	TIERRA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Tierra (Earth) (1995), to date his most vital and vivid work, begins in the heavens and lands in the red dust of a remote wine growing region, a world both primal and alien where the enigmatic wood lice lives underground and angels live among the humans above.
		The character of Angel in Tierra had been written for Antonio Banderas, who had originally agreed to make the movie but then declined, and I had written the character of Patricio [the husband of the Emma Suarez character) for Carmelo, because Carmelo’s dad was a farmer and it was a world he knew.
		I like my films to play out on natural landscapes, on open landscapes, because I think it’s easier for characters to find their essence on these open landscapes, to let their instincts come out as they work through their problems and find answers to their primal questions.

	Julio Medem
		The title of the film refers to the passive omnipresence of cows, and also serves as a contrasted allusion to the national tradition of bullfighting.
		Tierra opens with a hypnotic journey through space, as the camera soars through the ethereal atmosphere, descending towards an agricultural area, then focusing in on a lone traveler who is having a motivational conversation with himself.
		Tierra is a haunting, visually mesmerizing journey into the strange world of human behavior - attraction and connection, love and jealousy, the spiritual and the corporal - and subterranean woodlice.

		Tierra y Libertad - Film by Ken Loach One of the many merits of Ken Loach's latest film Tierra y Libertad is that it prompts a re-reading of Homage lO Cata@onia.
		Much of the film is, in fact, a recreation of scenes in Orwell's book: the "parade-ground drill of the most antiquated, stupid kind" (chapter 1) at the Lenin Barracks in Barcelona, the trenches on the Aragon front, the rifle that backfires, the May fighting in Barcelona.
		The hand-held carnera conveys all the emotion of the street-fighting and the panic caused by a priest firing from the church belfry.

	Tierra (1996) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		As with all Medem's films, TIERRA operates on two levels of meaning - the surface narrative, and the underlying composition of image and form.
		The film starts with a voiceover talking to someone called Angel through the cosmos, informing him of the job he has to do, showing him the island he will be working on, and warning him of the mysteries riddled therein.
		In a film obsessed with death, he assserts life and the comic spirit, accomodating, not refuting, the abyss.

	Land and Freedom: Review from Cineaste
		This eminently well-intentioned film merely demonstrates that it is extremely difficult to transform an event as intricate and riven with contradictions as the Spanish Revolution into a populist epic.
		But the film is flawed not by lack of detail or outright historical distortion, but by a yearning to render a messy past seamless and comforting.
		To Loach's credit, the final sequences of his film give audiences an accurate idea of the Stalinists' accelerated repression of their left-wing rivals which led by 1937 to the imprisonment of thousands of CNT and POUM partisans.

	Tierra, The Exterminator, Angel
		Tierra (Earth, Julio Medem, 1996) opens with a hypnotic journey through space, as the camera soars through the ethereal atmosphere, descending towards an agricultural area, then focusing in on a lone traveler who is having a motivational conversation with himself.
		In Tierra, Ángel is torn between the sweet, melancholic Ángela (Emma Suarez), the neglected wife of a local farmer named Patricio (Karra Elejalde), and the sensual, uninhibited Mari (Silke), Patricio's mistress.
		Tierra is a fascinating metaphysical excursion into the enigmatic and wondrous terrain of human emotion: attraction and connection, love and jealousy, the spiritual and the corporal.

		Tierra is co-scripted by Littin and Luis Sepulveda, the acclaimed author of 1992's The Old Man Who Read Love Stories.
		Though the story behind it is reworked radically, the film is based on and, according to Littin, is an homage to the work of Chilean writer Francisco Coloane, a scribe from early in the last century who wrote in the adventuring Conrad/Melville tradition.
		The film opens up questions of perennial human interest such as how much suffering we will endure in the name of ambition.

	Review - Tierra (1996) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		"Tierra's" script is highly philosophical and is peppered with nuggets of pop-wisdom; it gives the film an inspirational air, and there's just something comforting about the way Angel helps people find themselves in life and death.
		The film's chronology is as "schizo" as Angel's personality; Medem plays with time and space to great effect--one second you might be stood outside in the midday sun, the next second you could be in a bar at midnight.
		"Tierra" is the first Julio Medem film I've ever watched and it's certainly left me with a hunger to discover his other works.

	tierra - film review
		This is a film they do not make in Hollywood, more 'quotidienne' than the snappy city mindset of Pi, this film stinks to high heaven of the earth.
		You watch this video the way you thrust your bare hands into the ground, lifting up handfuls of soil, worms, woodlice and fumigation powder and suffocate on the chill burst of lightning that stops all drama.
		Tierra is another top film from yet another Spanish master of the surreal.

	Cannes 96 - Films
		His films ask us to think; they are like beautifully-coloured question marks, but you don't have to approach them on the philosophical level at all, if you don't want to.
		The film charts Angel's uncertainty when confronted with the two women, a band of gipsies who are working for him and the violent attentions of Patricio.
		Though the pace is leisurely - Tierra is a little over two hours long - subtle accumulation of dramatic detail and entirely convincing character portrayals mean that by the time the last reel rolls around, the tension is humming.

		It is important to remember that Dr. Gonstead always stated, “it is very important to find the subluxations on the patient, then take x-rays to verify our findings.” The Gonstead method may use 14” X 36” AP and Lateral x-rays films.
		The AP is a single exposure film taken in the standing, or weight baring position to allow for a full spine structural analysis.

		If we consider the mythical stories he did with Ivens, Buñuel and Storck, we see that they represent three closely related films in terms of their subjects—hunger, isolation, labor with no future or a future unknown to the workers, as well as in terms of their perspective and, especially, in terms of Lotar’s eye.
		In the same way, documentary photographs, films and television have become a group of referents that has encouraged a series of attitudes on the open, bleeding wounds in the world since the 1930s.
		This is the open, bleeding wound that art attempts to heal, just as photography, film, and television have done in their best moments of producing feeling, of producing reality.

		Eine Inhaltsangabe kann "Tierra" nur unzureichend gerecht werden, denn zum Einen mag das jetzt nach banaler Sexposse klingen, was es nun wirklich absolut nicht ist.
		Wem die Aussagen und Philosophie-Miniaturen in "Tierra" dubios oder gar banal vorkommen, der möge erst mal bessere Antworten finden.
		Und überhaupt: Wer sich, wie dieser Film, mit den ganz großen Fragen auseinandersetzt (Leben, Tod, Liebe, Sex, Bestimmung, Erinnerung, erdiger Wein), und das auf ganz und gar charmante, unprätentiöse Weise, der geht genau den richtigen Weg.

		„Tierra“ is an island, one man, a remote, imagined landscape on the banks that seperate life from death, the known from the unknown.
		A story of choices and simulated balances due to the existential anguish of a fragile and sensitive being that feels small and despicable in realtion to the incalculable laws which govern the universe.
		But „Tierra“ is also a physical and sensual place, full of light and smell, with possibilities for passion and blood so contradictory that they require a heartrending choice.

	Toto movie reviews: Lovers of the Arctic Circle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Perhaps it is the inevitability of the action that renders the film cold and uninvigorating.
		In a way, Medem's film celebrates how imagination, desire, dream unconsciously shapes our destiny, our fate, weaving patterns that are less coincidental than fractal, predestined, apparent at each level of existence, from the trivial to the global.
		The film skips between Ana's and Otto's perspectives as it does timelines and national boundaries - from past to present, childhood to adulthood, Spain to Finland, even Australia.

		The story is based on facts, but, though shooting straight from the hip with a solid dose of humor, Loach elevates it to legend.
		In so doing, he becomes a tad demonstrative, which, for some, was somewhat the problem for such films as "Hidden Agenda".

		Having digested the film, Mesa would paint his poster by hand on a silkscreen, using high-contrast colors to serve as a negative.
		American film posters strike him as commercial, apart from four or five, including the X-Men poster, that engage with the film's theme, as he does.

		Elías Querejeta was born in October of 1934 in Hernani, in the Basque province of Guipuzcoa.
		Based loosely on the Marquis de Sade’s Les 120 Journées de Sodome (1785), L’Age d’Or was a surrealist and subversive film with a sequential narrative of sorts that scandalized its audience for its farcical presentation of the bourgeoisie (the military, the nobility, and the Church).
		The film Vacas is divided into 4 chapters that cover a period from the end of the Second Carlist War in 1885 to the beginning of the Spanish Civil War in 1936.

		While most discriminating filmgoers generally select a nice potpourri of film selections (Hollywood, indie, international, repertory), the international film community often feels that they must exalt themselves at the expense of Hollywood.
		Iosseliani was funny, poignant, and spoke as though his thoughts were not opinions but absolutes: "The introduction of capitalism into any art form has never created anything of merit." This is definitely a guy you'd want to spend an afternoon in a bar with.
