Movie Reviews of Bagdad Cafe
Movie Review: Unexpectedly Good
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't expecting this movie to be good, but it turned out to defy my expectations and was terrific. Two apparently different women meet, transform each other's lives and form a strong relationship based on their similarities. I laughed out loud and sympathized with Jasmin and Brenda, although I have to admit that it wasn't until a full 60 minutes had passed that I began to warm to Brenda.
Anyways, you will enjoy this movie, which says something about the interconnectedness of human beings, no matter how superficially we appear to be miles apart. And let's not forget the beautiful song, "Calling You", which I had on tape but never knew it was from this great movie.
Movie Review: Great movie, the kind that makes you understand life better
Summary: 5 Stars
People care about people, this is not obvious, but in this movie you can see how what go's around, comes around so beautifully, and simply.
it's so nice to see the transformation which the characters are going through, warms my heart, and give me hope that things might be different, now and simple for all of us, only if we care about and for one another.
The movie is done in a special way, unlike many movies, the story looks simple, yet it's full of depth which you would like to dive into and become one with the plot...
This movie will warm your heart and cleanse it as well, you will love life more after watching it...

Movie Review: Sutble Pleasure
Summary: 5 Stars
I was originally introduced to this movie during its initial release in '88 and enjoyed it thoroughly. I purchased the VHS version (and soundtrack on LP) as soon as it was available. The DVD version allows for the wonderful cinematography and editing to be further enjoyed. There is certainly a lesbian subtext that is often overlooked. It reads as a slightly different movie within that context. It makes it all that more wonderful. (Check out Zuckerbaby, Salmonberries and Rosalie Goes Shopping also my Percy Adlon)
Movie Review: Bagdad Coffee
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is a great little quirky art film. Having married into a German family,I can relate to many of "Yasmin's" traits. I was recently able to view it on the "THIS" network. I forgot many of the subtle scenes and dream-like qualities of this film. I actually regard the yellow coffee carafe as a character in the movie. There's even a scene where it looks as though it's moving on its own. It is a "running gag" throughout. I would recommend Bagdad Cafe' like a strong cup of joe on a cold morning.Movie Review: Friends anyone would want...
Summary: 5 Stars
Everybody has said just about all there is to say about this little gem. A quirky little film that revels in its' own quirkiness. Marianne Sagebrecht is an absolute joy & watching her underplay & yet invite sympathy is a pleasure one doesn't receive very often in cinema anymore. Watch CCH Pounder slow melt to the "magic". Both performances are revelatory. It's full of magical characters who aren't going anywhere & you know what? I wouldn't want them to. They're perfect right where they are.
