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.
七十年代轰动中国的纪录片,亿万国人记忆中的奋斗精神!在河南省的最北端,一个被称为林县的名不见经传的小地方因为一条水渠而闻名全国。这条悬崖峭壁上开凿的总长1500公里的大渠,被人们称为人造天河,它叫红旗渠。有一部与这条水渠同名的电影详细记录了当时修建的过程并于1971年在全国播出。红旗渠从1960年开始动工,一修十年,而电影《红旗渠》也跟拍了十年。拍摄这部纪录片的电影人制作了他们电影生涯中耗时最长、投入最多的一部纪录电影。十年间到底有多少人参加了《红旗渠》的摄制已经说不清楚,但在十年中他们共留下了一万多尺胶片。当年,周恩来总理曾自豪地对国际人言说,新中国有两个奇迹:一个是南京长江大桥、一个是林县红旗渠。
