La prisonnière

The Captive is a sketch-piece made by René Laloux and Philippe Caza in preparation for the future more carefully produced work. It is based on comics by Caza and relates an enigmatic story of two children who come to a city of silence and discover that a mysterious female prisoner is kept in the tallest tower.

How Wang-Fo was saved

Wang-Fo [is] a supreme master of painting in medieval China. Reality is portrayed in his paintings even more beautifully than it actually is, in fact once one has seen the work of Wang-Fo, one scorns reality. In one part he paints the narrator's wife, who then falls out of love with her and in love with her portrayal in the paintings. One's glee is aroused when one realises the reflexivity involved. You are yourself witnessing animation that is so good that you are in danger of falling out with reality yourself (especially as regards the unreal landscapes in the film, highly influenced by Oriental art).

Without wishing to give away the plot too much I will say that Wang-Fo's skill incurs the Emperor's displeasure. His work is portrayed as being tantamount to sacrilegious because of its tendency to diminish reality. The Emperor orders Wang-Fo's mutilation, and it is how he is saved (the title points to this being the key to the riddle) that really makes the movie transcendent.

PS: Corrections to the subtitles from the French native speakers would be greatly appreciated!

Please keep in mind that The Captive is very loose (even though quite inspired). If you must choose one of the two, I would certainly suggest Wang-Fo...

Yes, I will share those sometime soon. Actually, Gravidance from vol. 4 is probably the most visually flamboyant of all the Kobrin's movies I've seen...

Yeah, it's a bit tricky. It's an FTP-based forum, but I guess you need to know some Russian to figure out which buttons to press to 1) be enqueued for the download, 2) retrive the link, 3) retrive the password for the archive...

thanks for the tip

, i thought they provided rapidshare links as well so that confused me a little bit . Will try again

hmm... do you know if there's a thread for "emily hubley - pigeon within " there ? There's a file on emule with the "fonarik.tv" label that is hard as hell to download, so i tried to search for it on that forum but without luck ...
thanks in advance

If you see a rapidshare link there, it will probably be for a dmml-file. This file is an index that should be used with MailDownloader (http://fonarik.tv/index.php?showtopic=33025) to retrieve the split movie archive (which has been distributed over the mailboxes of web-based e-mail services)... It's a rather outdated distribution system...

seiyuro_hiko escribió:do you know if there's a thread for "emily hubley - pigeon within " there ?

It was here: http://fonarik.tv/index.php?showtopic=27194
But it is not shared anymore. If you really want it, and if you do not succeed retrieving it from eMule for a long time, please let me know, and I'll talk to the guy who posted the original release...

Indeed . It was even strange ... i'd say posting rapidshare/megaupload/gigeshare...... links would be much easier ... oh well .. i still remember some years ago when i downloaded movies&shorts splitted in xxxx parts ( 1-5 mbs each part ) & disguised as pictures + pass-protected

Thank you for you kind offering. Will keep it in mind
