Synopsis
Hideaki ITO stars as the teacher from Hell, in Takashi MIIKE's outrageous, blood-splattered, high school horror.
Cool and charismatic English teacher Seiji Hasumi (ITO) is popular with students and teachers alike. He inspires trust and respect from his class, greeting many with an affectionate, if irritating, ruffle of the hair. But his actions soon take a turn, revealing something dark behind that charming smile. Students become suspicious when friends slowly start to disappear, but little do they know that absolute jaw-dropping carnage is just around the corner.
Adapted from Yusuke KISHI’s horror novel, Aku no Kyōten, a commentary on tough high school life and dark student–teacher relationships, with plenty of black humour, absurd violence, and a splash of Cronenbergian fantasy added for good measure.
Director, Takashi Miike Biography
Born on August 24, 1960. After studying under Shohei Imamura and a number of other directors, he made his debut in 1991 and has directed many productions of various genres since then. His innovative ideas and edgy direction are highly praised in and out of the country, and he has enthusiastic fans all over the world. In 1997, along with John Woo, he ranked as the tenth most promising film directors chosen by “Time” magazine in the U.S. In 2000, “Audition” won the International Film Critics Award at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. In 2003, “Gokudo kyofu dai-gekijo: Gozu” was shown during the Directors’ Fortnight of the Cannes International Film Festival and received accolades from critics.

Densely layered, complex and atmospheric, Subconscious Landscapes sees Velvet Acid Christ pushing the boundaries further than ever. The act’s 16th studio album, the new record calls on influences in the ranges of Juno Reactor, Massive Attack, and Delerium. This album can be considered a natural progression from the hypnotic grooves of past VAC songs such as “Slut”. “Dilauded”, & “Ghost in the Circuit”.
Subconscious Landscapes seems to flow between two halves of an album, with the first four songs being highlighted by guest vocals from Sabine Theroni of Psykkle on “Barbed Wire Garden” and “Taste the Sin”, as well as Malgorzata Wacht on vocals for “Grey”. The second half, entitled “Mauvais” on side B of the vinyl version, takes a decidedly darker turn of sound. The new album also marks the first EVER vinyl release for Velvet Acid Christ.
Now in select theatres: My Sweet Pepper Land.
Baran, a Kurdish independence war hero, is now sheriff in Erbil, the capital city. No longer feeling useful in this society now at peace, he thinks about quitting the police force, but instead agrees to be stationed in a small valley, at the very borders of Iran, Turkey, and Iraq. It is a lawless territory, right at the heart of illegal drug, medication and alcohol trafficking. Having arrived in the small village, he refuses to bow down to Aga Azzi, the seriously corrupt tribal chief and absolute ruler of the area. Baran meets Govend, the village school teacher, who is also rejected by the villagers. Like Baran, she represents another law, that of the young and autonomous Kurdish state. Govend is all the more vulnerable as she is not a married woman.
Director: Hiner Saleem

DUTCH VERSION
Vanaf deze week in de bioscoop
Western komedie van Hiner Saleem met Korkmaz Arslan, Golshifteh Farahani, Suat Usta
Baran, een vroegere oorlogsheld, aanvaardt de job van politieman ergens ver weg in de bergen, in een grensdorpje met Turkije. Hij krijgt het er onmiddellijk aan de stok met de lokale “sterke man” Aziz Aga. Die bepaalt de wetten in de regio en verdient aardig wat geld met het smokkelen van medicijnen en alcohol van en naar Turkije. Aziz Aga heeft het niet begrepen op overheidsbemoeienis en wil dat alles bij het oude blijft, beknotting van vrouwenrechten incluis. Zo maakt hij de nieuw aangestelde onderwijzeres Govend het leven heel erg moeilijk...
Een pareltje van een western die ons inprent dat het Wilde Westen nog lang niet overal getemd is.
HUMO ★★★1/2
Een zinnenstrelende en thematisch rijke film.
DE STANDAARD ★★★
Zonder meer één van mijn favoriete films, met dank aan de gedurfde stijl. Het is de allereerste Koerdische cowboyfilm ooit.
