      That song i'm calling you....

      This film is the only D9 disc I have ever bought, and I am determined not to be ashamed of buying only the D5 disc, it's really much cheaper.....

      The desolate and lonely yellow in the American desert, hanging The blue that is boundless in the sky and even extends beyond the screen, that kind of combination makes people feel very empty and yearning. There is

      no suspense in the story, and everything develops as expected. This is a piece of spirituality in itself, plain as...

      you are light

      After more than half a month, I came here twice, and finally watched this #baghdacoffeehouse# I like it, if the film can stop when she appears on the side of the road again with a completely different mood, wearing a white dress more perfect. Despite this, I still want to remember those moving pictures, for example, the abandoned person is holding back tears in a simple hotel house, and the next moment he can still embellish scarves, exchange matching, tailoring and remodeling, overcome the...

      magician of life

      After an argument with her husband, a plump German woman sleeps alone in a motel that also runs a café. The thermal insulation high-pressure kettle left behind during the quarrel was filled with coffee and followed her, becoming the first prop of this magic trick. The cafe owner's husband left home angrily. She couldn't understand her son's music, couldn't accept her daughter's fashion, and couldn't bear the crying in the baby. There is no coffee machine, and the bar is dusty; the hotel she...

      Baghdad Cafe

      Baghdad Café, a West German film about two women and a café.
      The story does not take place in the war-torn Baghdad, but in the California desert town of Baghdad.
      It was a sandy place, and there was not a trace of green to be seen except for the peeling paint of the vans passing by.
      But there is a very beautiful sky, a deep blue, shrouding the whole town.
      That kind of light is heartwarming. In one shot, a rainbow appeared, and the rainbow was almost erected from the horizon....

      The Baghdad Café director just didn’t want to tell the story, and the cameraman just didn’t want to get his camera right. As a result, the absurd and uninhibited stories are full of surprises, the photography is unique, and the actors are neither humble nor arrogant. A rare piece of work with ulterior...
