Film7.8DramTarih1943'te Burma'da bir Japon esir kampının komutanı olan Saito, kampa yeni gelen İngiliz Albay Nicholson'dan adamlarına Kwai nehri üzerine bir köprü kurmalarını emretmesini istemektedir. Saito'nun amacı bu köprüyü kullanarak Japon birliklerine cephane taşıma konusunda avantaj sağlamaktır. Saito'nun işkencesine dayanamayan Albay bir süre sonra köprünün emri altındaki mühendisler için de bir moral kaynağı olacağını düşünerek onun isteğini kabul eder. Nicholson düşmanının esiri konumunda da olsa, onun ve adamlarının yapabileceğinden daha iyi bir köprü yaparak onu psikolojik seviyede altetmiş olacağını düşünür. İnşaat ilerledikçe Nicholson köprünün düşmanına avantaj sağlayacağını tamamen unutur ve onu mükemmelleştirmek için elinden geleni yapar.
Film7.6DramTarih20. yüzyılın ilk yarısında İngiliz sömürgesi altındaki Hindistan'da geçen film, bağımsızlık mücadelesi için İngiliz yönetimine karşı "Pasif Direniş"i örgütleyen Mahatma Gandhi'nin hayatından bir kesit anlatıyor. En iyi biyografik çalışmalardan biri olarak kabul edilen Gandhi, 11 dalda aday olduğu Oscar ödüllerinden "en iyi film" ve "en iyi yönetmen" dahil tam 8 ödülle döndü. Gandhi rolünde sinema tarihinin en iyi performanslarından birine imza atan usta oyuncu Ben Kingsley'nin ise "en iyi erkek oyuncu" dalında heykelciğe uzanmasıysa pek zor olmadı. Cenaze sahnesinde yaklaşık 300.000 kişinin yer almasıyla da bir film sahnesinde yer alan en kalabalık insan sayısı rekorunu da elinde bulunduran film, çarpıcı sahneleriyle hafızalardan silinmeyecek bir yapıt. Hindistan bağımsızlık hareketinin lideri Gandhi'nin gerçek hayatından sinemaya aktarılan bu gerçekçi yapım, ülkemizde yıllarca yasaklanmış ve gösterime girememişti..

Film7.1SuçGerilimCinnet, Alfred Hitchcock'un yıllar sonra sevgili kentine, yani Londra'ya dönüşünü simgeler. Bu dönüş ustaya ilham vermiş gibidir: Kentin son derece başarılı bir fon olarak kullanıldığı, herşeyiyle tipik İngiliz bir seri cinayetler öyküsü izleriz. Film, aynı zamanda Hitchcock filmlerinde görülegelmiş en kanlı cinayet sahnelerinden bazılarını da içerir. Ve bu nedenle kimi eleştirmenlerden "zevksiz" damgasını yer. Sanki biraz da bunu dengelemek için, katilin peşindeki polis komiseriyle eşinin evlerindeki yemek tartışmaları, ustanın mutfak kültürüne olan büyük ilgisinin bir yansıması ve ayrıca başlıbaşına bir mizah unsurudur. Ve film star oyuncuya sahip değilse de tipik İngiliz, birinci sınıf bir takım oyunculuğu içerir.

Film6.6DramKomediIvan Kouznetsoff, a Russian engineer, recounts during World War II his stay in England prior to the war working on a new propeller for ice-breaking ships. Naïve about British people and convinced by hearsay that they are shallow and hypocritical, Ivan is both bemused and amused by them. He is blunt in his opinions about Britons and at first this puts off his hosts, including the lovely Ann Tisdall, whose grandfather runs the shipbuilding firm that will make use of Ivan's propeller. The longer Ivan stays, however, the more he comes to understand the humor, warmth, strength, and conviction of the British people, and the more they come to see him as a friend rather than merely a suspicious Russian. As a romantic bond grows between Ivan and Ann, a cultural bond begins to grow as well, particularly as the war begins and Russia is attacked by Germany.
