Le Horla (1966)
About Schizophrenia
My teacher in neurology lately brought this film into one lesson. She wanted to show us a typical development of schizophrenia. The main person (the only one in the whole film), performed by Laurent Terzieff, goes over half a year trough different symptoms of this psychical disease. Firstly fever, paranoia, the almost constant feeling of sickness and bad dreams these symptoms increase to hallucinations (acoustic, visual and somatic) and a heavy identity crisis. The actor, supported by the dark, cold and sometimes irritating sceneries, shows us a very good picture of the disease schizophrenia. Mostly you can hear the thoughts of the main person (a sensible, creative and empathic person) that lead you through the film. For all of you that are interested on this disease: Watch it, it really will help you to understand it.
Mr. Bones (2001)
Definitely Funny!
Mr. Bones may base mainly on so called 'toilet humor' and has a rough start. Maybe for some of you this special kind of humor is too flat, but it's up to you to decide. In my opinion this movie plays with humor in a sympathetic, childlike and simple way that forces me to think that the scriptwriter was totally drunk (maybe something else...)! I watched a lot of films lately, but none of them made me laugh as hard as this one. OK, if you want some pretentious entertainment this movie should not be your choice but for all other people: "Ignore the story and ignore the dialogs! Just enjoy the scenery and the jokes and have a good time!"
