DOWNLOADED tells the story of Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker, the guys behind the internet phenomenon known as Napster. This is a story told from their point of view, this is their story and it’s an interesting one to be told. Most of us who have been internet users for many years will be very … Continue reading

![[RRFF ’13] Gentlemen Of Fortune (2012) by Bea Harper](https://supermarcey.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/gentlemen20124-425x287.jpg?w=160&h=120&crop=1 "[RRFF ’13] Gentlemen Of Fortune (2012) by Bea Harper")
Authors Note: First, my apologies- this review was meant to be submitted at an earlier date, just so you know, I feel like a total horse’s arse because this movie has quickly become one of my favourite foreign comedies and it enforces the fact I’m a lousy contributor. The original “Gentlemen of Fortune” was another … Continue reading

A Long And Happy Life might be the title of the film, but it is certainly misleading and purposely so. I think the title is about the longing for a happy life, which is what I feel our main character Sasha (Aleksandr Yatsenko) wants. He’s moved to rural Russia hoping for that long and happy … Continue reading

Mini Review: Journal de France Directors: Raymond Depardon, Claudine Nougaret | Documentary | 100 mins | 2012 | PG I absolutely love documentaries; I will watch them whether or not I know anything about the subject. A sign of a good documentary is one that engages the audience and provides an interesting story to tell. … Continue reading

Going into Yossi, I actually had no idea it was a sequel to Eytan Fox’s 2003 film Yossi & Jagger. I have not seen that film, but I did read what it was about and I really feel the need to check that out. Yossi brings back lead actor Ohad Knoller, now having not seen … Continue reading
![[JIFF ’12] Sharqiya (2012) by Bea Harper](https://supermarcey.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/jiff-02.jpg?w=160&h=120&crop=1 "[JIFF ’12] Sharqiya (2012) by Bea Harper")
Humans want it all – respect, love, money, connection, security, the essential and the superfluous – everything we do all comes back to the concept of obtaining something we desire, something that we can display proudly and call our own. In “Sharqiya”‘s case, young Kamel desires an identity, something that will be forever his and … Continue reading

Imagine sitting across from the parent of whose child has murdered yours. What could you say? Would you let loose your emotions or would you stare back at them at equal loss for words? This is but one provocative question that applies to the old saying- there are two sides to every story, but in … Continue reading

Absent (Ausente) is a film that kind of lives up to its title on the surface but when one digs deeper, it is anything but. I have to say I found this Argentinean effort to be quite interesting and it took me off guard. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from it, and the … Continue reading
![[MQFF ’12] Ballroom Rules (2012)](https://supermarcey.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ballroomrules1.jpg?w=160&h=120&crop=1 "[MQFF ’12] Ballroom Rules (2012)")
Ballroom Rules is an Australian documentary about same-sex ballroom dancing, and it follows several couples as they prepare and then compete at the Gay Games in Germany (2010). It is really great to see homegrown documentaries and this was such a great surprise. Ballroom dancing probably showed up on a lot of radar’s here after … Continue reading

Judging by the title of this documentary, subject matter is pretty obvious, it follows the journey of Chaz Bono (formally Chasity, the offspring of Sonny and Cher) as he makes the transition into the self he always knew he was meant to be. It is a very interesting documentary, and it certainly does not hold … Continue reading

I have seen a lot of films about war, but nothing quite compares to Armadillo. Most films of the sort seem to have some kind of agenda, and don’t quite show all the sides to what is going on. Armadillo is a documentary, its only agenda is to give you a first hand look at … Continue reading
