Die Klage der Kaiserin (1990)
Beautiful
"The Complaint of an Empress" is more like a collection of random images, something like a collage. Most people would find the film boring and pointless, but I, for one, liked it immensely. It's all too quirky, too weird. Nothing makes sense, and there's no plot or dialogue. It's just random images, and sound. I guess it's comparable to Ron Fricke's work in a way. The scenes with the woman dressed as a bunny are very memorable. I think they are my favourites.
And this actually made me want to learn how to dance! The choreography is so marvelous, you want to dance just like the actors. So, yes, it's not your typical motion picture, but I really liked it.
Lilja 4-ever (2002)
One of the best films I have ever seen
Lilja 4-Ever is a tale about sex trafficking, parental neglect, depression and most importantly, hope and friendship.
It is a very emotional film and I was able to connect with the characters. The acting is excellent. The subject matter is very interesting and an eye opener. Lilya and Volodiya are absolutely amazing.
Although most of the footage was filmed in Estonia, the story is about a 16 year old Russian girl, and it was based in real life events according to the IMDb trivia.
I will not waste time writing a summary. Just watch it.
Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010)
Truly awful
This is the worst film ever made. It looks like an amateur film project. The cameras are very low quality and the filming is really bad. They could have used the money to buy better equipment. A $300 camera would suffice. Even I could make something better than "Birdemic", and I know nothing about production. Not even "The Room" comes close.
The acting is equivalent to something you'd find in porn. The soundtrack consists of cheesy stock music, and both the sound and visual effects are mediocre. They also chose some really poor locations for the scenes. The characters are not pricks like in The Room, but most of them are fillers, especially Rod's friend and Mai (the Asian girl). Speaking about characters, Rod and Nathalie are super successful. Nathalie is a model and Rod is a software engineer/salesman. Everything is going well in their lives. They were also one of the only people to survive the attacks.
"Birdemic" was made to teach people about environmental causes like global warming, forest fires, etc... so the film is full of blatant propaganda. For example, Mai wears a shirt with "IMAGINE PEACE" written on it, and Rod buys and sells solar panels. The characters also find a ornithologist on their journey and a "tree hugger" with a $1.99 wig.
So, in short, "Birdemic" is truly awful, and the worst of all is that it's completely serious.
