Meet The Fokkens

NL 2011 | sex | 52', 70' | Gabriëlle Provaas, Rob Schröder


Louise and Martine Fokkens are identical twins. For over 40 years they were working as prostitutes. They freed themselves from the control of their pimps, ran their own brothel, and set up the first informal trade union for prostitutes. Now they bid their farewells. A portrait of these remarkable women, as well as a history of the Red Light District in Amsterdam over the past fifty years.

Thanks for the heads up. That looks quite interesting.

Eleven people are preparing to pose naked for a book of photos. They were born disabled, like the director himself, due to the disastrous side-effects of Thalidomide. These fascinating characters are working in areas as politics, the
media, sport, astrophysics or acting and have learned to live with their disability to an impressive level of "normality". Filmed with a darkly humorous touch and no
deference to political correctness

there's an other documentary with the same title (by the swiss film-director R. Sibillia), focusing on hard SM and radical body modification

Do see it. It is a good film. Göran had a field day plundering SVTs archive of footage from back in the day.

I really want to see this one. I could probably use some English subtitles though.

"When Atlanta robber and crack dealer, Curtis Snow steals a video camera in a dope deal, he gives the camera to his best friend, Pancho, and they start documenting their lives. He sells drugs, he runs from the cops, all while trying to provide for his baby momma and two-year-old son. Through Curt's camera we get an unprecedented glimpse into life on the streets of the infamous West Atlanta neighborhood, known as Tha Bluff."

Subtitles so you can understand the ghetto slang?

[Tommy Carlsson]

Hell yeah. Do YOU understand what they're saying?

Just heard that it's not all documentary, and that bits of the film are staged. Definitely made me lose a lot of interest.

Not sure if it's been mentioned before but Vinyl (2000) is mandatory viewing for everyone on this forum. Don't let IMDB's tagline "Alan Zweig investigates the wacky world of record collecting" put you off - this is scathing, depressing documentary film making that reveals as much about your own habits as it does the subjects interviewed. Watch it to get a glimpse of your own future (or maybe even the present?) if you're not careful:

God I hope I don't turn out like some of the people in this documentary. Thanks for the link though, very interesting film.
