Note de trgusa
I watched Trail of the Pink Panther again, 1982, a pieced-together story and tribute to Peter Sellers made 2 years after his death in 1980. I forgot what wonderful messes Sellers could create out of a simple room and pure innovative genius. Much of his work was spontaneous.
Peter Sellers died at age 56 of a heart attack July 24, 1980, he was schedule for corrective surgery that month. His only son, Michael, died of a heart attack at age 52, July 24, 2006, 26 years to the day from his father's death. He also was scheduled for corrective surgery that month.
Peter Sellers lives on, and I have ordered all of his Panther movies (ending in 1982), and "The Party" too. I got Trail of... because Joanna Lumley (from Ab Fab) was in it, at the tender age of 35. My sides still hurt from some of the never before stock footage they showed... and those looking for some meaningful plot or logic, have missed the point altogether...
Classic laughter.

Vier Minuten left me admiring a young actress, respecting our cultural achievements, and pondering freedom and what part music and literature plays in dividing us from the animal kingdom. Yes, I think this movie is a statement of cultural development in relationship to physical, mental, and emotional stress, anger, hatred, cruelty, and violence.
That is the Conflict theory of social progress.
It reminds me of all the rebellious youth who had something shocking, abrasive, antisocial, and yet astonishing to say in a new format. Hail, hail, rock and roll, Hip-Hop, Punk, Goth, New Wave, Rap, Swing, Jive, Big Band, and even Classical. We have come a long way since the days of Turlough O'Carolan or Steven Foster.
The plot is not as simple as you might think. Two women, both gifted, both abused and injured as youths, both driven. A father seeking redemption at the end of his life... a vast array of opponents meaning to deter hope and subdue expression. Movies have been built on oppression and hardship for a long time. It makes for a great story (like Purple Rain, for example).
Beauty and the beast... continuance, salvation, rebirth, dignity... you could ponder the factors of this movie for some time. The music itself is meant only to be representative, not sterling, and you must remember the settings. I found the opening hard rock song of the piano being transported to the prison absolutely fantastic, and the finale innovative, and yet reminiscent of the "Acid Freak Concerts" of the late 60s, oddly enough. Listen to The Rolling Stones - "Their Satanic Majesties Request", 1967. Maybe they even used the same piano and the strings in the same way. However, I won't tell you how this one ends....
Nevertheless, make no mistake: Hannah Herzsprung's performance throughout the movie is absolutely stunning, for lack of a better word. You will not forget it.
I had a great deal of trouble tracking down a copy of this movie, since DVD copies are hard to find. In the end, I was really glad I took the time, and now, I am tracking down the CD soundtrack as well... yes, I think it is well worth seeing the movie, and owning the music too.
If it only reminds us how to curtsey, and rebel at the same time....

Sporting a potpourri of vignettes overstating the relevance and importance of food in relationship to life, death, love, duty and sensuality, Tampopo runs the plot like a thin ribbon through them all, creating a charming, and sometime disturbing comedy of unique character.
Some have called this no longer available film the "first Japanese Noodle Western", although that may be debatable. Several men gather around a widower to help her to create the best noodles, or noodle soup, in Japan, hence ensuring her future in a tough market. Will she succeed? What if she does?
The charm of this movie is in its innovations, the fresh faces, the clarity of the scenes, the richness of the backgrounds. Call it a satire, call it parody, call it obsessive at times... but nevertheless, it is unforgettable, however weak the plot is, and however faint some of the "acting" may be. It is all tongue in cheek, ha ha...
VHS format is hard to find now, and DVDs are prized, so if you get a chance to get this movie, at least see it once... it's a real treat.
