Saji, Bonny, Bobby and Franky are four brothers living in a small, dilapidated house in the village of Kumbalangi. Saji's father had married Bonny's mother, who then gave birth to Bobby and Franky. When their father dies, the mother abandons the boys to join a religious mission, leaving Saji to be the man of the house. Saji has anger management issues, and often gets into fights with Bobby, an unemployed youngster. Franky is ashamed of Saji and Bobby but gets along well with Bonny, who is mute and kind. Bobby starts dating Baby, a girl who lives nearby. He eventually proposes to her, but she asks him to talk to her family first. Bobby asks Saji to accompany him, and together they go to meet Shammi, Baby's brother-in-law. Shammi rejects the proposal and ridicules the poor reputation that Bobby's family has among the villagers. Saji tries to console Bobby and asks him to get a job, which he does. One day, a fight breaks out between Saji and Franky. Bonny, who is very protective of Franky, hits Saji. Ashamed, Saji leaves the house and takes to drinking with his friend Vijay. In his drunken stupor, Saji tries to commit suicide. Vijay saves him but loses his own life in the process. Stricken with remorse, Saji goes to Vijay's house to apologise to his wife, Sathi, where he finds her in labour. He takes her to the hospital, where she gives birth to a baby girl. Saji takes Sathi and her daughter to his house. Meanwhile, Bonny has brought home an American tourist, Nylah, who has been kicked out of her hotel for inviting Bonny there. Franky is pleased to have the two women in the house, as it gives them some semblance of being a regular family. Some time later, Saji approaches Shammi again and asks him to reconsider the proposal, which Shammi refuses. Baby makes up her mind to elope with Bobby. However, Shammi finds out about Baby's plans, and turns abusive and violent. He assaults Baby, her sister and their mother, holding them captive in their own home. When Baby fails to return his calls, Bobby get anxious and decides to check up on her. Bobby's brothers volunteer to help, and the four arrive at Baby's house. Together, they manage to trap Shammi with a fishing net and set the women free. Bobby and Baby are finally reunited and get married.

    Terrorizers (1996)

    Terrorizers
    Genre:
    Drama
    Country:
    Taiwanese
    Ostensibly inspired by a documentary on a German terrorist group, Edward Yang’s austere third feature discovers, hidden within the stillness of human emotion, a terror far more brutal than any moment of physical violence. Bookended by images of guns and corpses, the film’s true focus is on the violence enacted in everyday relationships, whether between lovers, coworkers, or strangers. The narrative weaves intricately among three scattered groups of characters: a doctor and his novelist wife, a mopey female hoodlum, and a love-struck photographer, all threaded together by one prank phone call and a sense of deceit and lingering entropy. Yang said the film was “built rather like a puzzle; the spectator can rearrange it in his head when he gets home.” It is the inescapable feeling, not the telling, of the story that matters. Indeed, the gunshots at the beginning and end seem interchangeable, almost anticlimactic, rendered quaintly obsolete by the film’s painstakingly traumatic layering of human relations and their emotional violence.

    Director Daisuke Tengan, son of acclaimed Japanese writer and filmmaker Shohei Imamura (The Eel, Vengeance is Mine), weaves this fanciful tale of a small seaside village with the highest birthrate in all of Japan. Set in the early 1990s, the ambitious rural epic follows a collection of small town eccentrics from Kaname as they eagerly await the arrival of the Prime Minister. In recent years, fewer married couples have been having children and women are waiting until they are much older to marry. Since the town of Kaname has such an impressive birthrate, the Prime Minster is planning to personally bestow its citizens a special award for excellence in procreation. The post-bubble economy in Japan is booming, everyone seems to have a cell phone and it isn't unusual to find vending machines that are fully stocked with schoolgirls' underwear. Newspaper reporter Kazuya Mizuno (Tomorrow Taguchi) has been exiled to Kaname following a high profile sex scandal. Kaname is the kind of town where little of note ever really happened, and as Mizuno gradually gets to know the locals he forms a growing fixation on widowed bar owner Teruko. Teruko is still in her thirties, and the spell she casts over Mizuno is absolutely undeniable. Before long, the entranced journalist is bearing witness to a virtual sexual revolution. As reality begins to distort and the bizarre story comes to an orgiastic climax, the power of the orgasm becomes plain for all to see.
