SARK, SMALL WORLD

Synopsis: This documentary provides an in-depth portrait of the island Sark. Sark is a community of only 550 people and although formally part of the United Kingdom, it is actually constituted with its own parliament and laws.

“What makes this film so delightful is that within its own self-imposed constraints, it is just beautifully crafted. Every single shot is well composed, the music track is spare and tactful, the editing is nicely-timed yet unobtrusive, and the approach towards the characters is humane and non-judgmental. There’s an irresistible purity to the overall effect.” - Dox Magazine

THE STRANGER

This week’s classic is The Stranger by one of the geniuses of American cinema: Orson Welles.

Wilson releases Kindler's former comrade Meinike and follows him to Harper, Connecticut, where he is killed before he can identify Kindler.

An earnest convert to Christianity, who once ran a Nazi concentration camp, is capable of exposing him. So "Rankin" kills this little old man and buries his body in the forest. But he isn't safe because an investigator from the War Crimes Commission is on his tail. Rankin will need his own wife to help him elude capture. But his fascination with the local clock tower may prove his undoing.
