Crossing the Bridge - The Sound of Istanbul ( Fatih Akin )

versión original con subtítulos en inglés


Desde un punto de vista occidental, la película muestra una ciudad extraña, tensa, erótica, peligrosa y tentadora. El músico Alexander Hacke se sumerge en esta fantástica ciudad en busca de fuentes musicales, influencias y diferentes perspectivas.

Estambul arde. Si Berlín fue la ciudad más de moda a principios de los 90 y La Habana a finales de la misma década, es posible que el nuevo milenio haya escogido a Estambul para representar a la nueva megaciudad europea. Pero la cuestión es, ¿pertenece Estambul a Europa?

Hoy en día, muchos DJ, músicos y cantantes del mundo entero van a Estambul en busca de inspiración y del secreto de esta bella ciudad.

Baraka

The word Baraka means "blessing" in several languages; watching this film, the viewer is blessed with a dazzling barrage of images that transcend language. Filmed in 24 countries and set to an ever-changing global soundtrack, the movie draws some surprising connections between various peoples and the spaces they inhabit, whether that space is a lonely mountaintop or a crowded cigarette factory. Some of these attempts at connection are more successful than others: for insan early sequence segues between the daily devotions of Tibetan monks, Orthodox Jews, and whirling dervishes, finding more similarity among these rituals than one might expect. And there are other amazing moments, as when sped-up footage of a busy Hong Kong intersection reveals a beautiful symmetry to urban life that could only be appreciated from the perspective of film. The lack of context is occasionally frustrating--not knowing where a section was filmed, or the meaning of the ritual taking place--and some of the transitions are puzzling. However, the DVD includes a short behind-the-scenes featurette in which cinematographer Ron Fricke (Koyaanisqatsi) explains that the effect was intentional: "It's not where you are that's important, it's what's there." And what's here, in Baraka, is a whole world summed up in 104 minutes. --Larisa Lomacky Moore
