Sour Lake Inspired by the name of an oil town in Texas, Sour Lake was the name given by Texaco in the sixties to a small town in the Ecuadorian jungle, known in Spanish as Lago Agrio. This name underlies the framework that builds the film: from the surroundings of this city to the Colombian Andes, where the jungle vegetation merges with the mountains.

Judith Butler: Philosoph... Does gender = sexuality? How does the family define gender roles? What are the dangers when society coerces gender norms?

In addition, Butler covers a wide range of subjects, broaching not only controversial gender issues-including transsexuality and intersexuality-but also 20th century Jewish philosophy, AIDS activism, criticism of state power and violence, gay marriage, and anti-Zionism.

One in a hundred thousan... Tamura Masakazu plays Shohei Yamauchi, a freelance reporter obsessed with finding out the truth about a traffic accident in which his beloved daughter died. Judging by the photo of the accident, which appeared in the news described by photojournalists as "one coincidence in a hundred thousand", and the survivor's testimony that "I saw a red fireball" immediately before the accident, the circumstances of the accident are questionable. The film is based on a late masterpiece by Seicho Matsumoto.
