Machuca

2004, Chile, Dir: Andrés Wood
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A look at Chilean society during the end of the Allende era told trough the eyes of two kids from opposite social background. Well made but perhaps a bit slow and melodramatic, it is worth seeing if you are interested in journey through a different time and culture.

Ghost in the Shell

1995, Japan, Dir: Mamoru Oshii
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Classic cyberpunk caper in the Akira league, with great visual ideas, a rushed plot and diabolical soundtrack and dubbing. Definitively worth seeing if you like good animation
