Der rechte Weg (Switzerland, 1983) Peter Fischli, David Weiss

Vs

WE ARE FAMILY (DT)
Kuei-mei, a Woman (Wo zhe yang guo le yi sheng, Taiwan, 1985) Yi Chang


Participants will have seven days to issue their votes. Therefore, this match will end on Monday August 31st at 9:00 pm (GMT -5, Bogotá, Lima *If you are not sure about time please check my local time going to my profile information

After the voting period is over, the votes will be counted and the results published.

Each user can vote on any match as long as s/he has watched both films paired against each other. Please cast your vote using the titles of both films in the following manner:


DER RECHTE WEG – 1 or 0
KUEI-MEI, A WOMAN – 0 or 1


And kindly BOLD your selection, if possible.

Managers are not allowed to vote on matches their own directors participate in, so Rischka — manager for Der Rechte Weg and DT– manager for Kuei-mei, a Woman, cannot vote in this match.

REMEMBER: This is a single-elimination round, so only winners will pass to next round.
In case of ties the winners would be defined by previous history of "total votes" (votes-for minus votes-against), so we will always have into account the number of votes from previous rounds.

If you have yet to see either film and still don’t have access to them, please send me a pm so I can assist you locating the the films to view.

VOTERS ARE REQUESTED TO POST THEIR THOUGHTS ON THE COMPETING FILMS ALONG WITH THEIR VOTE. THANK YOU.

loved the seeming inanity of the fischli and weiss film. it looks like an influence on sergio caballero, but i suppose this means we might not see finisterrae in a later round? :'(
I will talk breathlessly about Spanish and Portuguese cinema, João César Monteiro, Ritwik Ghatak, and Jacques Rivette, and hardly ever about anything else.

Yeah I was going to say, it really reminded me of Finisterrae, which is one of my favorite films. Plus it inspired me to watch the other two Fischli & Weiss movies listed on IMDB. Haven't watched Kuei-mei yet, but this one will be tough to beat.

I've seen enough decades-spanning Taiwanese family dramas to find the situation and the arc of KUEI-MEI too familiar - dad's no good (while a-courting he says he doesn't drink or smoke, she thinks great!, forgetting the other two great vices of the Chinaman), the wife and kids suffer, she has to keep everyone afloat as the years pass, everyone's aged and weary at the end - and while it may not be up there with the best of those films it's because that bar's pretty high.

I'll likely be in the minority here, must be I just have a head like an oak board that certain types of humor and postmodernist antics just glance right off it, like nails that just won't be pounded in, but Rischka's movie about the two chaps in moldering rodent(?) suits roaming the Swiss mountains trading dadaist banter: not Karl's sort of thing.

DER RECHTE WEG – 0
KUEI-MEI, A WOMAN – 1

wonderful choices for the genre, rischka -- and that's before even having to use two of the greatest.

Didn't have time to see these but I'll do my best to get around to them eventually. They look good.

Congrats, rischka - poor old Kuei-mei didn't stand a chance! :dead:

In keeping with my genre's Asian motif, these are the three remaining films I planned to use:

Foster Child (Philippines, 2007) Brillante Mendoza
Woman on Fire Looks for Water (Malaysia, 2009) Woo Ming Jin
Butterfly and Flowers (Thailand, 1985) Euthana Mukdasanit - couldn't find a trailer but the whole film's on YouTube.
