Gambling, Gods and LSD

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Gambling, Gods and LSD (2002)


From an airport mega-church where a pastor performs flamboyant feats of faith-healing to poncho-clad crowds gathering to witness the implosion of a Vegas hotel; from recovering Swiss addicts reviewing their lives’ winding paths to spontaneous sacred encounters with strangers in India; Swiss-Canadian nonfiction auteur Peter Mettler’s most emblematic work is a rigorously associative travelogue, traversing diverse continents and landscapes, spiritual convictions and psychological states. 

Transcendence is the core theme, prepared improvisation the modus operandi. Whether flying solo or accompanied by a skeleton crew, Mettler’s capacity to be fully present, his gentle approach to interlocution, and his uncanny antenna for eccentricity draw in a stream of fascinating characters ready to articulate their longing for the infinitely varied sublime. A film of arrivals and departures, this Genie-winning, intuition-fuelled essay on peak experience is a peak in Mettler’s oeuvre and should be on any list of the greatest Canadian films ever made.

Meek's Cutoff

Synopsis:


A League of Their Own Presents: Meek's Cutoff (2010)

The year is 1845, the earliest days of the Oregon Trail, and a wagon team of three families has hired the mountain man Stephen Meek to guide them over the Cascade Mountains. Claiming to know a short cut, Meek leads the group on an unmarked path across the high plain desert, only to become lost in the dry rock and sage. 

Over the coming days, the emigrants must face the scourges of hunger, thirst and their own lack of faith in each other's instincts for survival. When a Native American wanderer crosses their path, the emigrants are torn between their trust in a guide who has proven himself unreliable and a man who has always been seen as the natural enemy.

Memories of Murder

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Memories of Murder (2003)

1986. In a rural district of South Korea, two women have been recently raped and murdered. Working on the case are detectives Park Doo-man and Cho Yong-koo. Their efforts are impeded by some sloppy crime scene procedure by the police. Their methods of solving cases are also quite basic, essentially amounting to beating confessions out of suspects. 

All this leads to nothing and the police chief brings in a more sophisticated and intelligent detective from Seoul, Seo Tae-yoon. With his arrival the methods improve but they still don't have the killer. Then another woman is found murdered and a pattern emerges.

Director: Bong Joon Ho
