Thriller in Manila
In 1975 Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier met for the third and final time. What unfolded in the searing heat of Manila is now considered one of the great boxing matches. Where Once Were Kings
cloaked boxing in the mantle of zeitgeisty commentary by famous writers, this documentary tells its story through the battered eyes of Joe Frazier, one of the combatants. It is the story of a bitter rivalry stoked by the racial politics of 1970s America. Frazier’s relentlessness made him the perfect foil for his nemesis Ali given their contrasting styles and the vitriol they hurled at each other for so long. Finally, on one brutal morning in Manila, all of the social contexts fall away and it is simply two men facing off in some sort of elemental contest, with each prepared to die before stepping back. This is a fascinating portrait of a life lived and the blows taken, and that’s something with a relevance reaching well beyond the ring.
Tony Manero
Sometimes a movie is more than just a movie. In the midst of Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile, Raúl Peralta, a man in his fifties, is obsessed with the idea of impersonating Tony Manero, John Travolta’s character in Saturday Night Fever. So young, so stylish, so yankee. Raúl rewatches the film obsessively, learning the dialogue by heart even if he doesn't understand English. He leads a ragtag group of dancers perfecting their disco routine at a seedy bar on the outskirts of the city. Every Saturday evening, Raúl unleashes his passion to be someone else by imitating his idol. His dream of being recognised as a star is about to become a reality when the national television announces a Tony Manero impersonation contest. His urge to reproduce his idol’s likeness drives him to commit a series of crimes and thefts. In the meantime, his dancing partners,
who are involved in underground activities against the regime, are persecuted by the government’s secret police. Tony Manero is a story about a movie star, a white suit, and a Hollywood film in South America; that is to say, it is about the loss of identity in the recent Chilean history.
