Marleen Gorris' sightly absurdist, slightly magic realist movie about a strong woman who takes charge in a rural Dutch community is a fable about a kind of matriarchal utopia -- where decisions are made with patience and understanding, the weak are protected and women aren't abused. It's an Oscar winner for Best Foreign film -- the first directed by a woman, Antonia's Line Blu-ray Film Movement 1995 / Color / 1:78 widescreen / 103 min. / Antonia / Street Date April 19, 2016 / 39.95 Starring Willeke van Ammelrooy, Els Dottermans, Dora van der Groen, Veerle van Overloop, Esther Vriesendorp, Carolien Spoor, Thyrza Ravesteijn, Mil Seghers, Jan Decleir, Elsie de Brauw, Reinout Bussemaker, Marina de Graaf, Jan Steen, Catherine ten Bruggencate, Paul Kooij, Fran Waller Zeper, Leo Hogenboom, Flip Filz, Wimie Wilhelm.

Chicago – A glance at the premise of Ben Sombogaart’s “Bride Flight” would lead one to believe that the entire film chronicled the 1953 long distance air race from London to Christchurch, New Zealand. Yet that backdrop merely serves as the launching pad for a plethora of melodramatic fireworks. Despite occasional moments of hokum, the film benefits greatly from its three splendid leads.
Instead of focusing on the race itself, Marieke van der Pol’s script centers on a trio of female immigrants from Holland who board the plane known as The Flying Dutchman (dubbed “Bride Flight”) to meet their fiancés as they make a new home in New Zealand. Yet a chance encounter with a handsome young ladykiller, Frank (Waldemar Torenstra), proves to have a lasting impact on their lives. What follows is a relatively standard romantic tearjerker much like “Bridges of Madison County” with a dash of post-wwii intrigue.

Given his immense success with the impossible Proust, Ruiz may have proven the ideal director for Nabokov, especially his hilarious Pnin. Ruiz and Nabokov were well matched with their shared themes of memory and exile, rapture and obsession; their fondness for elaborate word/image play; their grave facetiousness. Imagine what Ruiz might have done with that vertiginous “segue” at the start of Chapter Four of Pnin in which Victor’s nocturnal fantasy imagines his...

"Raúl Ruiz's films are zesty experiments in elaborate esoteria, the more obscure the better. Just one of the four movies he cranked out in 1982, this humid head-scratcher (subtitled "A Film About Survival") encases a rich barrage of ideas in the skin of a mock fable, set in a vaguely futuristic parallel universe. The plot follows a Dutch anthropologist couple (Jean Badin, Willeke van Ammelrooy) who bump into "communist millionaire" Fernando Bordeu at the Malcolm X Hotel and accept an invitation to his island manor in Patagonia to chart the linguists of the last two survivors of a massacred tribe -- while Badin loses himself in studying and eventually domesticizing the natives (whose language, reinvented daily, consists of sixty words with roughly a hundred different inflections each), Ammelrooy and Bordeu forge their own Last Year in Marienbad love connection. Mirrors get buried and tongues get cut before the film reaches its nonconclusion,...

“Bride Flight” is a haunting masterpiece that combines the power of “Doctor Zhivago” with the ambiguity of “The End of the Affair.” The result is a psychological joyride of epic proportions.
Based upon the best-selling novel of the same name, “Bride Flight” focuses on three young Dutch women — Ada (Karina Smulders), Marjorie (Elise Schaap) and Esther (Anna Drijver) — who marry by proxy and travel to New Zealand for their formal weddings. The year is 1953, and the women are part of a select group of emigrant passengers chosen to travel aboard Klm in the Last Great Air Race from London to Christchurch. En route, the three women happen to meet a particularly gallant young man seated nearby,...
