Dear Lemon Lima
Year: 2009
Country: USA
Genre: Comedy / Fiction
Director: Suzi Yoonessi

Mark: 1 to 5 [4]

Plot: Vanessa Lemor, 13, a lonely Yup’ik girl, is dumped by her true love – intellectual Philip Georgey,14 – and spends the summer obsessing over the heartbreaking tragedy. She counts down the days to fall semester at Nichols School, a close-minded preparatory school in Fairbanks, Alaska, where the Georgey Family lives. Awarded the only minority scholarship, Vanessa’s new life is a nightmare. Back from a summer abroad and fluent in French, Philip is elevated to popular status, while Vanessa is relegated to life with the rest of the “Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition”, FUBA. To make matters worse, she is elected captain for the school’s infamous Snowstorm Survivor competition, an event which simply perverts the traditional Native games of the World Eskimo Indian Olympics. But Vanessa believes that victory in the Snowstorm Survivor championship is the only way back into Philip’s heart. She quickly forms a quirky team of social misfits.

Personal View: Cute movie talking about relationships all the time, sometimes remembered Amelie Poulain at the screenshots and the fantasy. Emotional and laughing one. Typical  teenager’s things but also a kind of different view. I liked and I recommend.

The Architect

Der Architekt – The Architect
Year: 2009
Country: Germany
Genre: Drama
Director: Ina Weisse

Mark: 1 to 5 [2]

Plot: The successful Hamburg architect Georg Winter travels with his wife and two grown-up children to attend his mother’s funeral in a snowy mountain village where he grew up as a child. At the funeral, the mysterious Hannah and her son Alex suddenly appear. She unearths a truth which drags the family into a vortex of desires and confusion. When a snow avalanche cuts the village off from the outside world, there’s no escape.

Personal View: I tried to see this movie just twice, all the times I  just take this one to fill the blanks between a movie to other one. Did I like it? No! Even knowing that a German movie has a mind line different from the other movies, that they are ‘strange’ somehow, and knowing that the culture has a special part at this.
Senseless? Yep, a lot. Father that loves other woman instead the wife, that kissed the daughter, ok in a context maybe but not this way. One or other part has something, or makes you laugh a little, just.
