Luciana’s office is a place of miracles. This is where strangers confide in her, share their most profound desires and concerns. And Luciana? She circles her huge magnifying glass over the pages of old books to soon find the perfect coordinates for a spiritual new beginning. In his new film, Peter Kerekes becomes nothing less than a witness to psychomagical acts. The Neapolitan astrologer is not only able to calculate the perfect birthday spot for those who seek advice – in her blunt way, she aims right at the centre of personal dramas. A pair of identical twins, for example, argue whether one of the sisters should fulfil the other’s longing for a child, while an unhappy mother yearns to rekindle her relationship. Luciana sends the twins to Beirut, the mother to Alaska. Kerekes accompanies them on their journeys of salvation, even if Alaska turns into an air conditioner and a few buckets of ice cubes for reasons of practicality. He always brings out the comic potential of a story while pointing out complicated conflicts with astonishing poignancy: possessive mother figures and absent fathers, loneliness in a relationship and the fear of change. “Wishing on a Star” is a charming consultation that boldly confronts the big questions in life.

一支由20位登山专家组成的尼泊尔探险队出发前往圣母峰的「死亡地带」,为的是清除超过海拔8000公尺的世界最高垃圾堆,恢复这座神圣山峰的风采和消除1.3亿人赖以生存的水源污染。「死亡地带」名称的由来是因为该区氧气极为稀薄、气温极低而且地形险恶。虽然陆续有清理行动,一点一滴的将垃圾带下山,但从没有人敢夸口说真的解决了「死亡地带」的污染问题,在那里有150具遇难的登山者尸体和超过100,000磅垃圾。这次登山队再次攀登到了最高峰,并记录下了一场生与死的旅程。
