

  ★★★★ Watched 03 May 2016 2

  Reminds of later films by Hsiao-Hsien and Edward Yang in its time-period of the 50's, its focus on youth and its key theme of conflict between the residents and the Chinese immigrants. A truly nostalgic movie, with work by many collaborators of those great directors. It won the Taiwan Oscar for Best film and Best director.

  The Smiling Lieutenant 1931

  ★★★★★ Watched 19 Apr 2016 2

  This is one of the funniest films you'll ever see. Much of the humor is laden with innuendo though so I'm not sure if every will get it. But thankfully there's a lot else to like about it as well, such as the lovely musical numbers, beautiful photography and wonderful performances. Chevalier was a genius!
