Your Name Engraved Herein (2020) – A film by Kuang Hui Liu – Edward Chen, Jing Hua Tseng, Fabio Grangeon, David Hao-Chi Chiu, Leon Dai, Jason Wang, Jean-François Blanchard (Download the movie)
Based on real events, "Your Name Engraved Herein" depicts a love story that starts in 1987 between two high school students in Taiwan. One tries to confess his sexuality to his priest, but receives no blessing. The other hides his feelings and eventually settles down with a woman. The story then jumps 20 years forward, to Canada, where a quiet revolution is underway and the two lovers can finally reveal their true feelings. "Call Me by Your Name" (2017) meets "Maurice" (1987). "Your Name Engraved Herein" resonates the rites of passage of LGBTQ rights in Taiwan. ✻ The Taiwanese LGTB love drama "Your Name Engraved Herein" opens with the popular quotation from The Song of Solomon 8:7 about the power of love that can neither be quenched by water, nor drowned by the floods: "If a man would give all the substance of his house for […]

In the Name of (2013) – A film by Małgorzata Szumowska – Andrzej Chyra, Mateusz Kosciukiewicz, Maria Maj, Maja Ostaszewska, Lukasz Simlat, Tomasz Schuchardt (Download the movie)
Adam is a Catholic priest who discovered his calling as a servant of God at the relatively late age of 21. He now lives in a village in rural Poland where he works with teenagers with behavioral problems who fight and yell abuse. He declines the advances of a young blonde named Ewa, saying he is already spoken for. However, celibacy is not the only reason for his rejection. Adam knows that he desires men and that his embrace of the priesthood has been a flight from his own sexuality. When he meets Lukasz, the strange and taciturn son of a simple rural family, Adam's self-imposed abstinence becomes a heavy burden.Source: filmmovement.com"Magnetic!

1985 (2018) – A film by Yen Tan – Cory Michael Smith, Virginia Madsen, Michael Chiklis, Jamie Chung (Download the movie)
A sensitive drama that slowly builds in power, "1985" feels like a missing minor classic from the decade that preceded the rise of the so-called New Queer Cinema, when independent filmmakers had to struggle to cobble together budgets that let them tell their stories in the form of modest art house movies. Although it builds on decades of similar movies, this tale of a young gay New Yorker (Cory Michael Smith of TV's "Gotham") who comes home to North Texas at Christmastime never plays like an exercise in stylistic mimicry. It feels immediate and rings true, thanks to the performances of its lead actors, and the storytelling of director Yen Tan and his co-writer, co-editor, and cinematographer, the single-named Hutch.Hutch's Super 16mm photography – with its pointillistic film grain dancing beneath the characters and their environments – instantly situates the viewer in 1985. This is how low-budget art house movies […]

Border (2018) – A film by Ali Abbasi – Eva Melander, Eero Milonoff, Jörgen Thorsson, Sten Ljunggren, Ann Petrén (Download the movie)
Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes Border. A thematically rich and deeply strange blend of romantic drama, magical-realist fantasy, and crime thriller, Sweden's official entry to this year's Academy Awards splits the difference between the highbrow cringe comedy of Toni Erdmann and the lowbrow cop fantasy Bright. The tone is more consistent with the former, or perhaps the banal surrealism of Quentin Dupieux's 2012 film, Wrong. The world-building undeniably evokes the latter, albeit a much better-written and more thoughtfully executed version. The title of Border not only refers to the literal checkpoint where the story begins, but also the boundaries between human and inhuman, right and wrong, and duty and desire...✻Border (Swedish: Gräns) is a 2018 Swedish fantasy film directed by Ali Abbasi with a screenplay by Abbasi, Isabella Eklöf and John Ajvide Lindqvist based on the short story of the same name by Ajvide Lindqvist […]
