Flash Forward capsules: CHEF AT THE SOUTH POLAR, FAREWELL SONG and THE ALBINO TREES

 


CHEF OF THE SOUTH POLAR
Trueish story of a cook who leaves his family for a year and a half to cook for an isolated station in Antarctica. The base is 1000km from the coast and on top of a mountain. As crisis come and go Jun cooks meals which help the men with him get through the long days and nights.

This is a very good and very charming film. Its good times with great people. While the film might cover some expected ground, it still always entertains and delights.

Recommended.


FAREWELL SONG
A trio of singers  begins a final tour. They are barely speaking and know its time to hang it up. Bringing in a roadie the trio begin to once more find a common ground that allows them to slowly rebuild their relationship.

This is a sweet little film about likeable characters. It has some nice music.

Worth a look.


THE ALBINOS TREES
Lovely and measured drama has an animal control officer hired to hunt a rare deer. However as he gets to know the people who see the deer as living embodiment of a god he has second thoughts.

This is a beautiful film that quietly gets into your heart and moves you.

Recommended.
