SWITCH.
While falling short of the desired celebration that love conquers all, 'The Glass Room' still has some interesting plot points that may fare better in the novel it's based off. Given more time and a stronger, more coherent script, there is enough here to suggest that this is a story worth telling, but this isn't it. Stunning yet mostly soulless, 'The Glass Room' might leave audiences asking for more, but not because what was initially served was so tasty in the first place. - Joel Kalkopf Read Joel's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-glass-room-stunning-yet-soulless

1973-08-16Two female hitchhikers get mixed up with a gang of thieves and their stolen jewelery.Lovers & Murderers
2004-12-09Lovers & Murderers is about the ongoing war between those who have and those who want to have what the others have. The have-nots see themselves as poor victims trying to get for themselves what is justly theirs. But when the have-nots become haves, they continue to see themselves as victims of the hordes baying for what is justly theirs, and they have neither the energy nor the security to enjoy what they have obtained. The movie takes place in the microcosm of a small apartment building. The principal goal of the young people who share rooms in the building is to move into their own room and, some day, a real apartment. They scheme to get what they're after: form short-lived alliances, petition, frighten, marry, become pregnant, anything that might work. Lovers & Murderers presents Páral's vision of mankind caught in a cyclical process in which ideology pales before the pettiness, cruelty, and self-justification of human nature.The Orchid Villa

1965-05-26Two British children travel to Italy in an attempt to break up their runaway mother's affair with an Italian concert pianist.Las Meninas
2008-01-25This film is about what the routine of everyday life can do to the human mind and psyche. It also reflects on the importance of the choices we make and how limited these choices are in the first place. The plot evolves around a family of four. They live in the suburbs, in a strange villa that appears, through a complex game of mirrors, to be more like a piece of installation art than a real house. The main character, who hardly appears on screen, is the son, a man in his thirties. Suffering from asthma and eczema since childhood, he uses his condition to manipulate his parents and his sister. Thus the existence of the terrorized family turns into an endless ritual of attempting to satisfy his whims, and always on the alert for yet another one of his “health crises”. Las Meninas resembles the scattered pieces of a puzzle. It is up to the viewer to assemble them in order to form his very own picture – something that makes the film itself personal and unique.
