John Rabe (2009) - Germany

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1124377/

Plot & Summary
John Rabe is, up till a few years ago, a forgotten figure. What happened a few years ago was the late Iris Chang's seminal nonfiction work "The Rape of Nanking", dramatising (some scholars would prefer the word 'exaggerating') the events of late 1937 when the Japanese troops essentially massacred up to 300,000 Chinese citizens – in a matter of weeks. Most of Chang's description – or more likely, what people remember most – focusses on the gleeful methods the Japanese used to dispose of the people at the time, but one thing from her book that struck many was how closely the story of the Nazi businessman John Rabe resembles that of Oskar Schindler. (The book was released within the memory of those who've seen Spielberg's Schindler's List.)

As such, it is inevitable that a movie would be made about John Rabe. Made in four languages (Germans speaking German, Chinese speaking German, Steve Buscemi speaking Mandarin impressively well, Japanese speaking Japanese, all nationalities speaking English to each other), this film seems to have receive funding from everywhere.

2046 [2004] - China

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212712/

Plot & Summary 
2046 is the latest slice of cinematic pie from the singular vision of Wong Kar Wai, one of those directors who you can look at a shot from any of his movies and know that he's the creator. He's very specific about camera, lighting, set and costume design, using these elements to wrap his very human dramas in very heightened surroundings. His most common subject is love, particularly love that fails.

In 2046, Tony Leung plays a man broken up by failed love. He engages in a series of relationships, often with similarly wounded women. These entanglements have an emotionally cumulative effect, creating a complex portrait of how love makes us sad. (A brilliant line refers to memories as "the trails left behind by tears.")

However it may sound, this is not a depressing picture, but an intellectually engaging one. Admittedly not for everyone, 2046 is drenched in romanticism, but you observe the characters more than you feel their pain. That doesn't mean the film is emotionally cold. The performances are all superb and you may recognize a bit of yourself in their actions.

Plot & Summary
This love story has Kitty meeting young, intelligent, shy and somewhat dull Dr. Walter Fane, whose forte is the study of infectious diseases, and the convenient marriage that she finds herself committed to. It is in this web of intrigue that they head for China, only after Walter discovers Kitty's infidelity with one dashing and witty diplomat Charlie Townsend. So much as to hide her from herself and to help thwart a cholera outbreak, this is a marriage more than on the rocks. This is a cold, indifferent and loveless partnership in a vast unknown and deadly environment that will test both these flightless lovebirds and with the hardships and tolerances more than any had ever anticipated. A visual delight amid the pain and suffering of a dying people and failing marriage. Will a cure be found for both, before it's too late?
