Battle of the Sexes

competition 01:29:00
For centuries there was something wrong with the perception of women. While girls were supposed to stay virgins until their wedding day, boys were expected to gain manhood in the company of whores. Once a woman stopped being the man's property and was allowed the same voting rights, the inequality exposed itself in her professional and personal life. It was a woman who...

Eternal Summer/Odödliga

crime 06:44:00
Remember Romeo and Juliet, who tried to love each other despite opposing families? Recall Tristan and Isolde, who fell for each other despite knight's word and wife's promise to another man? We love forbidden love, as love is hard to find. It disappears somewhere in the pursuit of money, career, and material things. It deceives you, pushes you into life scenarios you are...

Four Weddings and a Funeral

comedy 03:48:00
Some easily get married and equally easily get divorced. Others last in a happy relationship for a lifetime, not needing any written document, official ceremony, change of surname, a white dress, and a suit.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
