Min far er bokser (My Dad Is a Champ) is a short film directed by Morten Giese. What drew me initially to this Scandinavian short film was the fact that Frederik Christian Johansen stars in it. You may remember Frederik Christian Johansen from my review of En som Hodder. He made a huge impression on me in that film and his performance in “Min far er bokser” only confirmed my firm affirmation of his talent and acting skills.
In the film, Frederik Christian Johansen plays Stefan – a ten year old boy who practices boxing, following in the footsteps of his father who, as far as he knows, is a boxing champion who competes on the international stage and travels almost all the time. The passion of Stephen reminded me of myself doing handball – playing at the same position my dad did when he was competing. Stephen’s case however is a bit different – as he hasn’t seen his father in years. On his tenth birthday, Stefan doesn’t get the usual package in the mail from his father and he decides to go find him. Will he succeed in his quest? What would his father say?
The cinematography of “Min far er bokser” has a different style than the one typical for many Scandinavian films. Instead of vivid colors, the director decided to use more subtle ones, with a lot of shadows. The story has been done before (I can think of at least several things sharing a similar plot) – yet however feels distinct to the film. While I was watching it, my eyes filled with tears in one of the final scenes – and that’s a clear signal that the movie evoked emotions in me – which on its own means that it must be good. If you have the chance to see this short film (25 minutes) – do it – I highly recommend it .
I am really excited about the review of the new Russian film Ласковый Май ( Gentle May), as it is a movie that combines both of my passions – coming of age films and great, uplifting treble music. The movie in question focuses on the creation of the group Ласковый Май in which boys who came out of childrens’ homes (orphans) became one of the best bands in Russia. This happened thanks to their talent and the amazing lyrics written by the poet and musician Sergei Kuznetsov, who at that time worked as a teacher of music in the same Orenburg orphanage. The group was formed on Dec. 6, 1986 by him and the young soloist Yuri Shatunov – only thirteen years old at that time.
Before continuing with the review of the film I would like to honor Sergei Kuznetsov – who over the years helped many people to realize their dreams. I have written several times about projects of his such as Steklovata, Alis and Chernila dlya pyatogo klassa. You can visit his official site where you can find a lot of information about his projects and his art works – such as poems and prose .
Back to the film — I found it really enjoyable and loved every minute of it. The cinematography is quite modern and the plot easy to follow. There are many comical scenes, many inspirational and, my favorite of all, those featuring music. The young cast is talented and well directed which influenced the film quality greatly. Admittingly, as someone who has seen a lot of Russian films – I must note that the style of directing for “Ласковый Май ” is quite different from some such as “Ivanovo detstvo” or “Koktabel”.
Even if the film is enjoyable – it doesn’t have the artful value which I typically associate with the Russian cinema. What’s more, Sergei Kuznetsov said that he liked the story, but at times he departed from the true story of the group creation and success. Yet, I am sure that many people who are unaware of this departure from the real story (which, by the way, is available in writing at Sergey’s site) would enjoy the story the way it is told in the film.
I viewed the film in Russian, but I’m sure that versions in other languages will soon be available. What I am hoping for is that many people will see it, will listen to the wonderful Russian music and eventually may decide to help Sergei Kuznetsov — who has never stopped creating wonderful music. Most of the time he distributes that music for free , but you may decide to support him and his studio by donating or getting some exclusive materials as described at his site. That would made a difference in the lives of many young people – who love the music and want to be part of its creation.
Finally, I have decided to include an original concert recording of the group Ласковый Май performing back in the 90s. I know that if you like it as much as I do- you will find a way to see the film as well.
And before checking out the usual film screenshots – here is an original photo of Ласковый Май :
After seeing the Spanish film “Cobrades” yesterday – I felt that I need to write more on the theme of violence at schools and cruelty in general. Some of the scenes from Cobrades showed how some beating scenes were videotaped with the mobile phones of the students. Then these clips spread around – either uploaded to some video site or sold to other students – that practice is becoming fashionable these days as confirmed by the Ukrainian documentary ” Gene of cruelty ” ( Ген жестокости) – on which I am going to focus this review.
In terms of cinematography ” Gene of cruelty” won`t offer you something innovative – it follows the documentary templates which include sharing of several real life stories, combined with extra footage and interviews with several scholars and a focus group consisting of young children aged 6 to 20. What makes this documentary different from the rest is the usage of a lot of visual art to demonstrate the nature of cruelty and violence, mostly by displaying drawings of children and attempting a psychological analysis of them.
One of the explanations of child cruelty in the documentary are the films and the video games. Nothing new – you would say – yes that has been said many times before – but after a controlled experiment, it was proven that the reason behind the violence is the fact that, surrounded by so much violence from TV and films – it becomes harder for the child to feel for or care for others. Another possible explanation was that now-a-days many kids spend a lot of time online and in front of the TV screen instead of being out playing with people from their own age group. A reason for this often is that various activities such as dancing, skating, boxing, attending the swimming pool – are usually very expensive, often unaffordable for the kids’ parents.
I think that Gene of cruelty, while not being original, is a good documentary and, if you are interested in psychology or involved in some social projects, you will benefit from seeing it. As of the moment the film is only available in the Russian language.
Cavka is a film from the former Republic of Yugoslavia which shows the struggle of two boys, from different backgrounds, to become friends — regardless of the social expectations which their parents and teachers have prepared for them. Slobodan Negic plays one of the lead roles as a smart kid – who is expected to perform up to the demanding expectations of his father. His opposite number is the homeless, orphaned Cavka , portrayed by Marko Ratic.
After seeing the initial scenes, which were quite lyrical and melancholic, I more or less was able to get into the mood of the film. It reminded me of Warden of the Dead – which is another East European film I saw recently. Unlike it, however, Chavka focused on the friendship between the two boys – a friendship which develops throughout the film.
There are a lot of philosophical references in the film – from the feelings of the parents towards their kids, of the kids towards their peers and of the adults towards each other. I would not be surprised if Cavka finds its way in some of the Social Studies or Physiology studies in some schools, as it provides good possibilities for analysis. Throughout the film, I was not really able to associate the characters or the events on screen to my own experience – up until the last scene when the school psychologist speaks with one of the boys after the departure of his friend. I was deeply moved by her words and decided to quote them in this review – so even if you don’t have the chance to see the film you can read them :
“Life consists, among other things, of successes and failures. Failure is as equally an important part of life as success is. The one who can’t comprehend is in danger of being miserable often and long lasting. Your friendship with Cavka is your big success, as is his with you. lt is a success to reach a big, nice, impassive friendship.
And you reached it.
Cavka’s leaving is not your failure. lt is a failure of us grown ups, of the whole society. Unfortunately, you are the only one to percieve it as failure, because society is impersonal, and friendship is personal.
And your loss is quite personal. So, Cavka’s leaving is not your failure, but your loss, and we must face losses because they are part of our lives. Soon… “
Generally speaking, I hesitate to recommend the film as it gets a little odd at times and most likely many viewers would get bored at one time or another. I know I did – even though there were several good scenes – the rest felt a bit dull and depressing . Yet the young leads deliver good performances as does the rest of the cast. So if you decide to give it a shot – let me know what you thought of it after seeing it.
Once you make an award winning short film – are you going to keep on and make another one ? The answer to this question is Yes for Luke Snellin, whose name you may remember from my review of his previous film ” Mixtape ” . Luke Snellin’s new film is called Patrick and it deals with issues such as violence at school ( read bullying ) and the dreams of a young boy to get away from and/or deal with it.
The film already has had several screenings at festivals during the year and gathered quite a few awards. The response from the festival screenings was so good that it is planned to adapt Patrick into a feature film in 2010. The young Matthew Shanfari -who is cast in the leading role in “Patrick” – has some acting experience and talent which could not be missed by the audience. The film`s director setup quite a nice blog to promote his film ( on which you can also find out insights of its shooting and of the shooting of Mixtape ) and you should definitely pay it a visit.
While my impressions from the 11 minutes long ” Patrick ” are based solely on the trailer that is available online – I think that the cinematography of the film seems quite decent and I can`t wait for my chance to see all of it.
It all started with a book I stumbled upon today – “Le petit Nicolas” by René Goscinny. I found the book rather accidentally, but five minutes after I started reading it I was laughing aloud and have become a fan of Nicolas and the unique humor of René Goscinny. The book consists of a series of short stories describing the adventures of a little French boy -and all of them told in the first person by Nicolas himself. (I actually sent an enthusiastic tweet just a few minutes after discovering the book).
I loved the book for several reasons. Not only was the humor amazing , but I was able to identify with Nicolas and look at the world through his eyes – which resulted in me remembering many wonderful moments from my own childhood. So here I am laughing , day dreaming – thinking that if someone were to make a film out of these stories, it would be a good move. So I get home, launch Google to do some research on the book and its author ( who also happened to be an Amazing illustrator – Lucky Luke, Astérix) and wow – I discovered that there IS a movie and this movie was just released ( 30th of September 2009) in the French cinemas .
This discovery excited me greatly, and here I am introducing the book and the new French film Le petit Nicolas :
Admittedly, I don’t know much about the film. But from its trailers on YouTube ( it has several), I think that it is a very good one – which will eventually have its own review one day on my blog. Well, my French is not good – yet the official site of the film is full of media and information. On top of that, it has an amazing design and functionality. Check it out !
You can also watch one of the amazing trailers, below. You should be able to get most things – even without knowing French :
“You Are Not Alone” is a true coming of age-movie, a classic, and a must see”
A poignant and wonderful movie.
Much has been said and written about the acclaimed Danish film “Du er ikke alene” (You Are Not Alone). For fans of the coming of age genre, ” You Are Not Alone ” is what ” Star Wars ” is for the sci-fi fans. Lasse Nielsen, who directed the film back in 1978, agreed to give an exclusive interview for theskykid.com and its readers.
theskykid.com: “You Are Not Alone” became a classic of the coming of age genre. Did you envision the popularity of the film when its shooting was done?
Lasse Nielsen: No, I never dreamed that “You Are Not Alone” would become a classic or a cult film of any kind. Maybe because I make films with my heart and not my head. For me, making movies are a necessary expression and not a calculated profession.
theskykid.com: How difficult it was to cast and find two young actors who worked together so well and were willing to do the part?
Lasse Nielsen: We cast Bo very quickly, but Kim was more difficult. We did screen tests for over 100 boys – but either the look wasn’t right or their acting was poor. Just a few weeks before filming began, my co-writer – the psychologist Bent Petersen – recommended the 12-year-old son of a fellow psychologist. When this boy Peter walked into the studio, I knew at once that this was the boy we were looking for. Actually, when we first saw him his hair was so long that we had to order a haircut so we could see his face!
theskykid.com: What was the public reaction to the film when it came out?
Lasse Nielsen: The reaction was somewhat mixed, but on the whole it was positive. The Danish film censors classified the film as “forbidden for children under 12,” believing that younger children would not understand the homosexual theme. But some years later, this restriction was officially removed
theskykid.com : How was your film received in other countries? Was the film ever banned or not respected in some parts of the world?
Lasse Nielsen : To the best of my knowledge the movie was never banned. It was shown in major film festivals in Italy, Germany, and Holland, but never widely released outside Scandinavia. In the U.S.A. it was released on video (one of Award Films’ best-sellers) and it continues to sell well on DVD.
theskykid.com : The sexual themes in “You Are Not Alone” is very innocent and daring. Do you think we have progressed over the years to a more honest approach to the subject in cinema?
Lasse Nielsen: I wanted to make a film about boys in a boarding school, and their honest feelings. I attended a boarding school myself, so it wasn’t difficult to write the story. At the time, I actually wasn’t aware that “You Are Not Alone” was the first Danish film to show a love story between two boys. In these 31 years since making the film, I’ve had many letters – especially from young boys and girls – telling me how much the movie meant to them – how much better they felt about themselves after seeing the film. Since that time, there have been a number of Danish films dealing with homosexuality, but generally the gay relationship is somehow troubled and unhappy. Often one of the partners dies. In any case, there are few “happy endings!”
theskykid.com: Was the long kissing scene in “You Are Not Alone” always planned to be the end of the film? or was it a last-minute change?
Lasse Nielsen: No. We actually shot more scenes after the parent’s night film screening, where Kim runs out of the room after being scolded by his father. Bo and Kim meet down in their secret spot in the woods. Unfortunately, however, that scene turned out too dark and we didn’t have enough money left in our budget to re-shoot. So the new ending was created in the editing room. But of course, it was always meant to be a happy ending!
theskykid.com : Do you think that the attitudes towards young teen gays have changed since the film was made?
Lasse Nielsen : Yes, I think so. In many ways, there is more tolerance. On YouTube, for example, you can see many young boys “coming out” as gay. And – at least in Denmark – parents are becoming more accepting. I’m not sure there has been much progress in U.S.A. however, where many young gay teenagers are still driven to suicide because of general and specific social harassment.
theskykid.com: You are not alone has a beautiful theme song. Who chose it? Did someone talk to Sebastian and then he wrote the song according to the film content or did he came with songs to chose?
Lasse Nielsen: I had worked with the Danish composer/singer Sebastian on my previous feature, “Maybe We can.” When I sent him the script for “You Are Not Alone” he was very impressed, and he began to write songs for the film even before we started shooting. I remember the night he called me on the phone and played the theme song for me. I sat there crying because the song was so perfect for the mood of the movie I had in mind. Sebastian has since become one of Denmark’s leading popular composers. He also wrote songs for several musicals that are performed frequently throughout Scandinavia. He is also famous for writing new music for the lyrics of the German playwright Bertolt Brecht.
theskykid.com : Do you think the film could be made today, is so why?
Lasse Nielsen : No, I don’t believe the film could be made today. We have an unfortunate situation of self-censorship these days.
theskykid.com : As this site mainly focuses on coming of age films, it would be interesting to know if you have a favorite coming of age film that you can recommend to the people reading this interview?
Lasse Nielsen: The films of Francois Truffaut are outstanding, and have been very inspiring for me. In my latest film, “The Story of Net,” I used Vivaldi’s music – much like Truffaut did in “The Wild Child.” Other coming-of-age movies I like are “The 400 Blows,” “The Man Without a Face,” “Streetwise,” “Young Aphrodites,” and “Nobody Knows.”
theskykid.com : Is there anyone you want to add ?
Lasse Nielsen: My new film, “The Story of Net,” has taken three years to complete, and has probably been the most difficult film for me to make. That’s because I was solely responsible for the writing, directing, casting, editing – and even the catering! It was a wonderful experience, however, working with a group of enthusiastic amateurs in Thailand. A number of Thai people who have seen the movie have told me that the acting is on par with what any professional Thai actors could do!
“The Story of Net” is focused on the experiences of one 12-year-old Thai boy. But I believe that children anywhere in the world will be able to identify with this boy. I strongly believe that the feelings of children are universal.
Special thanks to everyone who contributed to this interview by sending me questions and/or discussing it with me.
Special thanks to Lasse for his informative and interesting answers. Hope that you like the interview, pals – let me know in the comments section below.
Ever since Bill Milner appeared in the Son of Rambow – his acting talent earned him worldwide recognition as one of the best young actors. Of course, that affected my blog too – where you can read several articles in which his name is mentioned. It seems that Bill fancies appearing in short movies – as after his appearance in Pop Art he appeared in another short flick called Mixtape which inspired this post.
Mixtape tells the story of Ben (Bill Milner), who prepares a special gift for the girl next door ( whom he likes – you can tell by his nervousness when speaking with her Mom). Speaking of short movies – Mixtape can make you reconsider your idea of short (it did mine) as it runs for about 120 seconds. Yet I found it quite moody – like I saw it , smiled and felt like dancing! That’s quite an achievement for such a limited exposure – and it’s the talent of Bill, the cuteness of the girl he likes (Charlotte Beaumont) and the bittersweet story – brought together by the promising young director, Luke Snellin, who shot the film just in one day on a very tight budget.
I really wish I was able to see Mixtape on the big screen – that ln itself must be quite an experience – but in the meantime you can see it below :
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f12fn2rBkwQ
Mixtape won the best short film award at the Virgin Media Awards Ceremony
check out the Bill Millner Central – the best site dedicated to him I was able to find online
Even if I watch and review a lot of films – sometimes I stumble upon a title or an actor which are well known to the general audience – yet unknown to me. That is the case with the seemingly famous actor Andrew Mason – who I saw for a very first time only a few minutes ago while watching a short film called ” The Pilot’s Tale”, in which he is the main protagonist. Andrew starred in films back in the 80s – and just like Barret Oliver – is not well known to me as back then I must have been too young to watch anything but Sesame Street …
The film itself is not perfect (my opinion – despite its festival awards). My first thought is that the dialog scenes are a bit static – reminding me of a theatrical performance. On the positive side – the wonderful soundtrack by Jim Cooper compensates for that – and alongside it the lyrics of the songs ( which reveal most of the the prognost background and his feelings ) – makes the movie a beautiful visual poem.
Andrew starts as a young boy who mourns the death of his Dad – who was a pilot shot down in a war conflict. He meets different people – including the pilot who shot down his Dad’s plane – and they help him come to terms with that huge loss in his life. I remained under the impression that the film is made with one goal – to help all kids who suffer the loss of parent. ..
Quotes from The Pilot’s tale :
” If you believe in something , something important , something worth hanging on to – you have to fight for it …”
” You can`t live your life with hate in your heart ”
“…this kid has magic – the kind you see once in a generation!”
It was not that long ago when I wrote about the upcoming feature film “Muchacho Del Flamenco” . Metropolis Films’ Nation-wide casting search in Spain for the boy to star as “Pablo” is now over – and the winner is Ricky Rodriguez. I am happy that I have a chance to introduce him on blog – with some information about it , photos , a casting video ( that got him the role ) and an exclusive interview with Ricky for theskykid.com.
Ricky Rodriguez, 13, is a native of Spain and speaks little English. He is only 4 foot 10, and weighs but 80 pounds (146 cm., 36 kg) and is a phenomenal flamenco dancer. He is also a drummer with great rhythm and speed, and arte. “He reminds me of a little Brad Pitt” said director Nicholas Lam. It appears Hollywood has discovered this quiet boy from a small village in Spain.
Ricky scores high not just on looks and acting ability, but he is also statuesque, charming, smart, funny, good-natured, respectful, curious, obedient, well-behaved and the camera obviously loves him. Choreographer Rafael Amargo will be instructing Ricky in the dance, and expresses great confidence in the little lad. “He may very well be the next great Bailaor. I have never seen such talent in one so young.”
Producer Stephen Ryder extolled Ricky’s exceptional talent as well “We have observed hundreds of boys for this role – this kid has magic – the kind you see once in a generation. We were very fortunate to have found him. I take full credit.” He smiles like the cat that got the canary.
Ricky Rodríguez es el ganador del cásting nacional de Metropolis Films en toda España para protagonizar a “Pablo” en la próxima película “Muchacho del flamenco”.
Ricky Rodríguez, 13 años, es nativo de España y habla poco inglés. Mide sólo 1,46m y pesa 36 kg, y es un bailaor de flamenco fenomenal. También es un percusionista con gran ritmo y velocidad, y arte. “Me recuerda un poco a Brad Pitt”, dijo el director Nicholas Lam. Al parecer, Hollywood ha descubierto a este muchacho tranquilo en un pequeño pueblo de España.
Ricky no sólo destaca en apariencia y capacidad de actuar, también es escultural, encantador, inteligente, divertido, amable, respetuoso, curioso, obediente, de buen comportamiento y la cámara, obviamente, le ama. El coreógrafo Rafael Amargo instruirá a Ricky en el baile, y expresa una gran confianza en el muchacho. “Puede muy bien ser el próximo gran bailaor. Nunca he visto semejante talento en alguien tan joven.”
El productor Stephen Ryder exaltó el talento excepcional de Ricky “Hemos observado que entre cientos de niños para este papel, este chico tiene magia, es del tipo que se ve una vez en cada generación. Fuimos muy afortunados de haberlo encontrado. Me quedo todo el crédito”. Sonríe como el gato que atrapó al canario.
Below you can watch an audition clip that got Ricky the role and read his exclusive interview for theskykid.com :

There are many good short films scattered around the net – discovering and watching them always turns into true challenge . One of this films is Ahmed – produced by Stephen Ryder ( who I recently interviewed ) and directed by Rick Lancaster ( who together with Mr. Ryder worked on the soon to the released ” The last days of April ” ). Ahmed is only 5 minutes long – but it does tell a story …and makes you think of it . The protagonists are the people in Israel – but the main character is a 12 years old boy called Ahmed. While I was watching the films I wondered if what I was seeing was a manifestation of the contrasts in Israel – the contrast of the generations and cultures. In just five minutes we get to know the Ahmed ( played by the young Sky Moon Clark ) – by observing his morning routine and his interactions with the members of his family ( even the ones which for him are only a photo on the wall ).
The film has deeper meaning …can a person avoid his fate , or its all decided for us ?
Ausentes is a well told Spanish drama/terror movie written and directed by (Daniel Calparsoro) , since I’m not a big fan of Spanish Cinema, I thought of giving it a try and it certainly kept my attention during the 1hour and 25 minutes.
The director made a great work, while showing the world of Julia (Ariadna Gil) .
Julia is a publicist that has been laid off, and since she has great experience no one will give her a new job. While doing the transition from her work days to just a regular housewife she finds the challenge of keep herself together.
On their new house everything seems to be peace and tranquility but not for Julia that starts seeing things in the house TV’s, since everything is connected to the neighborhood security system, they won’t pay attention to the TV that switches from regular TV channels to security cameras around the new suburb they just move in.
Her boyfriend (Jordi Molla) kids Felix (Nacho Perez) and Luis (Omar Muñoz) will challenge poor Julia about everything, they will mess things around, and will make her go nuts, plus seeing and hearing things that she just can’t understand is not helpful. Trying to find the peace that she’s looking, she will start looking for solutions and will create a new way to move around the house, so everyone can be safe.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=553gnkOOYSw
Little Luis might be on her side, but at the same time he don’t understand what’s going on and Felix is one of those love/hate kids that will spice up the whole story.
The color in the movie is always faded and it gives you a good idea of what to expect and how things are going to be solved.
The movie is really dynamic and it won’t give you too much time to think, you will want to know what’s going on and what they are thinking.
Hope everyone can enjoy this movie as I did.
PS : Nacho Perez is also starring in the film of Pedro Almodovar ” Bad education “
