although it is most obviously a tale of redemption , the journey of august king is also a love story ( in the most basic sense of the word
love
) . despite the lack of romance and limited sensuality , there ' s no doubt that an intimate bond develops between august and annalees , although it ' s not the one most movies would choose . each learns from the other and , by the final reel , it ' s unclear who has gained more from the exchange . the toll of the journey seems a small price to pay for what they achieve , separately and together . and for those fortunate enough to see this film , the journey of august king offers a look through the window of a rare and special story .
one gripping element of the journey of august king is the way the plot moves in tandem with character development . the most emotionally - stirring scenes are the simple ones . when august willingly sacrifices a prized possession to enable the slave annalees to remain hidden , he is not only aiding her physical liberation , but assisting the deliverance of his own soul , which has lain in a self - made purgatory since the death of his wife .

the journey of august king is as close to a flawless motion picture as is likely to be produced by the film industry ( independent or mainstream ) . featuring strong acting , realistic set and costume design , an intelligent script , solid directing , and evocative cinematography , every facet of this movie is impressive . it is a thoughtful , emotionally - rich production that explores its title in both a literal and a metaphysical sense . in the process , the audience experiences both of august king ' s journeys : the one he takes through the mountains of western north carolina and the one his soul makes from loss to salvation .

heart - affecting drama about the spiritual potency of freedom and the redemptive power of love .
august king is a young man whose life is changed forever when he risks everything to help a beautiful woman on a courageous—and very dangerous—search for a new life . desperate yet determined , the two set out on a harrowing journey towards freedom and find in each other the strength to overcome incredible odds .
the land breakers is one of the best books i ' ve read on the settling of the nc mountains , and this novel is the second of john ehle ' s mountain series . it takes place in 1810 , 30 years after the first one , so we see the growth of the communities as new settlers come into the area . one of these men is august king . august makes his yearly trip down the mountain to sell stock and buy supplies and on the way home runs into a runaway slave girl that he decides to help . to say that his life is changed
the movie stars thandie newton as the escaped slave , named annalees , and jason patric as august king , whose wife died in childbirth . the other major character is larry drake , the slave owner who has posted a reward for annalees .
in addition the monkey king festival is celebrated every year at the end of the mid - autumn festival . throughout the years there have been many interpretations of this legend told in numerous television shows , comics , novels , video games and even motion pictures . notable movie adaptions include the global hit the forbidden kingdom and the upcoming tsui hark / stephen chow film , journey to the west 2 : the demon strikes back .
the show is thus presented in the purpose built theatre created by sands china ltd . especially for huayan group’s monkey king – china show production . guests can expect to be captivated by the giant 15 meter buddha hand weighing 7 tons and two huge talons reaching out from the sides of the theatre . one of the spectacular scenes is where the buddha hand armed with eight talismans of buddhism and carrying aurora and rainbow , strikes talons into the dust as a postlude to ‘ode to buddha’ based on the holy music at the end of the novel ‘journey to the west’ . this is the point when the monkey king – china show expresses its overall theme of changing evil into good and hatred into love .
the journey of august king : under the direction of john duigan ( the year my voice broke , flirting , sirens ) , john ehle adapts his own novel , set in north carolina , about the encounter between the title hero ( jason patric ) , a white mountain man , and a young runaway slave woman ( thandie newton ) he decides to help ; with larry drake and sam waterston . ( fine arts , 9 : 15 )
australian director john duigan , whose previous efforts include the year my voice broke , flirting , and sirens , is in complete control of the material . working with his best script yet , duigan displays his mastery of tone and pacing . the journey of august king advances slowly and deliberately , allowing the characters necessary time to breathe and expand . nothing is hurried or forced ; duigan understands how to move action and transform personalities without cheating or manipulating his audience .
the footage of old fashioned days on south michigan avenue will become the centerpiece of a new documentary .
the monkey king stage production by huayan breaks new ground in interpreting this classic tale to appeal to a modern audience . the acting scenes encompass the monkey king in the human world and a devil , all set against stunning backdrops switching between the celestial , a buddhist community and moving from heaven , the top mountain to the underwater sea .
one of the best books i ' ve read about the north carolina mountains .
the huayan group is a cultural company based in beijing , china . president and chairman of the board , xu feng vision’s for the company was always to bring chinese culture to a wider audience . monkey king – china show is not only the result of the development story of huayan group but it also realizes president xu’s overall vision and hence the notion of a ‘china show’ was born . the ‘china show’ concept is brand new form of stage performance in which a chinese story and its culture underlies the framework of the performances . after much exploration and research , president xu in his role as chief producer felt that the classical chinese novel ‘journey to the west’ was the perfect platform to do this . as a result , the show is a reflection of the spirit of originality and craftsmanship which their creative team have dedicated themselves to for the past eight years .
the land breakers is one of the best books i ' ve read on the settling of the nc mountains , and this novel is the second of john ehle ' s mountain series . it takes place in 1810 , 30 years after the first one , so we see the growth of the communities as new settlers come into the area . one of these men is august king . august makes his yearly trip down the mountain to sell stock and buy supplies and on the way home runs into a runaway slave girl that he decides to help . to say that his life is changed by that decision is an understatement , as he risks every thing he values , including his very soul . while i could not rate this one with the same 5 stars i gave to the first one , it was an excellent continuation of the saga .
john duigan ' s “the journey of august king” tells the story of a lonely man , returning to his rural home from the market , who encounters an escaped slave woman and decides to help her . he tells her what he is doing is “against the law , ” but he does it anyway , in part because of guilt over a dead wife he was unable to help , and in part because she is helpless and harmless , and he feels sorry for her . later , there is an element of affection , although the film is over before we see what it might lead to .
while most films require one to three years to produce , for the journey of august king , the process lasted twenty - five years . the novel was published in 1971 , and universal pictures immediately optioned the screen rights . now , over two decades and three screenplays later , the movie has finally made it to theaters . following a short film festival run ( which included the coveted closing position at venice ) , the picture is scheduled for a late - 1995 release in new york and los angeles , with wider distribution in early 1996 .

the multi - media components were accomplished by the team at tsinghua university , led by the frontrunner of chinese multi - media art wang zhigang . the imagery ranges from spectacular led screens and 3d projections of beautiful flowers , birds and fish to the dark elements of the underwater dragon’s palace .
while valid and somewhat interesting , story isn’t sufficiently complex or strongly driven to engage rapt attention , and too many of the significant moments along the way consist of curious or suspicious passers - by trying to figure out what’s up with august , while his illicit passenger hides in the wagon .

the movie is good - hearted , earnest and handsome to look at . but it is boring . the pacing , which is meant to be thoughtful , is lethargic . the silences grow longer than the moods they are intended to establish . the relationship between annalees and august could have generated a great deal more tension than it does , perhaps if august had been made not quite so good , so that he had to struggle more to do the right thing .
the hundreds of colourful costumes were designed by renowned designer ah kuan , who skillfully integrated cloisonné and traditional chinese elements to bring to life the magical and sometimes dramatic costumes . all of these elements are complemented by a team of talented artists , acrobats , ballet dancers , and martial arts masters from all around the world including stars from the national peking opera . the acrobats include previous cast members of the world famous cirque du soleil , as well as past winners of the golden clown award , gold medal winners of the international acrobatics competition , the circus international competition and cctv dance competitions .

as time goes on , word gets out that the man aiding the slave is trailing along a milk cow , so august kills his . he rushes through some rapids , losing his pig in the process , then witnesses olaf capturing the other slave and brutally hacking him to death in his frustration over not finding annalees , whom he has special personal reasons for finding . by the time they arrive at his farm , august has virtually nothing left , setting up a nicely wrought , religiously tinged elemental lesson in the relative value of material goods , earthly laws and the higher moral plane .

directors george roy hill and , later , robert mulligan previously tried to launch screen versions of john ehle’s 1971 novel about a perilous interracial trip through the mountains of north carolina in 1815 , before the existence of the underground railroad . as adapted by the author , tale serves up a degree of understated suspense as the net slowly closes around the fleeing pair , but its progress is so straight - forward and repetitive in incident , with low - key revelations dotting the way , that a full head of dramatic steam is never built up .

august has already seen the girl once , and when annalees ( thandie newton ) reappears at his campsite the next night , the devout , principled man can scarcely refuse the starving 17 - year - old some basic hospitality , even if helping a runaway constitutes a serious crime . once he’s allowed her to sleep in his wagon , he passively consents to having her remain there ; she does her best to hide when others , including olaf , come along the road , while august rather rudely avoids solicitous fellow travelers , the better to speed along to his farm .
but for those willing to relax into the leisurely pace , pic offers the pleasure of an utterly believable , highly specific evocation of a time and place . the constant presence to animals , and their importance to the lives of the citizens , are strongly emphasized , patricia norris ’ sets and costumes are densely detailed , and there is an ever - present sense of a new nation just beginning to set itself on track . patric gives an agreeably low - key performance as the simple man led by common decency and correct moral principles to do the right thing despite the law of the land . newton , first seen in duigan’s “flirting” and recently costarring in “jefferson in paris , ” carries off the part of her desperate teenager in good fashion .

in a performance that is remarkable because of its reserve and restraint , jason patric plays the title character , a widowed frontiersman making his way home from town in 1815 north carolina . he has just used the year ' s gains to buy a milk cow , a boar , and two geese . along the road , he meets up with a runaway slave girl ( thandie newton ) , heading for the freedom of the north . her owner , olaf singletary ( larry drake ) , desperately wants her back and is offering a handsome reward for her return - - five acres of land and a good horse . august thinks this is too cheap a price for a human life , but is still reluctant to help the girl because it ' s against the law . eventually , however , her bleak circumstances prick his conscience , and he allows her to hide in his wagon . thus begins his complicity in an act that could lead to his complete financial ruin .
jason patric plays the title character , a decent , unexceptional young widower who stops in a small community to stock up on supplies and make the final payment on his farmland . the citizenry is in an uproar because two slaves have escaped from the richest man in the territory , olaf singletary ( larry drake ) , who rouses the locals to help him find them .
war stories : we ' re in the land of unapologetic , unadulterated talking heads : a group of white - haired new zealand women face gaylene preston ' s camera one after the other to answer the telling question
what did you do in the war , mommy ?
( world war ii , that is , when new zealand defended itself against a japanese invasion by ambivalently hosting myriad gis ) . war stories is surprisingly moving and lyrical , thanks to the quality of the storytelling and to its subjects , women in their 60s and 70s who feel comfortable with this dying thing called language .

witness for the prosecution : billy wilder ' s 1958 adaptation of agatha christie ' s famous stage thriller . the artificial plotting is all christie ' s , but the film eventually becomes wilder ' s thanks to a trick ending that dovetails nicely with a characteristic revelation of compassion behind cruelty . his theatrical mise - en - scene - - his proscenium framing - - serves the material well , as does charles laughton ' s bombastic portrayal of the defense attorney . with tyrone power ( nicely feckless ) , marlene dietrich , and elsa lanchester .

* gazon maudit : a cheating husband gets his comeuppance when his bored wife ( victoria abril ) enthusiastically throws herself into an affair with a very butch lesbian whose van has broken down in front of their house . but rather than stop there , this snappy french farce , directed by josiane balasko , repeatedly turns the tables on all the parties involved . perhaps the most refreshing thing about the movie is that it manages to be pointed and bitingly funny without stooping to the kind of mean - spiritedness and condescension one finds in the work of pedro almodovar or the bitterness one finds in bertrand blier . balasko directs a terrific ensemble cast with grace and warmth . the film has already been picked up by miramax , so you can wait for it to show up in commercial release . but it ' s probably more enjoyable than most of this year ' s fare .

the creative team have used these elements to create a rich and multilayered narrative time and space , that presents the audiences with traditional chinese culture and modern vitality which at the same time provides a stage performance art with infinite possibilities .
no return address : an elderly postal employee ' s sleep is interrupted by the late parties of a young girl who lives in the apartment above him , so he knocks and complains and threatens to call the police . the girl , in retaliation , writes him anonymous love letters , setting events in motion that will disrupt his life profoundly . it becomes obvious that this mail carrier has rarely read any letters . and reading , as don quixote can attest , is pretty heady stuff . in many ways carlos carrera ' s no return address is a modern mexican version of don quixote , with the thin , aging petty functionary pursuing his unknown dulcinea . on the word of a sleazy private eye , he accepts an obvious prostitute with no interest in him as his ideal love . meanwhile a fat , expansive coworker , who worries over him like an old mother hen , serves as a magnificent scene - stealing sancho panza . the story unfolds with appropriate irony , but it ' s the unspoken connection between the two neighbors - - despite their differences in age , sex , and attitude - - that gives the film its peculiar resonance and odd sense of intimacy .

mannekin pis : this delightfully offbeat romantic comedy from belgium arrives with a host of festival awards . the first feature film by its 30 - year - old director , frank van passel , mannekin pis ( referring to a famous brussels statue of a little boy urinating ) both relies on and transcends the conventions of its genre . the principal characters are homely , even downright ugly ( harry , the young boy who grows up to become the romantic lead , sports a shaved head ) , but they ' re all the more endearing - - and convincing - - for that . the dialogue is often grossly hilarious , as when harry lands a job as a dishwasher in a restaurant you wouldn ' t want to eat in ; and van passel has a real talent for creating scenes and situations that are at once surreal and completely believable .

some like it hot : in many ways , the ultimate billy wilder film ( 1959 ) , replete with breathless pacing , transvestite humor , and unflinching cynicism . most of it is hilarious , but there is something disquieting in the way wilder dances around his sexual theme - - the film never really says what it ' s about , which might be just as well . jack lemmon and tony curtis are the two musicians who disguise themselves as members of an all - girl orchestra in order to escape from gangster george raft ; marilyn monroe is the band ' s star , um , vocalist . with pat o ' brien , nehemiah persoff , and joe e . brown , who gets the punch line .

love and anarchy : passion , in its various forms , does not mix with politics ; and nowhere is this clearer than in lina wertmuller ' s marvelous study of a simple peasant ( giancarlo giannini ) with a mission to assassinate mussolini , and of the two ladies of rome ' s most decadent and sumptuous brothel who innocently ( yet destructively ) manipulate his anarchist ardor - - and ultimately set up his destruction . a giddy , felliniesque portrait of human feelings building to a fever pitch . with mariangela melato , eros pagni , and lina polito .
