The 1970s in the US were a time of punk rock, loose morals, feminism, and sun glare in photographs. (which is what the poster for the film looks like, by the way). The main character, Dorothea, played by Annette Bening, constantly questions her qualifications as the mother of 15-year-old Jamie. The second heroine is Abby. A photographer and active member of the punk movement, this photographer is recovering from a severe illness. And the third is young Julie, Jamie’s best friend. Both Abby and Julie try to help Dorothea better understand her son. Director Mike Mills called his partly autobiographical film “. A declaration of love to all the women who took part in his upbringing, especially his mother and sisters. What did that confession turn out to be?

Christine (USA, UK, 2016)
Have you ever heard of Christine Chubbuck? So, you already know that she was the first and only reporter in history to commit suicide on live television. She worked in crime reporting for a while before becoming the host of her own talk show. The management of the television channel constantly demanded more blood on the screen, which internally she was totally opposed to. On July 15, 1974, she began her on-air show, as she always did.
But when a technical hitch occurred with the video, Christine calmly said to the camera. “In accordance with Channel 40’s policy, which calls for more bloody episodes in bright colors. You will now see the first attempted suicide,” and then she shot herself in the head. The broadcast was interrupted, and 14 hours later, the journalist died. This film is an explanation of that terrible act, and perhaps the justification of the heroine herself.
