  I have watch this movie once, which was on 19 October 2007.

  Jean, a farm lad, wants to escape his silent father; he runs to Paris to his older brother, Georges, who’s away covering the war in Kosovo. Angry, he throws a bag of half-eaten pastry into a beggar’s lap. Amadou, a young Franco-African, berates him. The police arrive, arrest Amadou and deport the beggar. Georges’s girlfriend Anne is upset; it colors her relationship with Georges when he returns from the war. Separate lives intersect for the one moment, around the pastry bag, and all are altered. We follow each as repercussions of the incident play out. Deaf children bookend the film pantomiming words, feelings, and situations: what they are expressing?

• 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance

  5

  I have watch this movie once, which was on 22 November 2010.

  Explores the bleak, disjointed lives of several people only to tie them together at the end, during a tragic, violent climax. Spliced together, it unravels the fractured narratives from ten sets of people, ranging from a couple frustrated by their newly-adopted girl, an aging father, to a young runaway. Between these narratives, real news footage reporting on Yugoslavian and Turkish wars, and the Michael Jackson molestation trial, makes the world within the film even larger and colder.
